How you'll help us Keep Climbing (overview & key responsibilities)

The Predictive Technology Engineering (PTE) group at Delta seeks an Agile Scrum Master (ASM) to join the software development and data engineering teams within the Engineering Analytics team. As an ASM, you would drive value by helping the development teams define work, prioritize work, and focus on delivery. You will serve as both a coach and an advisor for the teams demonstrating how to leverage Agile frameworks most effectively and, specifically, to increase speed to market, eliminate waste, and ultimately delight our business partners and customers. The broader PTE team employs data scientists, data engineers, optimization engineers, and analysts that are focused on advancing the decision-making ability of Delta’s Technical Operations through simulation, prediction, and analysis.

The ASM plays a pivotal role guiding the Team to be more self-organizing and empowered. One of the key responsibilities of an ASM to the team is to remove the impediments that can hinder progress. The right candidate will build strong relationships with other teams and stakeholders, understand the products, support work definition, teach the teams, and effectively network their way to success. In addition, they will develop and collect meaningful metrics that reflect the teams’ progress and maturity.
