Senior Technical Scrum Master – AI Platforms & Knowledge Systems

Location: Multiple U.S. Locations / Hybrid

Compensation: $150,000 – $160,000 base

Overview

We are seeking a highly technical Scrum Master / Agile Delivery Lead to support large-scale AI platform and knowledge management engineering initiatives within a rapidly growing enterprise technology organization.

This role supports engineering teams responsible for the data, workflows, and knowledge systems powering next-generation AI conversational experiences, intelligent virtual agents, and automated customer interaction platforms.

The environment is highly technical, fast-moving, and execution-focused, with multiple Scrum teams and hundreds of engineers contributing across AI platform, data engineering, backend services, integrations, and workflow orchestration initiatives.

This is not a traditional Scrum Master role focused solely on ceremonies and process administration. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background and the ability to operate credibly with engineering teams, challenge weak assumptions, drive accountability, and help teams execute effectively at scale.

What You’ll Work On

  • AI-powered conversational platforms and workflow systems
  • Enterprise knowledge management and AI data infrastructure
  • Data pipelines and services supporting AI response generation
  • Backend systems feeding large-scale AI and automation platforms
  • Cross-functional coordination across multiple Agile engineering teams
  • Delivery execution within a complex, rapidly evolving AI ecosystem

Responsibilities

  • Lead Agile delivery efforts across multiple highly technical engineering teams
  • Coordinate execution across several concurrent Scrum teams and shared platform initiatives
  • Partner closely with engineering leadership, architects, product teams, and technical stakeholders
  • Drive sprint execution, dependency management, and delivery predictability
  • Identify risks, blockers, and execution gaps early and escalate appropriately
  • Help teams maintain focus, accountability, and operational efficiency
  • Facilitate planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives, and delivery reviews
  • Track delivery metrics, team velocity, and execution health across programs
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives within a large-scale engineering organization
  • Help technical teams navigate ambiguity and shifting priorities in a rapidly growing AI environment

Required Qualifications

  • Previous hands-on background in software engineering, development, or technical systems engineering
  • Strong understanding of modern software development practices and Agile delivery
  • Experience working with highly technical engineering teams in enterprise or SaaS environments
  • Ability to understand and challenge technical discussions, timelines, and execution risks
  • Proven experience supporting multiple Scrum teams or large engineering programs simultaneously
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Comfortable operating in high-growth, fast-changing technical environments

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting AI, machine learning, knowledge systems, conversational AI, or data platform initiatives
  • Familiarity with cloud-native systems, APIs, distributed architectures, and data engineering concepts
  • Experience working with backend platform, infrastructure, or DevOps-oriented teams
  • Experience using Jira, Azure DevOps, or related Agile tooling
  • Scrum certifications are welcome but technical credibility is significantly more important

Ideal Candidate

  • Engineers respect your technical understanding and communication style
  • You can distinguish between legitimate engineering complexity and avoidable execution issues
  • You drive accountability without creating unnecessary process overhead
  • You thrive in large, highly technical engineering organizations
  • You are comfortable coordinating across many teams, stakeholders, and shifting priorities
  • You can help engineering teams execute effectively in complex AI and data-driven environments
