We're seeking a Scrum Master to help our network and infrastructure teams deliver with agility, clarity, and accountability.

• Partner with the Product Owner to maintain a clear, prioritized backlog
• Track and report on team metrics, schedule, and risks, escalating appropriately when impact warrants
• Foster collaboration across network, security, data center, and application teams
• Promote continuous improvement and healthy team dynamics
• Maintain Agile tooling and documentation (e.g., Jira, Confluence)

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Delivery Lead
• Solid understanding of Scrum and Agile frameworks, with exposure to Waterfall
• Working knowledge of networking concepts (e.g., routing and switching, DNS/DHCP, IP, MPLS, firewalls, VPNs)
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to be clear and concise with both technical and executive audiences
• Sound judgment and comfort making decisions, managing risk, and holding people accountable
• Experience with Jira, Confluence, or similar tools
• Ability to work onsite in our Lower Manhattan office 3 days per week

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in banking or financial services
• Background in a network engineering or infrastructure role
• Familiarity with data center technologies, cybersecurity (e.g., perimeter security, load balancing, segmentation), SD-WAN, or network monitoring tools
• Scrum Master certification (CSM, PSM, or equivalent)
• Familiarity with change management or ITIL processes
• Experience with scaled Agile frameworks (e.g., SAFe)

Thanks,
