Scrum Master - Data & MuleSoft Integration
Location: Bangalore, India
Employment Type: Full-Time

Role Overview
Bridgestone Cortex APIs are a global Marketing capability that provides trusted, scalable access
to core business data across Bridgestone. Supporting teams in Europe, North America, and
Latin America, Cortex APIs enable access to product, location, inventory, fitment, pricing, and
services data that powers digital experiences, commercial operations, and customer-focused
solutions.
As Bridgestone evolves its data strategy for the age of AI, Cortex APIs will play a critical role in
making high-quality, connected data accessible across the enterprise. This team contributes to
strategically important initiatives that strengthen data-driven decision-making, accelerate
innovation, and support Bridgestone's ambition to become the world's number-one tire
manufacturer.
