Team Coaching: Foster psychological safety, self-organization, and accountability across cross-functional engineering pods. Scope Protection: Partner with Product Management to assess the impact of scope changes on committed sprint goals and protect the team from unplanned interruptions. 2. Technical Release & Workflow Coordination Release Readiness: Partner with QA and Tech Leads to ensure compliance, testing coverage (e.g., TestRail), and sign-offs are complete before production rollouts. Branching & SCM Literacy: Understand Git-based version control workflows (e.g., Bitbucket PRs, feature branching) to align release schedules with technical readiness. CI/CD Alignment: Work closely with Senior Developers who manage pipeline automation to ensure smooth deployments and clear rollback plans. Tooling Operations: Maintain clean, effective Jira boards, dashboards, and Confluence documentation space for transparent team-wide visibility. 3. AI Productivity & Innovation Process Acceleration: Pragmatically leverage modern AI tools (e.g., Generative AI assistants) to optimize release notes, meeting summaries, process documentation, and delivery reporting. Qualifications & Background Education & Experience Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field. Agile Leadership: 3–5+ years as an Agile Delivery Lead, Scrum Master, or Technical Project Manager in a modern software environment. Required Skills & Expertise SDLC Literacy: Solid conceptual understanding of the software development lifecycle, containerization (e.g., Docker), CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing integration. Jira/Bitbucket Proficiency: Strong practical skills navigating Jira (building boards, filters, basic workflows) and understanding Git/Bitbucket release tagging. Communication & Influence: Proven ability to translate engineering status into clear business insights for product stakeholders and executive leadership. Preferred Qualifications Certifications: CSM, PSM, PMI-ACP, or equivalent Agile certifications. Tooling: Familiarity with test management tools (e.g., TestRail) or Atlassian release integrations. Domain Expertise: Experience in IT Service Management (ITSM) and Event Management is highly desirable.
