With our core values of Simplicity, Safety, Transparency, Humility, Attention to Detail, Autonomy and Growth guiding everything we do, we're shaping the future of automation in dynamic markets.

The Scrum Master II coordinates the work of an Agile development team and oversees the software development lifecycle. This role involves planning and facilitating scrum activities such as sprint planning, daily stand-ups, demos, board reviews, and retrospectives. The Scrum Master collaborates with clients or end users to understand business requirements and acts as a liaison between development teams and product management to ensure appropriate project processes are followed. Additionally, they identify and resolve impediments that may slow development or prevent the team from meeting established goals or milestones.

As a Scrum Master, you will work with engineering teams building software for ASI's autonomous vehicles. You will keep the team's work broken down, sized, and moving, and when a sprint starts to slip, you will find out why and get it in front of the people who can fix it.

Responsibilities

• Plan and facilitate sprint planning, daily stand-ups, demos, board reviews, and retrospectives, and schedule regular backlog grooming.
• Break stories down into substories, tasks, and spikes so every piece of work is sized and ready before the sprint begins.

• Map team capacity against planned work, and flag early when the schedule needs more people than the team has.
• Keep the team on committed work and confirm each member has completed the right steps on their stories.
• Identify and remove impediments that slow development or put sprint goals and milestones at risk.
• Escalate risks outside the development group to the right level of management, with a proposed path to recover.
• Serve as the link between development teams and product management so ASI's project processes are followed.
• Work with clients and end users to understand business requirements and carry them into the backlog.
• Support the Development Manager in planning, and coach team members on scrum practices and ASI processes.
