Job Title: Senior Scrum Master (Agile Delivery)

Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Scrum Master to lead high-velocity software delivery teams. This is not a "meeting facilitator" role; we are looking for a technical Scrum expert who understands the fundamentals of software engineering, including Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD).
You will serve as the team's guide, coach, and protector. You will facilitate self-organization, shield the team from external distractions, and ensure that our delivery processes are optimized for sustainable speed and quality. If you are a practitioner who thrives on removing technical blockers and fostering transparency in a complex, multi-team ecosystem, this position offers a direct path to impact our engineering maturity.

Key Responsibilities
Agile Delivery & Coaching
• Ceremony Leadership: Facilitate sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, and demos. Ensure alignment between team goals and broader program priorities.
• Process Maturity: Assess the team's Agile maturity and coach them to higher levels of performance. Guide the team on writing, splitting, and mapping user stories to ensure consistent delivery.
• Impediment Removal: Act as a proactive blocker-remover. Identify and resolve systemic bottlenecks, whether they are technical, process-oriented, or communication-related.

Technical Collaboration & Metrics
• Engineering Alignment: Partner with Product Owners to validate priorities and with Release Train Engineers to integrate multi-team efforts.
• Metrics & Transparency: Manage and communicate relevant "information radiators" and metrics (e.g., velocity, cycle time). Ensure project/system tracking tools are maintained with 100% accuracy to reflect real-time progress.
• CI/CD Integration: Champion the team's adoption of CI/CD practices. Foster an environment where TDD and automated testing are fundamental to the "Definition of Done."

Culture & Communication
• Safe Delivery: Build and maintain a high-trust environment where challenges are addressed proactively. Facilitate work completion through influence and servant leadership rather than coercion.
• Cross-Functional Liaison: Serve as the primary interface for the team with stakeholders across the organization, ensuring that communications are transparent, timely, and radiate the right information at the right time.

Qualifications & Requirements
Minimum Qualifications
• Education: Bachelor's degree preferred.
• Certification (Strict): Certified Scrum Master (CSM) or SAFe Scrum Master (SSM) is required.
