Your Contribution to Our Growth

We’re looking for a Scrum Master to join Aquanow’s growing team and help drive the delivery of innovative products in the digital asset space. In this high-impact role, you’ll be the facilitator for a high-performing, cross-functional engineering team, ensuring Agile practices are understood, adopted, and continuously improved.

As the Scrum Master, you’ll focus on enabling the team to deliver high-quality software by coaching them on Agile principles, promoting collaboration, and removing blockers. You’ll work closely with Product Owners and stakeholders to maintain a clear backlog, align priorities, and help deliver scalable solutions that power Aquanow’s growth.

What You’ll Do

• Plan, organize, and facilitate all Scrum ceremonies, including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, sprint reviews, and retrospectives
• Ensure teams are working collaboratively, maintaining focus on delivering high-quality software
• Coach team members and stakeholders on Agile principles, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, accountability, and self-organization
• Identify and remove impediments that block the team’s progress while shielding the team from external distractions
• Support the Product Owner with backlog management, ensuring clarity, prioritization, and alignment with business objectives
• Encourage adaptive planning and iterative delivery, promoting flexibility in project goals
• Track team performance metrics to identify trends, drive improvements, and increase delivery efficiency
• Act as a servant leader and facilitator, enabling clear communication and alignment across teams and stakeholders
• Foster a culture of continuous delivery, ensuring teams balance speed with quality and compliance in a regulated financial environment
• Promote process improvement initiatives and evolve Agile practices to meet the growing needs of Aquanow

We’d Love to See

• Proven experience as a Scrum Master or in a similar role within an Agile environment
• Experience in high-growth fintech, crypto, or financial services where ambiguity and rapid scaling are the norm
• Deep understanding of Scrum theory, principles, and practices
• Background working with cross-functional software development teams
• A track record of scaling Agile across multiple teams or programs, not just a single squad
• Excellent facilitation, communication, and conflict-resolution skills
• Experience supporting Product Owners and backlog refinement
• Hands-on experience with Agile tools such as JIRA, Trello, or similar
• Scrum Master certification (CSM, PSM, or equivalent)
• Strong servant-leadership mindset: able to influence without authority and drive cultural change
• Comfort working with distributed, cross-functional teams across multiple geographies
• A proactive mindset with the ability to foster collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement
