The primary responsibility is serving as the Scrum Master and Agile delivery lead for a cross-functional team. The secondary responsibility is contributing hands-on Python development for automation, APIs, integrations, data-processing utilities, testing, and selected technical backlog items based on sprint priorities and available capacity.\nThe successful candidate will facilitate Agile ceremonies, remove delivery impediments, strengthen team execution, coordinate dependencies, and foster continuous improvement across teams building trusted, secure, and scalable AI-enabled information systems. The candidate will also apply practical Python development skills to support delivery when additional technical capacity is needed, without compromising Scrum Master responsibilities, team coaching, or Agile leadership.\nYou will work closely with Product Owners, business stakeholders, Release Train Engineers, architects, software engineers, data scientists, testers, security teams, and operations teams to plan, coordinate, and deliver AI solutions that improve operational workflows, decision-making, and mission outcomes. The role requires strong Scrum Master leadership, experience with SAFe Agile delivery, an understanding of modern software engineering practices, and the ability to contribute maintainable Python code within an enterprise delivery environment.\nThis position is ideal for a technically capable servant leader who can enable a high-performing Agile team, communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and provide focused Python development support for well-defined backlog items.\n\nRole Responsibility Mode l\nPrimary Role: Technical Scrum Master and Agile Delivery Lead\nThe primary focus of the position is Scrum Master leadership and Agile delivery. The individual is accountable for team facilitation, coaching, delivery coordination, impediment removal, continuous improvement, and support for successful sprint and Program Increment execution.\nSecondary Role: Part-Time Python Developer\nThe secondary focus is hands-on Python development performed according to sprint priorities, team capacity, and technical need. Development assignments may include automation, APIs, integrations, data-processing utilities, testing tools, prototypes, and other clearly defined technical backlog items. The individual is not expected to perform the workload of a full-time Python developer in addition to full-time Scrum Master responsibilities.\nWhat you will do\nServe as the Technical Scrum Master and Agile Delivery Lead\nServe as the Scrum Master for an Agile team delivering AI-enabled information systems in a SAFe Agile environment.\nFacilitate daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and other team synchronization activities.\nSupport Program Increment Planning, iteration execution, dependency coordination, risk management, and alignment with broader program objectives.\nPartner with Product Owners, Release Train Engineers, technical leads, and stakeholders to promote transparency, delivery discipline, and predictable outcomes.\nHelp maintain a healthy, prioritized, and sprint-ready backlog by facilitating effective collaboration among product, business, and technical stakeholders.\nEnsure Agile practices are applied consistently and pragmatically in alignment with SAFe principles and organizational delivery standards.\nProtect sufficient capacity for Scrum Master responsibilities while transparently planning any part-time Python development commitments.\nEnable Delivery of AI-Enabled Information Systems\nSupport teams delivering AI-enabled capabilities such as document understanding, semantic search, summarization, recommendations, intelligent automation, conversational experiences, predictive analytics, and decision-support tools.\nHelp the team manage AI-specific delivery considerations, including experimentation, iterative model improvement, data dependencies, integration readiness, model and prompt evaluation, and validation of AI-generated outputs.\nCoordinate across product, engineering, data science, testing, security, governance, and operations teams to help ensure AI capabilities are practical, usable, secure, supportable, and ready for release.\nPromote iterative delivery approaches that balance delivery speed, technical feasibility, quality, trust, governance, security, and mission value.\nHelp translate complex technical work into clear plans, risks, dependencies, outcomes, and decisions for business and program stakeholders.\nRemove Impediments and Improve Team Performance\nProactively identify, track, escalate, and help resolve impediments affecting delivery, quality, velocity, or team effectiveness.\nCoach team members on Agile practices, collaboration, self-organization, estimation, work management, accountability, and continuous improvement.\nFoster an environment of focus, transparency, inclusion, ownership, and continuous learning.\nUse Agile metrics and team insights to identify improvement opportunities and support more effective sprint and Program Increment execution.\nHelp the team improve delivery flow, reduce bottlenecks, manage technical and delivery risks, and strengthen cross-functional coordination.\nFacilitate retrospectives that produce specific, achievable, and measurable improvement actions.\nDrive Cross-Team Coordination and Program Execution\nCoordinate dependencies, risks, constraints, decisions, and integration points across teams and stakeholders.\nWork with Product Owners and technical leads to clarify priorities, maintain sprint readiness, and establish achievable delivery commitments.\nFacilitate communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders to maintain alignment on scope, progress, risks, dependencies, and decisions.\nMaintain visibility into team progress, delivery health, impediments, technical challenges, and upcoming milestones.\nContribute to release readiness and support the smooth transition of completed capabilities into testing, deployment, operations, and sustainment.\nContribute Part-Time Python Development\nContribute hands-on Python development for clearly defined technical backlog items after Scrum Master and Agile delivery responsibilities are appropriately planned and protected.\nDevelop and maintain Python-based automation scripts, REST APIs, system integrations, data-processing utilities, testing tools, prototypes, and internal delivery utilities.\nWrite clean, modular, reusable, documented, testable, and secure Python code in collaboration with software engineers, data scientists, and solution architects.\nDevelop or support lightweight backend services and integrations using appropriate Python frameworks and libraries.\nCreate unit and integration tests, troubleshoot defects, review logs, and support validation of Python components.\nParticipate in Git-based source-control practices, pull requests, peer reviews, automated testing, CI/CD activities, defect resolution, and technical documentation.\nWork within established architecture, engineering, security, quality, and coding standards.\nCommunicate development progress, risks, dependencies, and capacity constraints transparently during sprint execution.\nAvoid becoming the sole owner or single point of failure for business-critical Python components.\nCoordinate with the Product Owner and technical lead when Scrum Master duties or unplanned impediments affect development capacity or commitments.\nSupport Quality, Governance, and Responsible Delivery\nEncourage Agile delivery practices that support quality, traceability, security, compliance, and operational readiness.\nHelp incorporate architecture, governance, cybersecurity, testing, documentation, and release requirements into backlog planning and execution.\nSupport delivery practices appropriate for systems processing PII, PHI, CUI, or other sensitive information.\nPromote responsible delivery of AI-enabled capabilities, including human-in-the-loop review, transparency, auditability, output validation, and appropriate governance controls.\nEnsure part-time development contributions follow the same engineering, testing, security, and documentation standards required of the broader development team.\nChampion Agile Maturity and Continuous Improvement\nCoach team members and stakeholders on SAFe Agile values, Scrum practices, and effective delivery behaviors.\nHelp strengthen Agile maturity by sharing good practices, delivery insights, technical understanding, and lessons learned.\nEncourage collaboration, trust, adaptability, and evidence-based decision-making in response to evolving mission and business needs.\nIdentify opportunities to use automation and responsible AI-assisted tools to reduce administrative effort and improve delivery visibility without replacing human judgment or accountability.
