Scrum Master with Healthcare experience

We are seeking an experienced Scrum Master to facilitate and guide an AI data engineering team building scalable data pipelines on Google Cloud Platform. This role requires a deep understanding of Agile methodologies combined with technical fluency in data engineering and ML operations. The ideal candidate will be adept at removing impediments, fostering collaboration, and enabling a high-performing team working on complex, technical initiatives.

What project we have for you

The team is building and evolving data and machine learning pipelines that power critical insights for the business. This environment moves quickly, with multiple streams of work flowing in from product, engineering, and analytics.

In this role, you’ll partner closely with the Product Owner, data engineers, ML engineers, and cross-functional technical teams. Each sprint involves shaping priorities, navigating dependencies, and ensuring the team has the clarity and support needed to deliver reliable, high-quality data solutions. You’ll play a central part in strengthening Agile practices, improving operational flow, and creating a space where the team can collaborate, innovate, and continuously improve.

This project blends structured Agile discipline with creative problem solving. It’s a setting where teamwork matters, process maturity is growing, and the work directly influences how fast the organization can turn data into meaningful outcomes.
