We are looking for a Release Train Engineer (RTE) for one of our agile trains. Are you an experienced and inspiring leader within agile development?

In the role of RTE, you will hold a central position in leading and further developing our cross-functional teams. You are responsible for creating good collaborations, driving continuous improvements, and ensuring efficient and well-functioning workflows.

With us, you will have the opportunity to contribute to a forward-looking and inclusive organization where innovation and sustainability are in focus. Do you have a passion for coaching teams, leading change, and creating structure that enables results – then we look forward to your application.

About the job

You will be part of the train leadership together with the Train Architect (TA), Release Train Engineer (RTE), and Product Manager (PM). As RTE, you have an overarching responsibility for how work is coordinated between teams and roles within the train, supported by agile methods and a lean-agile approach.

Your leadership is built on trust, and you function as a coach for the train members in matters concerning agile ways of working and basic principles. As RTE, you play a key role in creating conditions for efficient and well-functioning collaboration – where the goal is for the teams to work as smoothly and value-creating as possible.

In the role, there will also be opportunities to drive agile transformation throughout the organization through, for example, training, coaching, and facilitating improvement work.

In the role, you are responsible for, among other things:

• coaching and building relationships to optimize teams and flow through the train
• driving continuous improvement work and problem-solving regarding process and method
• communicating the train's overall status to stakeholders around and within the train in a systematic and learning-oriented manner

• monitoring, escalating, and removing impediments for the train regarding both development and maintenance
• managing risks and dependencies at the train level
• facilitating and easing the train's various ceremonies and processes

You belong to the IT department in the line organization, but work in a cross-functional agile train with competencies from several parts of the business. The IT department consists of approximately 350 employees and is a central part of our socially important mission, where the need for competence continues to grow.

With us, you are offered a developing work environment with a strong focus on engagement, innovation, and continuous learning. We actively work to create an inclusive culture focused on equality and sustainable employment, where different perspectives and experiences are seen as a strength.

Your profile

For us, it is not only what you have done or how long, but above all your ability to create results that is decisive. In the role of RTE, you have a strong and trust-based leadership where you inspire, guide, and support teams through change and continuous development.

You collaborate closely with other RTEs, product management, and teams to create efficient and well-functioning flows. With a holistic perspective, you see the train's role in a larger context, identify dependencies, and act proactively to optimize deliveries.

You are confident in your role, handle challenges with professionalism, and maintain a solution-oriented approach even in more demanding situations. At the same time, you are proactive, self-initiating, and thrive driving work forward in a dynamic and complex environment.

We are looking for you who have:

• an academic education in engineering or equivalent multi-year experience
• experience working with agile ways of working, preferably in the role of RTE, Agile Coach, or Scrum Master
• experience leading changes in ways of working
• experience setting up metrics, key figures, and associated goals
• experience coaching both teams and individuals
