Job description

• Facilitate Agile/Scrum ceremonies sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives for cross-functional engineering teams delivering full stack applications built on React, Angular, Node.js, and Java microservices. • Coach development teams and Product Owners on Agile and Scrum best practices, helping teams self-organize, improve estimation accuracy, and increase sprint predictability. • Manage and groom the product backlog in collaboration with Product Owners, ensuring user stories for front-end (React/Angular) and back-end (Java/Node.js) work are well-defined, prioritized, and ready for sprint planning. • Identify, track, and remove impediments blocking team progress, escalating cross-team dependencies such as API integration blockers between front-end and microservices teams to the appropriate stakeholders. • Coordinate release planning and sprint cadences with engineering leads, DevOps, and QA to align delivery of microservices and front-end features with business deadlines. • Track and report sprint metrics (velocity, burndown, cycle time) to leadership and stakeholders, using data to drive continuous improvement in team delivery performance. • Partner with engineering managers and architects to plan capacity across multiple Scrum teams working on containerized microservices (Docker/Kubernetes) and CI/CD driven release pipelines. • Facilitate communication between Product, Engineering, UX, and DevOps stakeholders to ensure alignment on requirements, technical constraints, and delivery timelines. • Support risk identification and mitigation planning for software releases, working closely with technical leads to assess impact of defects or delays across the application stack. • Drive adoption of Agile tooling (e.g., Jira, Confluence) and process improvements across teams, standardizing workflows for backlog management, sprint tracking, and reporting. Minimum Education Requirement: This position requires minimum of Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer information systems, information technology, or a combination of education and experience equating to the U.S. equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree in one of the aforementioned subjects.
