Job description

Job Description:

Broadcom’s Mainframe Software Division (MSD) is looking for a highly skilled and experienced Agile leader.

Mainframe systems are at the heart of the digital economy, with 80% of the world’s structured corporate data residing or originating on mainframes, and 55% of all enterprise applications hitting the mainframe to complete transactions. Our industry-leading products are critical to many Fortune 1000 companies.

This role is responsible for leading and supporting software development teams in delivering continuous value. It requires a deep understanding of Agile methodologies, change management, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate will drive continuous improvement, foster collaboration, and guide teams toward becoming self‑organizing, high‑performing units.

The role requires a strong ability to coach others and to effectively fulfill the Scrum Master role, enabling teams and individuals to grow in both mindset and practice. Building strong relationships with key stakeholders and applying a data‑driven approach to team performance are essential for success in this role.

This is an in‑person position. Remote work is not an option.

Key Responsibilities:

• Facilitate the growth of software development teams, empowering them to become self‑organized, high‑performing, and sustainable. Promote a healthy and collaborative work environment.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement within the teams by identifying areas for enhancement, facilitating feedback loops, and guiding the implementation of changes.
• Build and maintain strong partnerships with key stakeholders such as Product Managers, Engineering Managers, and other team leaders to ensure alignment of goals and priorities.
• Actively identify and remove obstacles that hinder team progress, ensuring that teams remain focused on delivering value.
• Monitor and track key performance metrics (e.g., flow metrics, velocity, cycle time) to drive actionable improvements in team performance, efficiency, and delivery.
• Facilitate essential Scrum ceremonies such as sprint planning, retrospectives, and daily stand‑ups, fostering open communication, collaboration, and transparency.
• Advocate for and implement Agile best practices across teams and the organization. Contribute to the development of cross‑team collaboration.

Skills:

• Solid understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban), with the ability to adapt practices to the needs of different teams.
• Excellent collaboration, facilitation, and coaching skills, capable of building trust and alignment within remote, multicultural teams.
• Proactive, solution‑oriented thinker with the ability to adapt to changing priorities and overcome challenges effectively.
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to mentor and develop high‑performing, self‑organizing teams.
• Strong capability in using Agile metrics (e.g., flow metrics, velocity, cycle time) to optimize performance and decision‑making.
• Excellent communication, problem‑solving, and facilitation skills, with the ability to manage expectations and influence stakeholders.
• Solid experience in guiding teams through change and fostering a growth mindset that embraces continuous improvement.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Computer Science or a global equivalent in a related field
• 8 or more years of experience in an Agile Software Development environment or a related field or Masters degree and 6+ years of related experience
• Subject matter expert in scrum, kanban, and lean principles
• Experience working and coaching in an agile environment
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Compensation and Benefits:

The annual base salary range for this position is USD 109,700.00 To USD 175,500.00

As a valued member of our team, you’ll be eligible for a discretionary annual bonus and the opportunity to receive not only a competitive new hire equity grant, but also annual equity awards, connecting your success directly to the company’s growth.
