Agile Coach / Scrum Master
Job Description
Join Us as a Scrum Master / Agile Coach
Embark on a pivotal journey with a company on the cusp of significant growth. The foundational elements are set, and now we’re diving into the most dynamic phase: building the core system that will power our future. We’re seeking a driven Scrum Master / Agile Coach ready to step into this exciting transformation, guide our exceptional teams, and strategically shape our path forward.
This role is far beyond maintaining the status quo. It’s about actively creating processes, cultivating a thriving Agile culture, and nurturing systematic team growth. You won’t merely follow frameworks; you’ll be instrumental in tailoring and defining how Agile thrives within our unique environment.
Shape Our Future: The Impact You’ll Make
Your work will have tangible, wide-ranging impact. Imagine influencing organizational design, transforming how teams interact, rethinking decision-making flows, and optimizing crucial processes. You’ll partner directly with leadership and cross-functional units, driving change where it matters most.
This is a broad and deep playing field. You’ll play a key role in leading our evolution from initial setup towards mature Agile practices โ a journey that builds significant seniority and expertise. Collaboration extends beyond product teams; you’ll engage with platform units, shared functions, and business stakeholders, offering unparalleled exposure and responsibility.
You’ll be at the table with decision-makers, not just facilitating, but helping to steer the course through systems thinking and proactive guidance. We provide the necessary tools โ Jira, Confluence, Miro, comprehensive dashboards, and cutting-edge AI assistants โ so you can focus entirely on driving meaningful organizational change.
What You’ll Be Building
As our Scrum Master / Agile Coach, you will:
- Launch and champion Agile processes (Scrum, Kanban) across diverse product teams, fostering adoption and understanding.
- Masterfully facilitate crucial team rituals, from Sprint Planning and Retrospectives to Daily Stand-ups, Backlog Refinement, and Demonstrations.
- Implement, adapt, and leverage key Agile metrics (like Lead Time, Delivery Rate, Predictability) to provide actionable insights aligned with business context.
- Act as a dedicated coach and mentor, training teams on Agile practices, estimation techniques (Story Points, Planning Poker), and effective backlog management.
- Design and establish seamless collaboration frameworks between stream-aligned, platform, and shared functional teams, expertly managing crucial dependencies.
- Champion a culture of continuous improvement, utilizing feedback loops, team health assessments, and exploring innovative approaches to enhance performance.
The Exciting Challenges Ahead
This role comes with significant opportunities for growth by tackling stimulating challenges:
- Guiding teams new to Scrum and Kanban through the initial launch phase.
- Navigating and optimizing complex dependencies across multiple interconnected teams.
- Driving significant cultural change, shifting from a task-focused mindset towards Agile prioritization and shared ownership.
- Collaborating closely with leadership to align expectations, sync on metrics, and champion organizational change initiatives.
- Engaging with complex, highly technical domains, including Fintech, Crypto, and Trading environments.
What We’re Looking For
We seek a passionate and experienced Agile leader with:
- At least 3 years of hands-on experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach, ideally within product development teams. Experience in IT, Fintech, Crypto, or Trading is a significant plus.
- A robust understanding of Scrum, Kanban, and the ability to effectively tailor frameworks to meet specific business needs.
- Practical experience implementing Scaled Agile frameworks (like SAFe or LeSS) is highly valued.
- Familiarity with the OKR framework and a proven ability to connect delivery processes to tangible business outcomes.
- A track record of successfully launching Agile processes from the ground up and experience operating within large-scale Agile environments.
- Confidence working with Agile team metrics and translating their insights into clear business value.
- Exceptional facilitation, group dynamics, and conflict resolution skills.
- Familiarity with DevOps principles, CI/CD pipelines, and modern software engineering workflows.
- Proficiency with collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Miro. Experience leveraging AI tools to enhance productivity is a bonus.
- Relevant certifications (e.g., PSM I/II, ICP-ACC, SAFe, LeSS) are a welcome addition.
- Fluency in Russian is required.
What You’ll Step Into (Our Offer)
Join a dynamic team where you’ll find:
- A high-impact role with a wide sphere of influence, touching product, platform, and business functions.
- A genuine opportunity to drive organizational shifts and innovation, rather than simply adhering to existing structures.
- Full flexibility with fully remote work from anywhere.
- Generous paid time off: 28 standard calendar days, plus 12 bonus days.
- 100% paid sick leave coverage.
- Comprehensive support for corporate training and professional development opportunities.
