  • Support the Product Owner by:
    • Assisting in product discovery and using Agile prioritization techniques to manage the backlog.
    • Coaching the team on backlog refinement and estimation practices, ensuring concise, actionable stories (e.g., vertical slicing).
  • Build a high‑performing, self‑organizing team by fostering cohesion, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • Actively identify and help remove impediments, both technical and non‑technical, that affect delivery.
  • Promote Agile metrics to track performance, improve quality, predictability, and flow.
  • Enable the team to take ownership of their work and actions, guiding them through retrospectives and teaching problem‑solving techniques.
  • Ensure transparency of progress by providing clear and regular updates to stakeholders.
  • Implement and promote Agile quality practices such as Test‑Driven Development (TDD), Behavior‑Driven Development (BDD), and use of CI/CD pipelines.
Ideal Experience
  • BS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related area.
  • Experience in Project Management and Agile methodologies (Scrum, SAFe, etc.) typically obtained through 3+ years of experience.
  • PSM I or Certified Scrum Master (CSM) is preferred.
  • Proficiency in Agile tools like Jira, Confluence, Jira Align or similar.
  • Experience managing SaaS product development or large‑scale enterprise solutions.
  • Proven success in leading Agile transitions and fostering collaboration in cross‑functional teams.
