Scrum Master

The client is midway through migrating a 15-year-old monolith to a microservices architecture using a strangler fig approach, supported by an active AWS partnership. Engineering is organized into three delivery pods plus dedicated data engineering and marketing technology teams, together supporting four customer-facing surfaces: a provider portal, a pharmacy portal, a patient account portal and a mobile app. The existing Technical Project Manager is spread across 28 concurrent Jira projects, which leaves no capacity for day-to-day Agile facilitation and backlog hygiene. This role closes that gap.
