• Facilitate Production Team Agile ceremonies, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily scrums, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
• Track production incidents, recurring defects, and root-cause corrective actions to ensure they are prioritized, assigned, and completed.
• Coordinate data-quality remediation activities, including issue intake, validation criteria, ownership, prioritization, status reporting, and closure verification.
• Identify and manage dependencies among the Production Team, application-development teams, Platform Team, CI/CD Team, infrastructure/OS team, database team, cybersecurity personnel, and data owners.
• Help remove impediments affecting Production, Platform, and CI/CD teams, escalating cross-team dependencies, decisions, resource constraints, and operational risks when necessary.
• Lead and facilitate SAFe ceremonies to include Sprint Planning and Sprint Reviews to include demos, Sprint Retrospective, and PI Planning.
• Coach teams on Agile and Scrum principles with the goal of continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• You’re enthusiastic, collaborative, and comfortable working with teammates across a range of technical backgrounds.
• You also meet the following qualifications: BS in Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or related field and 12 or more years of prior relevant experience or Masters with 10 or more years of prior relevant experience.
• Active TS/SCI clearance and ability to obtain/maintain a TS/SCI with CI Polygraph.
• Experience managing and prioritizing a backlog that includes a mix of production incidents and operational defects, preventive maintenance and technical debt, environment changes and release-support activities, data-quality remediation and validation, monitoring, and vulnerability remediation.
• Experience with production operations and support processes, including incident management, problem management, root-cause analysis, change management, release coordination, service restoration, and post-incident corrective actions.
• Familiarity with data-quality management concepts, including data validation, completeness, accuracy, timeliness, consistency, reconciliation, defect tracking, and remediation workflows.
• Ability to translate operational needs into clear epics, features, user stories, acceptance criteria, priorities, and definitions of done.
• Experience facilitating Agile ceremonies, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily scrums, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and cross-team dependency discussions.
• Ability to coordinate effectively with developers, production support personnel, the Platform Team, the CI/CD Team, infrastructure teams, cybersecurity personnel, data owners, and mission stakeholders.
• Strong facilitation, prioritization, stakeholder management, written communication, and organizational skills.

Desired Skills

• Experience serving as a Scrum Master for multiple technical teams or a team-of-teams delivery structure.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, Elastic, Redis, CI/CD tooling, GitOps, infrastructure automation, or cloud-native application operations.
• Experience with observability tools and practices, including dashboards, metrics, logs, alerting, service-level indicators, and service-level objectives.
• Experience with data-governance, data-quality, master-data, ETL/ELT, data reconciliation, or data lineage activities.
