Scrum Master at Pharmarun

What you'll do

• Lead sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews and retrospectives.
• Work with Product and Engineering to ensure the backlog is refined and sprint-ready.
• Ensure user stories have sufficient requirements and acceptance criteria before entering a sprint.
• Facilitate estimation and capacity planning with the Engineering team.
• Track sprint commitments against actual delivery.
• Identify and remove blockers affecting engineers.
• Manage dependencies across Product, Engineering and other teams.
• Reduce repeated sprint spillover and unfinished work.
• Track engineering delivery metrics including velocity, cycle time, sprint completion and blocker resolution time.
• Maintain accurate delivery visibility in Jira or similar tools.
• Facilitate retrospectives that result in actual process improvements.
• Help Product and Engineering build a predictable and sustainable software delivery cadence.

This role may be for you if:

• You have 5+ years of relevant experience, with significant experience working directly with software development teams.
• You have previously served as a Scrum Master or Agile Delivery Lead for engineers.
• You understand the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and how work moves from requirements → development → QA/testing → release.
• You understand backlogs, user stories, acceptance criteria, story points, sprint capacity, velocity, dependencies and technical debt.
• You are highly proficient with Jira or similar engineering delivery tools.
• You can hold Product and Engineering teams accountable without becoming their line manager.
• You know when a team has an Agile problem versus a requirements, capacity or engineering problem.
• You use data to understand why delivery is slowing down rather than simply scheduling more meetings.
