(Remote) Scrum Master

A division of Harris; Cayenta is seeking an experienced Scrum Master to serve as a servant leader and coach for our Agile development teams.

You will work closely with Product Owners, developers, and stakeholders to ensure alignment, transparency, and sustainable delivery.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about Agile principles and thrives on helping others succeed.

The ideal candidate brings strong facilitation expertise, emotional intelligence, and a relentless drive to eliminate obstacles — empowering self-organizing teams to deliver high-quality products iteratively and predictably.
