Release Train Engineer

Join Brainboss as a Release Train Engineer!

Are you ready to make an impact on high‑value projects from day one? At Brainboss, we don’t just manage projects, we help organisations gain control over their entire portfolio landscape. Our approach is rooted in
Product Portfolio Management (PPM): we structure initiatives, create transparency, and ensure that every initiative contributes to measurable business value. Through our proven approach, we guide clients from strategy to execution with clarity, discipline, and momentum. Whether it’s shaping a portfolio, setting up governance, or driving delivery, Brainboss ensures organisations move with purpose and focus.

As a Release Train Engineer, you'll run ARTs at some of the most complex organisations in the Netherlands, across public sector, financial services, and retail. You'll facilitate PI Planning, drive the cadence, clear impediments, and coach Scrum Masters and leadership through the change. What makes this role different from a standard RTE position is the altitude: at Brainboss we expect you to connect train‑level execution to the portfolio above it.

You'll be part of our Execution Team, working alongside experienced Consultants and Project Managers.
