ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Scrum Master to run core Scrum ceremonies and build high-functioning, continuously improving delivery teams across one to three squads.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Execute all core Scrum Master ceremonies and accountabilities - daily standups, backlog refinement, sprint planning, and retrospectives - across one to three delivery teams with minimal supervision.

- Design, implement, and continuously improve the Scrum framework in partnership with TDMs/Tech Leads and TPMs.

- Monitor delivery team capacity and manage the impact of sprint injections on team commitments.

- Facilitate delivery team discussions, decision-making, and conflict resolution.

- Champion and coach teams on Agile best practices at a sustainable pace, challenging the status quo to keep processes lightweight and continuously improving.

- Proactively surface project risks and define actionable mitigation plans before they escalate.

- Reduce friction between cross-functional stakeholders (Engineering, Product, Business) through structured, transparent collaboration.

- Facilitate clear, effective communication within the delivery team to enhance progress visibility and transparency.

- Coordinate with Scrum Masters on dependent teams and contribute to Scrum of Scrums and program-wide leadership calls and status updates.

- Maintain an impediment log with resolution tracking and escalation paths.

- Maintain stakeholder alignment artifacts (roadmap updates, dependency maps, blockers dashboards) in partnership with TDM/Tech Lead and Product.

MUST HAVES

- 4+ years of hands-on Scrum Master experience on software engineering or product delivery teams.

- Proven ability to execute all core Scrum Master accountabilities independently, with minimal guidance, across one or two concurrent teams.

- Demonstrated servant leadership, coaching teams on Agile best practices without imposing rigid process.

- Strong facilitation skills across team discussions, conflict resolution, and decision-making.

- Ability to understand and clearly articulate the business value of the work being delivered by the team(s).

- Track record of proactively identifying project risks and executing structured remediation plans.

- Experience challenging the status quo and driving continuous process improvement in partnership with technical and product leadership.

- Comfortable contributing to Scrum of Scrums and communicating work item status.

- Proficiency with Jira (sprint boards, backlog management, velocity tracking, reporting) and Agile lifecycle management tools (Jira Plans, Jira Boards, Jira Dashboards).

- Proficiency with Confluence (documentation, team spaces, retrospective artifacts).

- Proficiency with collaboration tools: Slack and Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Zoom).

- Upper-intermediate English level.

NICE TO HAVES

- Experience working in a matrixed, fast-paced tech organization (large tech company experience strongly preferred).

- CSM, PSM I, or equivalent Agile certification (preferred but not required where experience is demonstrated).

- Competitive compensation: We match your ever-growing skills, talent, and contributions with competitive USD-based compensation and budgets for education, fitness, and team activities.
