Software Engineering
The Scrum Master (SM) ensures the way of working enables delivery within Avaya’s CI/CD Feature Team model. This role owns flow health, process discipline, and continuous improvement — protecting the team’s ability to deliver continuously through WIP discipline, impediment removal, and ensuring Jira reflects execution reality, not planning aspiration. It partners closely with the Product Owner (PO), Delivery and Execution Lead (DEL), Technical Lead (TL), and PLM (Analyst). It does not own backlog content/acceptance, delivery-commitment outcomes, product prioritization, technical decisions, or release Go/No-Go.
Facilitate Agile ceremonies (Daily Flow/standup, Planning, Refinement, Review, Retrospective, Demo) that produce decisions and momentum
Coach the team on sustainable pace, psychological safety, and customer-aware delivery conversations - without taking product ownership
Use AI (Tier 2 — Practitioner) to accelerate sprint-health, flow,
and retrospective prep; remain accountable for facilitation judgment and data integrity
Strong background in Agile ways of working; familiarity with Scrum, Secure, ICAgile, Scrum Alliance, and/or related certifications / continuing education
Work-item tracking experience — Jira preferred, or comparable tools (Rally, Azure DevOps/ADO)
Proficiency in Google Workspace preferred, or equivalent Microsoft Office fluency
Proven ceremony facilitation and coaching craft (Powerful Questions, Active Listening, constructive collaboration)
Strong stakeholder communication and conflict navigation under delivery pressure
Comfort using AI tools to support facilitation and metrics prep, with human accountability for decisions and board accuracy
Trustworthy, current Jira/Zephyr data
Sprint objectives supported through strong process facilitation — without the SM becoming a task manager, delivery owner, or people manager
Experience
9+ Years of Experience
Bachelor degree or equivalent experience
Advance Degree preferred in Computer Science or Related Field
