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).
PERKS AND BENEFITS
- Professional growth: Accelerate your professional journey with mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
- Competitive compensation: We match your ever-growing skills, talent, and contributions with competitive USD-based compensation and budgets for education, fitness, and team activities.
