In addition, the ideal candidate will possess a foundational understanding of AWS and cloud-based solutions, helping guide the team in leveraging AWS tools and services to enhance product development. Key Responsibilities: Agile Process Leadership: • Serve as the Scrum Master for multiple Agile teams, ensuring adherence to Scrum principles and practices. • Facilitate key Scrum ceremonies including Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives. • Act as a servant leader, removing impediments and helping teams stay focused and productive. • Foster a collaborative and high-performance culture within the development team. Stakeholder Management: • Work closely with Product Owners, Business Analysts, and other stakeholders to ensure clear communication of goals, progress, and dependencies. • Help prioritize the product backlog and ensure timely delivery of high-quality features. • Ensure transparency of team progress and issues through the use of Agile metrics (burndown charts, velocity, etc.). Continuous Improvement: • Encourage teams to continuously improve their processes and workflows. • Lead and support retrospectives to identify process bottlenecks and areas for improvement. • Coach and mentor team members on Agile best practices. AWS Knowledge Integration: • Leverage AWS knowledge to guide teams in selecting and utilizing appropriate cloud-based services to optimize performance, scalability, and security. • Help integrate AWS tools into the Agile development pipeline, ensuring streamlined CI/CD processes. • Assist the team in maintaining AWS cost efficiency while building and deploying solutions in the cloud.

Qualifications Required: • 3+ years of experience as a Scrum Master in an Agile environment, supporting cross-functional development teams. • Hands-on experience with Scrum, Kanban, and other Agile frameworks. • Strong understanding of cloud computing and experience working with AWS services (e.g., EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, etc.). • Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and cloud-native applications. • Certified Scrum Master (CSM) or equivalent Agile certification. • AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate or Developer - Associate (preferred but not required). • Strong facilitation, coaching, and mentoring skills. • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work with technical and non-technical stakeholders. • Problem-solving ability, with the capability to remove roadblocks and optimize team performance. • Familiarity with Agile tools like Jira, Trello, or Azure DevOps. Preferred: • Experience working with distributed teams in a multi-cloud environment. • Familiarity with AWS DevOps tools (e.g., CodePipeline, CodeDeploy, CodeCommit). • Experience working in a DevOps or Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) environment. Note: A significant internal experience-band mismatch — the header/highlights advertise "8 - 16 years" of experience, but the "Qualifications Required" section explicitly asks for only "3+ years of experience as a Scrum Master," a gap of at least 5 years from the advertised minimum. Naukri's Role tag for this listing, "Release Manager" (Role Category: DevOps), also does not match a Scrum Master job title, though the description content is fairly consistent with genuine Scrum Master responsibilities layered with AWS/DevOps familiarity.
