Scrum Master (Middle)

We are looking for a mid-level Scrum Master to support three cross-functional product teams that build and operate our web and mobile applications in a mostly remote setup. You will be a servant leader and coach, helping teams and stakeholders use Scrum effectively while keeping collaboration fast, lightweight, and outcome-focused.

About the team and setup:

• Three cross-functional Scrum teams (backend, web frontend, mobile, QA, design).
• Remote work with core collaboration hours.
• Startup environment: fast decisions, evolving processes, high ownership.

You will work closely with the founders, Product Owners, and tech leads to support a sustainable delivery pace as we scale.

Key responsibilities:

• Coach and support three Scrum teams in Scrum values, events, and empirical ways of working, adapted to a remote-first context.
• Facilitate key Scrum events (remote Sprint Planning, Daily Scrums, Reviews, Retrospectives) with clear outcomes, strong participation, and good use of online collaboration tools.
• Partner with Product Owners on backlog refinement, slicing work for web and mobile, and keeping priorities clear and transparent.
• Proactively identify and remove impediments, from tooling or communication issues to cross-team dependencies and scope conflicts.
• Nurture healthy team dynamics in a remote setting by encouraging open communication, psychological safety, and regular informal check-ins.
• Help teams use lightweight metrics (flow, predictability, quality) to run experiments and continuously improve, without turning metrics into targets.
• Coach team members and stakeholders on agile mindset, self-organization, and cross-functionality rather than taking on coordination work yourself.
• Encourage good remote practices: focused, timeboxed meetings; clear agendas; effective async communication in tools like Slack, Jira, and virtual whiteboards.
• Contribute to shaping our evolving agile practices across the startup (e.g., working agreements, release cadence, cross-team ceremonies).

Required qualifications:

• 2–4 years of experience as a Scrum Master with at least one long-running product team.
• Experience in small or startup environments where processes and structures are still evolving.
• Hands-on experience supporting remote or hybrid Scrum teams using tools like Jira, Slack/Teams, and Miro/Figma or similar.
• Solid understanding of Scrum theory, events, and artifacts, and when to adapt pragmatically.
• Comfortable facilitating engaging remote workshops and ceremonies (breakouts, digital post-its, polls, etc.).
• Strong communication, coaching, and conflict-resolution skills; able to work with developers, designers, testers, and founders alike.
• Good understanding of modern web and mobile product development (you don’t need to code, but you can follow the conversation).
• Confident use of AI tools to enhance analytical work, streamline operations, and improve productivity.
• Experience applying AI for requirements analysis, documentation, and knowledge management.
• Professional working proficiency in English.

Preferred qualifications:

• Prior experience supporting multiple teams as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach.
• Experience with continuous delivery and frequent releases for web and/or mobile apps.
• Certification such as PSM II/III or CSM is a plus, but practical experience matters more.

Soft Skills:
You’ll feel comfortable in this role if you:

• take ownership of your work and follow things through;
• prefer solving problems over just highlighting them;
• focus on results and keep things practical;
• communicate openly and respectfully with others.

We offer:

• Salary according to qualifications and experience;
• Official employment;
• 21 working days of paid vacation;
• 14 days paid sick leaves;
• Work on challenging web application projects which we deliver to our clients from all over the world (North America, Europe, Australia, Asia).
