## Description

We are looking for a hands-on Scrum Master with a proven track record of driving Agile delivery across cross-functional programs. In this role, you will work closely with engineers, developers, and business stakeholders to keep teams aligned, unblock progress, and move projects from kickoff to completion with consistency and purpose.

This is not just a ceremonies role. You will actively shape how the team works by identifying friction before it becomes a problem, building trust across functions, and making sure the right people have the context they need to make good decisions. If you thrive in environments where the work is technical, the stakeholders are opinionated, and no two sprints look exactly alike; this role is a strong fit.

You will thrive here if you:

 * Want to make a real impact on small, empowered teams.
 * Enjoy building a product that solves real-world problems and improves continuously through customer feedback.
 * Are energized by the challenge of integrating industrial controls hardware into a modern software platform.
 * Take pride in executing scrum ceremonies but also are mailable in their implementation.

What You'll Do

 * Own and drive Scrum execution: sprint planning, daily standups, backlog refinement, reviews, and retrospectives.
 * Ensure strong backlog hygiene, clear acceptance criteria, and alignment to sprint goals and QER objectives.
 * Identify and remove blockers quickly; escalate when needed to maintain delivery momentum.
 * Track and improve team metrics (velocity, predictability, cycle time, quality).
 * Coach teams on agile best practices and continuous improvement behaviors.
 * Drive cross-functional coordination across hardware, software, and product teams.
 * Ensure transparency through dashboards, reporting, and executive-ready communication.
 * Facilitate retrospectives that lead to tangible, measurable improvements.
