As a servant-leader and delivery partner, the Scrum Master works closely with Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and Product Operations (including Technical Program Managers) to ensure portfolio priorities translate into realistic, sustainable execution at the team level.

Responsibilities

• Serve as Scrum Master for one or more Agile teams, ensuring effective adoption of Scrum and Agile practices (Scrum, Kanban, or Scrumban as appropriate).
• Own team-level delivery governance and predictability, ensuring clear goals, realistic planning, and transparent signals on scope, risks and progress.
• Facilitate Agile ceremonies including Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-Ups, Reviews, Retrospectives, and Backlog Refinement.
• Coach teams on Agile principles, self-organization, and continuous improvement.
• Use quantitative and qualitative insights to identify bottlenecks, risks, and improvement opportunities.
• Facilitate outcome-focused retrospectives and ensure follow-through on improvement actions.
• Own cross-team coordination for work involving supported teams, ensuring dependencies, sequencing, and risks are understood and managed collaboratively.
• Partner with Product Operations and TPMs by providing accurate team- and cluster-level plans, capacity, and risk signals.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience as a scrum Master or Agile delivery lead supporting software engineering teams.
• Strong understanding of Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban) and modern engineering practices.
• Proven facilitation and coaching skills; able to navigate conflict and drive clear outcomes.
• Comfort with delivery metrics and basis analytics; ability to translate data into decisions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to adapt messaging for engineers, product leaders, and executives.
• Ability to influence without authority and build strong cross-functional partnerships.
• Familiarity with Agile tooling (e.g., Aha!, Azure DevOps).
• Background in software development, QA, or a related technical discipline.
