Full-Time Role Overview We are seeking a versatile BSA/Scrum Master to join our Platform Modernization team. You will play a dual role: as a BSA , you will dissect complex legacy system logic and translate it into modern, scalable requirements; as a Scrum Master , you will facilitate Agile ceremonies and remove technical blockers for a high-performing engineering team.

The ideal candidate understands that "modernization" isn't just a tech upgrade—it's a shift in mindset, architecture, and delivery speed. Key Responsibilities 1. Systems Analysis & Requirements (BSA)

Legacy Decomposition:

Analyze existing monolithic systems, databases, and business logic to document "as-is" states.

Modernization Mapping:

Map legacy functions to "to-be" cloud-native architectures (Microservices, APIs, Event-driven designs).

User Story Engineering:

Write high-quality User Stories with clear Acceptance Criteria (AC) that account for technical debt and platform scalability.

Data Migration Logic:

Collaborate with data engineers to define mapping rules and validation logic for moving data from legacy schemas to modern structures. 2. Agile Delivery & Coaching (Scrum Master)

Ceremony Facilitation:

Lead Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Reviews, and Retrospectives with a focus on continuous improvement.

Impediment Removal:

Proactively identify and clear "modernization-specific" blockers (e.g., environment access, API dependencies, security compliance hurdles).

Backlog Health:

Partner with Product Owners to prioritize technical debt alongside new feature development.

Metric Tracking:

Use JIRA/Azure DevOps to track Velocity, Burndown, and Cycle Time to predict delivery timelines accurately.

Technical Skills & Qualifications Modernization Expertise:

Experience with projects involving Cloud Migration (AWS/Azure/GCP), API First strategies, or Monolith-to-Microservices transitions.

Technical Literacy:

Ability to read SQL queries, understand API contracts (Swagger/OpenAPI), and discuss architectural diagrams with developers.

Documentation:

Proficiency in Confluence, Lucidchart, or Visio for process mapping and system flowcharts.

Agile Tools:

Expert-level knowledge of JIRA or Azure DevOps (ADO) .

Preferred Experience Years of Experience:

5+ years in a BSA or Scrum Master role within a technical environment.

Certifications:

CSM (Certified Scrum Master), PSM, or CSPO. Cloud certifications (AWS Cloud Practitioner) are a huge plus.

Industry Context:

Experience in highly regulated industries (Finance, Healthcare, Insurance) where modernization involves complex compliance requirements. Soft Skills The "Translator"

Ability:

Can explain a technical database constraint to a business stakeholder and a business rule to a developer with equal clarity.

Adaptability:

Comfortable with the ambiguity that often comes with discovering "hidden" logic in legacy systems.

Servant Leadership:

A focus on empowering the team rather than just managing a task list.
