Scrum Master of the universe
September 28, 2011 9:01 PM
We at the Interaction Consortium (IxC) in Sydney are seeking a groovy Scrum Master who will provide effective collaboration, facilitation, and leadership support to the team as we deliver high-quality websites that our clients, and their customers, love.
You don’t need to have been a Scrum Master before, but you need to have taken a similar role in teams you’ve worked in (e.g. development manager, team lead) and be familiar with agile work practices. You’ll need to be an exceptional communicator with the ability to lead the team to self-organisation, remove obstructions and strive for continual improvement. This is also a role where you can set the example and ensure that agile best practice is being upheld.
Ideally, you will be available to work for approximately 15 hours spread throughout the working week in the Scrum Master role, with availability at a regular time each day. If you have other skills that you can bring to the team (e.g. design/UX, Django development, HTML, CSS, Javascript), then there may be an opportunity to turn this into a full-time role. We are open to both part-time employment and contractor arrangements.
About the company:
We offer a geek-friendly work environment full of smart people producing awesome code. We try our best to use the best frameworks (e.g. Django on the back-end; jQuery/backbone.js on the front-end) and development practices (agile, open-source, caffeine), and we are not afraid of a bit of experimentation and interdisciplinary work – the more skills and interests you have, the better. We do everything possible to make work fun and interesting and, most of all, balanced with more important things, like having a life.
payscale: AU$70k+ pro rata, depending on skills and experience
job type: part-time
