• Travel & Face-to-Face Collaboration : 

– Given the distributed nature of the team, the Scrum Master must be available to travel every three months for 2-3 days to participate in in-person team meetings and planning sessions.

• Key Skills & Experience : 

– 5-7+ years of experience as a Scrum Master in software development teams, ideally in high-traffic digital platforms.
