Release Train Engineer / Developer
About the role
We are hiring a Release Train Engineer / Developer with strong mainframe skills to coordinate and deliver releases across a major lending platform built on FIS ALS. This is a delivery-and-coordination role at the centre of the programme: you will orchestrate the release train across development, testing, infrastructure and business teams, and act as the communication bridge between Product Management, Product Owners, Scrum Teams, business users and leadership.
Work authorizationThis role is open to candidates with EU/EEA citizenship or existing, unrestricted right to work in the EU — no visa sponsorship is provided. We are particularly keen to hear from candidates holding a Romanian, Polish, Bulgarian, Czech, Portuguese or Spanish passport (or other EU member state passport). This is a fully remote role.
Responsibilities
Release coordination
Coordinate release schedules across ALS development, testing, infrastructure and business teams.
Plan and orchestrate SIT, UAT, Pre-Production and Production deployment activities.
Manage ALS upgrades, patches and vendor (FIS) releases.
Ensure regulatory and compliance-related changes are delivered on schedule.
ALS-specific delivery
Coordinate change across ALS modules: Loan Origination, Credit Administration, Commercial Lending, Loan Servicing, and interfaces with Core Banking and Treasury systems.
Collaborate with FIS/vendor support teams, business SMEs, testing teams and infrastructure teams.
Manage code promotion, environment readiness and cut-over planning.
Communication & governance
Act as the bridge between Product Management, Product Owners, Scrum Teams, business users and leadership.
Track dependencies, risks and readiness across the release train; represent changes at change-approval forums (CAB).
Requirements
Essential skills
Strong mainframe skills — COBOL, JCL, CICS, DB2 (and ideally Coolgen / IEF, the technology underpinning ALS).
Experience coordinating releases across dev, test, infrastructure and business teams.
Hands-on planning of SIT / UAT / Pre-Prod / Production deployments and cut-over.
Exposure to FIS ALS or a comparable lending / core-banking platform.
Change and configuration management (e.g. Endevor / Changeman), scheduling (Control-M / CA7), Connect:Direct.
Comfortable managing tiered environments (Dev / Test / UAT / Pre-Prod / Production / DR).
Desirable
Release Train Engineer experience in a SAFe / Agile environment (PI planning, scrum-of-scrums).
Lending domain knowledge (loan origination, servicing, commercial lending, credit).
Experience with vendor release cycles and patch management on a packaged banking product.
Core Banking and Treasury interface integration experience.
Benefits
What we offer
Long-term engagement on a high-visibility lending transformation.
Fully remote - nearshore working.
Competitive day rate (aligned to channel and discussed on application).
