About this role

Scrum Master (Cloud)

Location: 4 days per week On-Site (1 day telework)

Clearance: Active Top Secret required (Secret considered with ability to obtain Top Secret)

Position Overview

Improvix Technologies is seeking a Scrum Master to support a federal cloud modernization program at a large agency client. In this role, you will serve as the agile backbone for a cloud engineering team focused on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) delivery, facilitating the full Scrum framework and keeping sprint execution on track across a fast-moving, technically oriented team.

This is a dedicated Scrum Master position — you will own the agile process. You will work directly alongside a Product Owner and technical lead, interface periodically with federal stakeholders, and serve as the team's go-to resource for sprint status, task tracking, and ceremony cadence. The right person brings solid Scrum fundamentals, an adaptable mindset, and the communication skills to hold their own in a room with senior engineers and agency customers alike.

Key Responsibilities

  • Facilitate all Scrum ceremonies including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog grooming, sprint reviews, and retrospectives
  • Drive sprint demos at the close of each sprint, managing the facilitation cadence
  • Partner with the Product Owner to refine the backlog, write and break down user stories and subtasks, and maintain sprint board accuracy in Jira
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for sprint status visibility — pulling reports, tracking task ownership, and keeping the team and leadership informed
  • Maintain documentation and reference materials in SharePoint; coordinate with the BA on documentation deliverables as needed
  • Monitor and manage ServiceNow tickets as integrated with the Jira workflow, providing timely status updates to stakeholders
  • Support change management activities at a high level, coordinating with technical team members on pipeline and security-related stories
  • Act as an agile culture carrier for the team — setting the standard for how work gets tracked, communicated, and completed

Required Qualifications

  • 5-8 years of experience as a Scrum Master in an IT or software delivery environment
  • Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) or equivalent Scrum/agile certification
  • Demonstrated experience facilitating all Scrum ceremonies and managing sprint execution end-to-end
  • Proficiency with Jira (Atlassian) for story writing, subtask management, and sprint tracking
  • Working knowledge of at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) — specific platform expertise not required, but cloud familiarity is
  • High-level understanding of DevSecOps concepts and delivery pipelines, sufficient to contextualize team stories and facilitate grooming conversations
