[Hiring] Scrum Master @Axented

Role Description

The client is midway through migrating a 15-year-old monolith to a microservices architecture using a strangler fig approach, supported by an active AWS partnership. Engineering is organized into three delivery pods plus dedicated data engineering and marketing technology teams, together supporting four customer-facing surfaces: a provider portal, a pharmacy portal, a patient account portal and a mobile app. The existing Technical Project Manager is spread across 28 concurrent Jira projects, which leaves no capacity for day-to-day Agile facilitation and backlog hygiene. This role closes that gap.

• Facilitate core Agile ceremonies across the engineering pods: sprint planning, daily standups, backlog grooming and pointing, sprint reviews and retrospectives.
• Own Jira hygiene: backlog upkeep, sprint board maintenance, ticket quality and reporting.
• Partner closely with engineering leads and the existing TPM to keep planning and documentation current without duplicating PMO responsibilities.
• Act as the communication bridge between the teams executing the migration and project stakeholders, translating technical progress into clear status updates.
• Support coordination across the pods as priorities shift.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a Scrum Master or in a comparable Agile facilitation role.
• Strong hands-on Jira expertise, including backlog management, sprint boards and reporting.
• Solid grounding in Agile and Scrum ceremonies and practices.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, able to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Able to work 4 to 6 hours of overlap with US time zones (Pacific to Eastern).

Requirements

• Familiarity with TypeScript and AWS.
• Exposure to microservices migration patterns (such as strangler fig) or large-scale legacy modernization.
• Experience supporting healthcare, pharmacy or patient-facing systems.

Benefits

• Salary: 40 - 45 USD Per hour.
