Imagine Next!At Parsons, you can imagine a career where you thrive, work with exceptional people, and be yourself. Guided by our leadership vision of valuing people, embracing agility, and fostering growth, we cultivate an innovative culture that empowers you to achieve your full potential. Unleash your talent and redefine what’s possible.Job Description:\nParsons is looking for an amazingly talented Release Train Engineer to join our team! In this role you will get to support the Joint Staff and Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO), where you will serve in a dual-level execution position critical to advancing the Department's data and AI capabilities. You will operate entirely within Palantir Foundry, bypassing traditional Agile tools like Jira or Azure DevOps. Utilizing Foundry's object-oriented data environment, you will track sprint cycles, manage Epics, and orchestrate Program Increments (PI).\nYour daily focus will shift constantly between macro-level program health (aligning technical tracks to Joint Staff mission objectives across all Pods) and micro-level team execution (coaching data engineers and scientists, facilitating ceremonies where needed). You will be challenged to manage the \"time crunch\" of this hybrid scope by heavily relying on automated Foundry dashboards to monitor team health, freeing up your time for strategic alignment, removing complex blockers, and driving Digital Use Case (DUC) development for government clients.\nWhat You'll Be Doing:\nTranslate complex Agile metrics into formal status reports for government Contracting Officer's Representatives (CORs), balancing Agile flexibility with rigid federal Statement of Work (SOW) boundaries.\nEnsure all development work aligns with federal security requirements (e.g., FedRAMP controls, Authority to Operate / ATO conditions) before it is slated for a release train.\nAlign multiple technical tracks (data ingestion, pipelines, front-end) to CDAO mission objectives and facilitate Digital Use Case (DUC) development across multi-directorate stakeholders.\nCoach individual developers and data scientists, facilitate standard Agile ceremonies, shield the team from scope creep, and actively identify, track, and resolve execution blockers alongside the team.\nManage Epics and PIs as custom Object Types within Foundry's Ontology, orchestrating PI Planning using interactive Palantir Workshop dashboards and Notepad documents to map visual object links.\nOrganize data-centric sprints (e.g., finalizing a writeback function or PySpark transform) using Foundry Tasks rather than traditional flat ticketing databases.\nBuild custom analytical workflows in Palantir Contour or Quiver to track velocity and bottlenecks, presenting real-time, interactive data apps directly to federal clients during Sprint Reviews.\nWhat Required Skills You'll Bring:\nActive TS/SCI security clearance required at time of hire - no exceptions.\n8 years of relevant professional experience\nBachelor's degree in a relevant field (Business, Information Technology, Project/Program Management, or related discipline).\nCertified Scrum Master (CSM), SAFe Scrum Master (SSM), or equivalent baseline Agile certification. Masters Degree will be considered in lieu of years of experience \nProven experience working in a federal or DoD contracting environment, with a working understanding of SOW execution and DoD security/ATO constraints.\nDemonstrated ability to proactively identify execution blockers, communicate them effectively, and work collaboratively inside a technical team to drive resolution.\nExperience managing software development, data engineering, or data science teams, with the ability to comprehend and unblock complex data pipeline dependencies.\n What Desired Skills You'll Bring:\nProven experience organizing, managing, and scaling technical teams utilizing Project Oriented Delivery (Pod) models.\nExperience guiding Digital Use Case (DUC) development, including requirements gathering, prioritizing features, and managing competing interests for multi-directorate stakeholders.\nActive SAFe Release Train Engineer (RTE) certification or SAFe Program Consultant (SPC).\nProven, hands-on experience structuring Agile workflows, Ontologies, and custom metrics specifically within Palantir Foundry (e.g., configuring Foundry Tasks, Workshop, Quiver, Contour).\nPrior experience directly supporting the Joint Staff, CDAO, or enterprise-level DoD AI/ML and data integration initiatives.\n Security Clearance Requirement:\nAn active Top Secret SCI security clearance is required for this position.This position is part of our Federal Solutions team.The Federal Solutions segment delivers resources to our US government customers that ensure the success of missions around the globe.
