About the Role
At Tsunami, we’re looking for a Scrum Master who brings structure without rigidity and drives delivery without micromanagement. You’ll partner with cross-functional teams to enable predictable, high-quality outcomes while strengthening our agile maturity.
This role is ideal for someone who combines strong facilitation skills with sound judgment—knowing when to coach, when to challenge, and when to step back.
What You’ll Do
- Facilitate core Scrum ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Standups, Reviews, Retrospectives) with a focus on outcomes, not just process
- Enable teams to plan effectively, manage commitments, and deliver consistently
- Identify and remove impediments, escalating when needed with clear context and solutions
- Partner with Product Owners to ensure backlog readiness and alignment to priorities
- Use delivery metrics (e.g., velocity, cycle time) to guide continuous improvement—not to enforce performance
- Improve team effectiveness, collaboration, and accountability over time
- Foster a psychologically safe environment where teams can raise risks, challenge ideas, and improve together
What You Bring
- 3–6 years of experience as a Scrum Master in a product or engineering environment
- Strong working knowledge of Scrum and agile principles, with the ability to apply them pragmatically
- Experience supporting cross-functional teams delivering software or digital products
- Confidence influencing without authority and navigating competing priorities
- Strong facilitation, communication, and problem-solving skills
- Experience with tools like Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar
Preferred: Scrum certification (CSM, PSM) and experience in scaling agile environments
How Success Is Measured
- Consistent, predictable sprint delivery
- Reduction in blockers and delivery risks
- Improved team engagement and collaboration
- Clear, transparent communication with stakeholders
