Ideal Candidate:
Senior Scrum Master / Agile Delivery Lead with 5 to 8 years of experience supporting software engineering teams.

DORA Metrics:
Experience using industry-standard delivery metrics to measure engineering-team speed and reliability. Metrics include deployment frequency and lead time for changes.

DevOps / CI/CD:
Experience using automation tools to build, test, and deploy code to live applications or websites without manual file movement.

Cloud Development:
Experience building software hosted on remote internet servers rather than traditional on-premise office servers.

GenAI-Enabled SDLC Practices:
Knowledge of using generative AI tools, such as AI-assisted coding and testing tools, to help write code, test software, and manage the Software Development Life Cycle faster.

English Requirement:
English must be the candidate’s first language, or the candidate must demonstrate advanced English fluency. The candidate must understand and express complex ideas and participate in daily conversations across a wide range of topics.

• Connect teams with appropriate tools, techniques, and industry practices that can improve delivery outcomes.

Strengthen Communication and Transparency

• Establish effective visual-management practices that provide clear visibility into priorities, progress, and delivery health.
• Communicate delivery performance, risks, impediments, dependencies, and improvement initiatives to relevant stakeholders.
• Encourage early and frequent feedback from customers and business partners.
