We are looking for a Scrum Master for one of our clients.
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Scrum Master with around 2 to 4 years of experience to join the platform team. You will be the delivery engine for one or more engineering squads, ensuring teams operate at peak efficiency while also driving alignment, governance, and execution.
The ideal candidate is a certified Scrum Master with a strong technical background, who understands how software is built and can credibly engage with engineers, product managers, architects, and senior stakeholders. You bring structure without bureaucracy, and keep teams accountable while removing obstacles that slow them down.
Required Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field.
- 2–4 years of experience in Agile delivery, Scrum Master, or Technical Program Management roles within a software engineering environment.
- Active Scrum Master certification required: CSM (Certified Scrum Master) or PSM (Professional Scrum Master) — higher-level certifications (A-CSM, PSM II) preferred.
- Proven track record of managing Agile delivery for technical software products, ideally in a SaaS or analytics platform context.
- Hands-on experience with Agile tooling such as Jira and Confluence for sprint tracking, backlog management, and reporting.
- Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional dependencies and stakeholder expectations at the program level.
- Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with multiple concurrent workstreams.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to operate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
Key Responsibilities
1. Agile Delivery & Scrum Facilitation
- Own and facilitate all Scrum ceremonies: sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and backlog refinement sessions.
- Track sprint progress, identify blockers, and drive timely resolution to keep teams on track.
2. Stakeholder Management & Communication
- Serve as the primary point of contact for delivery status, risks, and escalations for your program area.
- Facilitate regular program reviews and steering meetings with engineering leadership and senior stakeholders.
3. Risk, Dependency & Impediment Management
- Identify, track, and mitigate risks and dependencies at both the squad and program level.
- Escalate impediments promptly and drive resolution across engineering, product, and operations teams.
4. Metrics, Reporting & Continuous Improvement
- Define and track Agile delivery metrics: velocity, cycle time, sprint burndown, defect rates, and release frequency.
- Administer and optimize Agile tooling (e.g., Jira, Confluence) to reflect accurate program and sprint-level visibility.
Preferred Experience
- Additional Agile or project management certifications: PMP, PMI-ACP, SAFe Agilist, or A-CSM.
- Prior experience as a software engineer, QA engineer, or technical analyst — hands-on technical background strongly valued.
- Exposure to scaled Agile frameworks such as SAFe, LeSS, or Spotify model in multi-squad environments.
