We're building teams that grow, perform, and make an impact. If you're driven by the itch to make things better - a product, a process, a career - you'll fit right in.

At Kaseya, we don't just raise the bar. We build it.

GREAT opportunity to grow with rapidly growing company, Kaseya. We are seeking a Release Train Engineer to join our Business Applications Team.  We are at a key point in our organization’s growth as we transform our legacy Lead-to-Cash platform to a best-in-vertical juggernaut to drive our success.   

This is a newly created role — there is no playbook, no predecessor, and no existing ART structure to inherit. We have an agile practice, tools, teams, and a method of doing technical work.  We are looking for someone who has built an ART capability before: walked into an organization where the role didn't exist, earned trust across engineering and product, and systematically built the practices, ceremonies, and dependency infrastructure that made delivery predictable. If you need a defined structure to operate within, this isn't the right fit. If you thrive on building one, read on. 

Key Responsibilities

Establish the Role & Practice (Months 1–3) 

  • Conduct a rapid organizational assessment — map team topology, current ceremonies, tooling, and where value is getting stuck (two weeks) 
  • Define and socialize what the RTE function means in this organization; build buy-in with engineering leads, product managers, and senior leadership (< one month)
  • Stand up Program Increment (PI) Planning where it doesn't exist; retrofit or replace existing planning cadences where they do (by month 3) 

Hands-On Dependency Management 

  • Own the dependency board — not just facilitate it, but actively track, visualize, and resolve cross-team dependencies in tooling (Jira, Azure DevOps, or equivalent) 
  • Understand and manage upstream/downstream dependencies, surfacing risks before they become blockers Premier Agile
  • Apply the ROAM technique (Resolved, Owned, Accepted, Mitigated) to risks identified during PI Planning and track them throughout each increment  
  • Work directly in the delivery toolchain — structure work item hierarchies, configure dashboards, and maintain ART-level transparency in reporting 

Sprint Process Consulting 

  • Embed with Scrum Masters and teams to diagnose ceremony health — not to audit, but to coach and improve 
  • Serve as facilitator, flow steward, dependency broker, improvement coach, and strategic connector across teams 
  • Design and facilitate retrospectives, I&A workshops, and team-of-teams syncs that produce real process change — not just documentation
  • Identify and close gaps between how teams think they're working and how value actually flows 

Ongoing ART Leadership 

  • Serve as the first point of contact for cross-team challenges, maintaining transparency across the release train so that progress, risks, and impediments are visible to all stakeholders  
  • Facilitate ART Sync (Scrum of Scrums + PO Sync) and System Demos on a regular cadence 
  • Partner with Product Management and Architecture to ensure backlog readiness and alignment before each PI
  • Track a small set of meaningful delivery metrics and use them to drive improvement — not reporting theater 

What We're Looking For 

  • Demonstrated experience entering an organization where the RTE or equivalent role did not exist and successfully building it — you must be able to speak to this specifically in your interview 
  • Strong technical literacy in software delivery systems, CI/CD realities, and engineering constraints — enough to facilitate credible planning conversations with engineers and remove technical blockers
  • Hands-on proficiency in Agile tooling (Jira and/or Azure DevOps): work item structuring, dependency mapping, dashboards, and metrics
  • Deep fluency in SAFe — PI Planning, ART events, roles, and lean-agile principles (SAFe RTE or SPC certification preferred)
  • 7+ years in Agile delivery leadership; 3+ years functioning as an RTE or equivalent ART-level facilitator 

Differentiators 

  • Experience with value stream mapping to identify systemic bottlenecks and handoffs across teams  
  • Comfort operating in environments with ambiguous or competing priorities — you define clarity, you don't wait for it
  • Coaching presence that works at multiple levels: an individual Scrum Master in a 1:1, a skeptical engineering director in a leadership meeting, and an ART of 80+ people during PI Planning
  • Exposure to Lean Portfolio Management and connecting portfolio flow (epics, funding, OKRs) to ART execution  

What Success Looks Like 

  • 90 days: Org assessment complete, first PI Planning facilitated or scoped, dependency tracking live in tooling, key relationships established
  • 6 months: PI cadence running, Scrum Master community actively engaged, cross-team dependency incidents measurably reduced
  • 12 months: The role is institutionalized — teams know what it is, why it matters, and the RTE function outlasts any individual in it 

We know great RTEs are rare. If you've built this from scratch somewhere before and you're ready to do it again, we want to talk.  

Skills and Competencies 

  • Proficient in Agile methodologies, tools, and techniques, such as Scrum, Kanban, XP, Jira 
  • Excellent communication, leadership, facilitation, and conflict resolution skills.
  • Strong organizational skills with proven attention to detail in a deadline-driven environment.
  • Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and adapt to changing priorities.
  • Knowledge of software development life cycle, testing, and quality assurance processes.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Operations Management, Business
  • Certified Scrum Master (CSM) or equivalent certification, PMP, SAFe® Release Train Engineer (RTE) certification
  • At least 3+ years of experience as a RTE in a software development environment, >9 years in an agile software development environment

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
