Release Train Engineer​/Scrum Master Secret Clearance

Release Train Engineer / Scrum Master – Hybrid (Washington, DC)

Clearance Required:

Secret

Are you an Agile leader who gets energized by driving real organizational change? Aperio Global is looking for an experienced Release Train Engineer/Scrum Master to play a pivotal role in modernizing spectrum management systems across the federal government. If you're someone who can coach teams, influence leadership, and keep complex programs moving forward — all at the same time — we'd love to talk.

This program is transforming how the federal government manages its spectrum systems portfolio, bringing in smarter technologies, better automation, and stronger interoperability across agencies. As the RTE/Scrum Master, you'll be at the center of that transformation — helping teams work better, move faster, and deliver real value.

This role is equal parts strategic and hands-on. At the program level, you'll lead SAFe adoption, facilitate PI Planning, Scrum of Scrums, and Inspect & Adapt workshops, and develop roadmaps that keep everything aligned with task order requirements. You'll manage cross-team dependencies, oversee integration strategies, and make sure all the moving pieces come together into seamless, fully integrated solutions.

On the people side, you'll be a coach and mentor — building Agile maturity across teams, guiding other Scrum Masters, and fostering a culture of transparency, continuous learning, and high performance. You'll also champion Dev Ops practices and help teams embrace continuous delivery as a natural part of how they work.

When obstacles arise — and in complex programs, they always do — you'll be the one leading the charge to resolve them, whether that's facilitating Lean problem-solving workshops or working directly with senior leadership to clear the path forward.

This is a hybrid position based in Washington, DC. You'll be working across multiple teams and task orders, so strong relationship-building skills and the ability to influence without authority are just as important as your Agile credentials.

We're looking for someone with at least 10 years of experience, including 5+ years in roles like Scrum Master, RTE, or Agile Coach — with at least 4 of those years in complex, enterprise-level environments. You should have a proven track record leading SAFe transformations, implementing Lean Portfolio Management, and facilitating large‑scale Agile ceremonies. Hands‑on experience with tools like Jira, Confluence, Git Lab, and Service Now is expected.

A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Business, or a related field is required. A Master's degree is preferred.

SAFe Program Consultant (SPC) and Certified Scrum Master (CSM) are preferred. Advanced certifications like SAFe Scrum Master (SSM), SAFe Agilist (SA), or Advanced Certified Scrum Master (A‑CSM) are a strong plus.

If you're a seasoned Agile leader ready to make a meaningful impact on a high‑visibility federal modernization program — and you hold an active Secret clearance — we'd love to connect!
