Remote Senior Scrum Master / Agile Coach (LATAM, Middleware & Data Engineering) ##26583

About the Position

... create world-changing products using God-given talents . ..

We are seeking an experienced Senior Scrum Master to oversee Agile execution across two distinct technical teams: Data Engineering (building BigQuery pipelines for Data Science/Analytics) and Middleware Engineering. Reporting directly to the Director of Engineering, you will play a critical role in evolving our Agile maturity, establishing predictable delivery, and mentoring our team members.

Responsibilities

• Team Evaluation & Agile Maturity: Assess each team’s current workflow independently to evaluate whether to evolve their existing Kanban framework or transition to Scrum based on their operational demands.
• Parallel Ceremony Facilitation: Facilitate separate, dedicated Agile ceremonies (Daily Standups, Backlog Refinement, Planning, Retrospectives, Demos) for both the Middleware and Data Engineering teams independently.
• Product Owner Mentorship: Train and coach our newly appointed Product Owners (a Business Analyst on Middleware and a Data Analyst on Data Engineering) on backlog grooming, epic/story drafting, acceptance criteria, and prioritization.
• Hourly Estimation & Velocity Tracking: Enforce and refine team estimation practices based on effort hours to accurately project release dates, establish team capacity, and track burn charts.
• Leadership Reporting: Leverage Jira to build dashboards, burndown charts, and progress reports, delivering clear progress and capacity updates directly to the Director of Engineering and senior leadership.
• Jira & Version Management: Set up and maintain Jira boards, workflows, components, and Fix Versions to ensure transparent tracking of releases and deliverables.

Requirements

• Experience: 6+ years as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach in technical environments (middleware, backend infrastructure, data engineering, or cloud databases).
• Framework Assessment: Demonstrated expertise in evaluating technical team workflows and determining the right framework choice (Kanban vs. Scrum vs. Scrumban) rather than imposing a single rigid methodology.
• Direct Reporting Line: Experience working directly under engineering leadership (Director level or above) to align delivery operations with high-level engineering goals.
• Reporting & Metrics: Deep proficiency in time-based estimation (hours-based tracking), capacity planning, and generating burndown/burnup charts in Jira.
• Jira Mastery: Advanced skills with Jira dashboard creation, custom fields, JQL queries, and Fix Version management.
• PO Enablement: Proven history of educating non-traditional Product Owners (e.g., BAs and Data Analysts) on key Agile artifacts and ownership responsibilities.

Nice to Have

• Certifications (Preferred): CSM, PSM II, PMI-ACP, or relevant Agile credentials; PMP certification is a strong plus.
