Job#: 3032747

Job Description:
Scrum Master

Location: Remote

Employment Type: Contract

Role Overview

We are seeking two experienced Scrum Master / Release Managers to support core platform initiatives. These roles focus on delivery execution, release management, and cross-team coordination, rather than process transformation or Agile coaching. This is a hands-on role for an individual who can integrate into active releases with minimal ramp-up time.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end release management activities, including change request coordination, release readiness artifacts, approvals, and ticket hygiene.
• Facilitate day-to-day Scrum activities as needed (stand-ups, retrospectives, planning), with an emphasis on delivery over ceremony.
• Coordinate with engineering leads, development teams, QA teams, core platform teams, API teams, and governance offices.
• Proactively identify and drive the resolution of risks, blockers, and environment issues.
• Maintain accurate tracking, reporting, and visibility using Jira.
• Communicate effectively with managers, stakeholders, and leadership.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a Scrum Master, Release Manager, or in a similar delivery role.
• Experience in release management within technology environments.
• Hands-on experience with Jira, including reporting and tracking.
• Experience coordinating releases across multiple teams and dependencies.
• Effective relationship-building and communication skills.
• Ability to operate in fast-paced and evolving environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting API-based platforms, integrations, or core systems.
• Familiarity with development lifecycles across development, QA, and UAT environments.
• High-level technical fluency.
• Background in regulated industries is not required but is beneficial.

What Will Make You Successful in This Role

• A focus on delivering results over enforcing Agile theory.
• Proactive, decisive, and solution-oriented work style.
• Comfort with joining active releases and resolving issues in real time.
• Ability to navigate governance processes effectively.

Compensation & Benefits

The anticipated pay range for this position is $40.00/hr to $45.00/hr on a W2 basis. The duration of the contract is 12 months with a possibility of extension. Benefits are available to eligible employees.

We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
