We’re looking for a collaborative and servant-leader-minded Scrum Master to support our development teams, protect the integrity of the Scrum framework, and drive high-quality, efficient delivery across our projects.

• Act as the Scrum process owner, ensuring adherence to the Scrum framework and coaching the team and Product Owner on effective practices.

• Remove impediments or guide the team toward identifying and resolving them.

• Facilitate Scrum ceremonies (daily stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives).

• Support the Product Owner by ensuring the product backlog is properly refined and ready for upcoming sprints.

• Coach the team and organization on Agile/Scrum values, principles, and best practices to maximize customer satisfaction.

• Foster a trusting and safe environment where issues can be raised openly without fear of blame or judgment.

• Facilitate effective decision-making, conflict resolution, and productive team discussions.

• Help the team reach higher levels of Scrum maturity at a sustainable and comfortable pace.

• Improve transparency through internal and external communication and information-sharing.

• Encourage self-organization within the team to fill gaps intentionally left in Agile/Scrum frameworks.

• Report project status, deviations, or risks to leadership and recommend appropriate corrective actions.

• Immediately escalate operational failures, time constraints, or extraordinary events that could impact project quality or timelines.

• Ensure full understanding of project deliverables and assess the quality of outputs against documentation and specifications.

• IT-related, scientific, or technical degree, or equivalent experience in a technology-focused environment.

• First-level Scrum Master certification (PSM I, CSM).

• At least one year serving as a Scrum Master or in a similar servant-leadership role for a software development team.

• Strong understanding of servant leadership, facilitation, conflict resolution, continuous improvement, and transparency.

• Experience using Agile techniques such as Epics, User Stories, Backlog management, Burndown charts, Velocity tracking, and Retrospective formats.

• Ability to distinguish clearly between what is and isn’t part of the Scrum framework.

• Experience with Agile practices (XP, Kanban, SAFe).

• Experience in medical device development and related documentation is beneficial.

• Excellent communication, coaching, and mentoring skills.

• Strong situational awareness, problem-solving ability, and adaptability.
