Job Description

We are seeking a hands‑on Scrum Master to support a fast‑paced delivery team within a Property & Casualty (P&C) Insurance environment. This role goes beyond facilitation — the ideal candidate is technically fluent and able to actively engage with engineering teams working in AWS-based, API‑driven architectures.

This position requires a strong on‑site presence, working 4 days per week from the client’s Cockeysville, MD office, and close collaboration with product owners, engineers, and stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Serve as a hands‑on Scrum Master, facilitating Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.

Partner closely with engineering teams to remove blockers and drive delivery across multiple workstreams.

Actively engage with technical discussions related to AWS services, API development, and Node.js‑based applications.

Support backlog refinement and ensure user stories are well‑defined, estimated, and ready for sprint execution.

Track and report sprint metrics, velocity, risks, and dependencies to leadership.

Promote Agile best practices while adapting frameworks to fit the team and business needs.

Collaborate cross‑functionally with product, QA, DevOps, and business stakeholders.

Support delivery within a regulated insurance environment, aligning with governance and compliance requirements.

Required Qualifications

Proven experience as a Scrum Master in Agile/Scrum environments.

Hands‑on technical understanding of AWS (core services and cloud‑based delivery models), API‑driven architectures, and Node.js development concepts.

Experience working closely with software engineering teams.

Strong communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.

Ability and willingness to work onsite 4 days per week in Cockeysville, MD.

Preferred Qualifications

Prior experience in Property & Casualty (P&C) Insurance.

Background supporting digital transformation or modernization initiatives.

Scrum Master certification (CSM, PSM, or equivalent).

Experience working in hybrid or enterprise Agile environments.

Compensation

$50–$60/hour (W2)

Rate dependent on experience and technical depth.
