The Scrum Master II coordinates the work of an Agile development team and oversees the software development lifecycle. This role involves planning and facilitating scrum activities such as sprint planning, daily stand-ups, demos, board reviews, and retrospectives.

Additionally, they identify and resolve impediments that may slow development or prevent the team from meeting established goals or milestones.

As a Scrum Master, you will work with engineering teams building software for ASI's autonomous vehicles. You will keep the team's work broken down, sized, and moving, and when a sprint starts to slip, you will find out why and get it in front of the people who can fix it.
