About Us

We are an immersive material experience company that connects architects, designers, contractors, and innovative brands through physical material libraries and digital technology. Our platform combines material discovery, product information, and digital tools to simplify product selection and decision-making for architecture, interior, and construction professionals.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Scrum Master with strong hands-on QA/Functional Testing experience to drive Agile product delivery while ensuring product quality and effective collaboration across Product, Engineering, QA, and Business teams.
