Are you a leader with a passion for agile development and operations who is eager to create value and an inspiring environment? We are looking for a Release Train Engineer (RTE) who can take our teams to the next level.

Join us in making society possible!

About the job

As the RTE for the Swedish Tax Agency's “STT train,” you will lead our largest agile release train that delivers management, operations, and development. You create a positive work environment, support team well-being, and provide guidance to ensure we meet our goals. You coach both the entire train and team members, teach agile methodology, and contribute to developing our delivery capacity. In choosing methods, you balance the practical with the analytical to select the most suitable approaches.

You will plan and facilitate our PI planning in an inspiring and efficient manner that creates value and transparency. You continuously work on following up and improving our efforts towards our common goals and priorities. Feedback and retrospectives are seen as natural parts of a journey to become better, and you build relationships that foster engagement. You work data-driven and create success recipes for how we develop both within our teams and within our Agile Release Train (ART).

With us, you will have the opportunity to grow in a leadership role within a large organization. You will gain a broad network and knowledgeable colleagues who share your commitment to society. Together, you contribute to solutions that benefit everyone in Sweden. We offer opportunities for continuous development and learning in the workplace. It is important to us that you maintain a balance between work and leisure, and we provide flexible working hours and the possibility to work partially from home.
