Remote Scrum Master Contract Job - Dallas TX

Remote Scrum Master Contract Job - Dallas TX — Remote This role is listed as remote with a Dallas, TX base, making it potentially attractive for digital nomads — but with important caveats. As a Scrum Master, your day revolves around facilitating live ceremonies : daily standups, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives. These meetings require real-time participation, meaning you'll likely need to be online during US Central Time (CT) business hours (roughly 9am–5pm CT). Async-friendly this is not — the role is inherently synchronous. The contract is 6 months with no Corp-to-Corp (C2C), meaning you'll likely need to engage as a W-2 or 1099 contractor. This limits flexibility for those operating through foreign entities. US work authorization is essentially required. If you're a US citizen or green card holder currently traveling abroad, this could technically work from any timezone within ~3 hours of CT (e.g., Medellín, Colombia at CT+1, or the US East Coast). More distant timezones like Lisbon (CT+7) or Bangkok (CT+12) would make daily standups very challenging. Medellín: ~$1,200–1,800/mo cost of living — very affordable if the contract pays well Lisbon: ~$2,000–2,800/mo — feasible but timezone overlap is strained Bangkok: ~$1,200–1,800/mo — timezone mismatch makes this impractical No travel perks (equipment stipend, coworking budget) are mentioned. This is best suited for nomads based in the Americas.
