A Senior-level Scrum Master is needed to join a high performing agile team using the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) methodology to support a large, complex, fast-paced technical program. Program execution follows DevOps best practices and employs robust development, test, and production environments.

• Work with Product Owner(s) and System Engineers to develop User Stories to meet the Feature acceptance criteria.
• Maintain and generate information radiators for the teams.
• Collect and share team metrics with the team, determine when new metrics are needed, and develop improvements in metrics.

Basic Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university and at least 12 years of relevant work experience. Additional relevant experience may be substituted for a degree.
