About the Role

We’re hiring a hands‑on Technical Project Manager / Scrum Master to support multiple Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams in a cloud‑focused environment. This is not a traditional PM seat. You’ll independently drive cross‑functional infrastructure initiatives, keep engineers focused on high‑impact work, and turn business goals into clear, measurable plans.

What You’ll Do

• Lead sprint planning, daily standups, backlog refinement, retrospectives and post‑mortems for one or more SRE teams
• Coordinate with Dev, Security and Cloud Engineering on containerization, version upgrades and AWS infrastructure changes
• Manage Jira workflows and hygiene: well‑defined, estimated tickets linked to Epics, Themes and priorities
• Track and report progress on reliability, performance and cloud‑cost initiatives using dashboards, Confluence and regular status updates
• Support incident and RCA management, compliance and access control, and system decommissioning
• Spot opportunities for automation, documentation and tooling improvements
• Protect engineering time by reducing context‑switching and closing out stale or duplicate work

Must-Haves

• 5+ years of experience in project management or technical program management, including Scrum Master work
• Strong Jira administration experience (dashboards, JQL, macros) and Confluence
• Agile/Scrum leadership background with proven ability to run Agile ceremonies
• Experience managing technical infrastructure or cloud‑related projects
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, ECS, Terraform and AWS
• Excellent cross‑functional leadership and stakeholder management skills
• Background in banking, finance or another regulated industry

Nice to Have

• Experience with observability and incident tooling (Datadog, New Relic, PagerDuty)
• Prior exposure to SRE and DevOps concepts
• Comfort analyzing data and presenting findings to both engineers and executives
• Ability to bring structure to ambiguous, undefined problem spaces
