Scrum Master | Codersbrain
Job Description
Primary Responsibilities
The ideal candidate will work with multiple small agile teams to deliver solutions in data
and analytics technologies.
Serve as Scrum Master for Agile teams delivering data and analytics solutions for
a large manufacturing company.
Work closely with Product Owners to align on business priorities, maintain a clear
and actionable backlog, and ensure stakeholder needs are met.
Facilitate core Agile ceremonies: Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Backlog
Refinement, Reviews, and Retrospectives.
Guide the team through data-focused sprints, including work on ingestion,
transformation, integration, and reporting.
Track progress, remove blockers, and drive continuous improvement in team
performance and delivery.
Collaborate with data engineers, analysts, architects, and business teams to
ensure high-quality, end-to-end solutions.
Promote Agile best practices across platforms like SAP ECC, IBP, HANA, BOBJ,
Databricks, and Tableau.
Monitor and share Agile metrics (e.g., velocity, burn-down) to keep teams and
stakeholders aligned.
Support team capacity planning, identify bottlenecks early, and help the team
stay focused and accountable.
Foster a culture of collaboration, adaptability, and frequent customer feedback to
ensure business value is delivered in every sprint.
Orient the team to focus on the objects that are to be built more so than the tasks
required to build them. The point is to build things, not complete tasks.
Guide the team to continuously break down efforts to smaller components.
Smaller workpieces result in better flow. Having 8 stories of ½ day each is better
than having 1 story of 4 days.
Guide the team to always provide clarity on the stories by using detailed
descriptions and explicit acceptance criteria.
Bring the team’s focus in the daily standup meetings to completing things instead
of working on things.
Must Have:
3-5 years of experience as Scrum Master with focus on SAP, HANA, Data &
Analytics
Solid understanding of standard scrum practices and “ceremonies”.

Excellent organizational, interpersonal, time-management, analytical and critical
thinking skills
Ability to track team velocity and help the team set sprint goals that are both

business needs.
Ability to work with people across the globe.
