Description

We are hiring a Scrum Master to keep our engineering teams on track, maintain and optimize our Jira and Confluence environments, and document and strengthen our development processes. This role combines hands-on tooling administration with team facilitation and process improvement to increase team predictability, quality, and throughput.

Preference will be given to candidates local to Newport News, VA.

Key responsibilities

• Run Agile ceremonies : facilitate daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and retrospectives to ensure predictable sprint outcomes.
• Jira administration : configure projects, workflows, issue types, screens, permissions, boards, and automation rules; maintain clean backlog hygiene and sprint boards for multiple teams.
• Confluence management : develop and maintain templates, knowledge bases, meeting notes, and runbooks; link Confluence pages to Jira issues to keep documentation current.
• Process design and documentation : map current development workflows, identify gaps, define standard operating procedures, and create clear, versioned documentation for engineering practices.
• Remove impediments : proactively identify blockers, coordinate cross-functional follow-up, and escalate when needed to keep teams focused on delivery.
• Metrics and reporting : track and report sprint velocity, cycle time, burn-down / up, and other actionable KPIs; present insights and improvement recommendations to engineering leadership.
• Continuous improvement : run retrospectives and lead experiments to incrementally improve team processes, workflows, and tooling automation.

Required qualifications

Preferred skills and certifications

Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.

We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don't wear capes (they're a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for "how it's always been done."
