Scrum Master

Role Overview:

We are seeking a Scrum Master with a strong mathematical and analytical foundation who

treats Agile as a designed system, not a set of rituals.

This role requires someone who can quantify execution, model uncertainty, and optimize

delivery, while maintaining discipline, clarity, and operational rigor across teams.

You will design and continuously refine Agile ceremonies using equations, metrics, and

feedback loops, ensuring consistent execution under pressure and predictable outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

1. Quantitative Agile Design

• Translate Agile workflows into formal models using mathematics and systems
• thinking.
• Formulate equations for:
• Sprint capacity and commitment accuracy
• Velocity stability and variance
• Lead time, cycle time, and throughput distributions
• WIP limits and bottleneck identification
• Apply concepts from probability, statistics, queuing theory, or control systems to
• improve delivery predictability.
• Convert Agile ceremonies into measurable, optimizable processes:
• Sprint Planning capacity optimization problem
• Daily Standups signal-to-noise maximization
• Retrospectives feedback convergence and variance reduction

2. Ceremony Ownership & Precision

• Run all Scrum ceremonies with clear intent, strict time-boxing, and measurable
• outcomes.
• Eliminate performative or redundant discussions.
• Ensure every ceremony results in decisions, actions, or corrections, not just
• alignment.
• Maintain and enforce working agreements consistently.

3. Execution Control & Delivery Assurance

• Act as the single point of accountability for sprint execution health.
• Detect delivery risks early using leading indicators, not intuition.
• Drive fast resolution of blockers through structured escalation.
• Protect team focus by preventing scope leakage and priority churn.

4. Team Discipline & Operating Standards

• Establish and reinforce habits of:
• Preparation and readiness
• Punctuality and focus
• Clear ownership and follow-through
• Balance psychological safety with high performance expectations.
• Coach teams to think in terms of constraints, trade-offs, and outcomes.

5. Continuous Improvement as a System

• Treat each sprint as an experiment with hypotheses, metrics, and results.
• Run data-driven retrospectives with explicit corrective actions.
• Track improvement trends over time and ensure changes are implementednot
• forgotten.
• Raise execution standards incrementally but consistently.

Required Qualifications:

• Strong background in Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, Economics, or Computer Science.
• Demonstrated ability to express complex processes using formulas, models, or quantitative frameworks.
• Proven experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Lead in execution-critical environments.
• Deep understanding of Agile frameworks and their real-world constraints.
• Comfortable working with metrics, dashboards, and analytical tools (Excel, SQL, Python,etc.)
