Responsibilities
Run the Architecture Team’s Agile System (Flow + Cadence)
Facilitate the team’s operating cadence: standups, planning, refinement, reviews/demos, retros, and syncs with stakeholders
Implement flow practices that work for architecture work (mix of intake, discovery, design review, enablement, and “as-needed” consults)
Manage and continuously improve the team’s Kanban/Scrum hybrid approach (WIP limits, classes of service, SLA expectations)
Run the architecture intake process (from epics/features/requests) with clear entry criteria
Partner with Product/Portfolio/Solution leadership to prioritize architecture work based on value, risk, dependencies, and delivery timing
Ensure architecture work is visible, sized appropriately, and sequenced to support PI outcomes and product roadmaps
Drive adoption of “shift-left” behaviors: early engagement, lightweight design reviews, and reusable patterns
Help architects package outcomes as consumable assets: reference architectures, golden paths, templates, checklists, guardrails, ADRs
Coordinate dependencies across ARTs, platform teams, security, data, and operations
Facilitate working sessions that resolve integration decisions and architecture direction quickly
Build strong partnerships with RTEs, Product Managers, System Teams, and Engineering leaders
Create and maintain dashboards that show architecture throughput and impact, such as:
Lead time from intake → decision/asset delivered
% of epics/features receiving architecture engagement
Bottleneck analysis and aging work
Rework avoided/defects reduced (where measurable)
Adoption of standards/patterns/golden paths
Prepare executive-ready summaries and highlight risks, tradeoffs, and constraints
Coach architects (and stakeholders) on lean-agile behaviors and pragmatic planning
Drive continuous improvement experiments and document working agreements
Protect focus time for deep architecture work while maintaining responsiveness
Qualification
Required
4+ years of experience as a Scrum Master/Agile Team Coach (or equivalent)
Demonstrated experience supporting platform, architecture, engineering enablement, or enterprise enablement teams (not only product feature teams)
Strong proficiency with Kanban flow metrics and WIP management (lead time, cycle time, throughput, aging WIP)
Experience working with senior technical stakeholders and translating ambiguity into executable work
Strong facilitation skills: conflict navigation, decision-making sessions, and stakeholder alignment
Experience with agile tooling (Azure DevOps, Jira, etc.) and building operational dashboards
Preferred
SAFe experience in a scaled environment (ARTs, PI planning, dependencies); SAFe certs are a plus (SSM, SASM)
Background working with architecture artifacts (ADRs, reference architectures, standards, threat modeling checkpoints, NFRs)
Experience supporting governance-lite architecture processes (fast decisions, clear guardrails, minimal bureaucracy)
Familiarity with cloud-native delivery, DevSecOps, platform engineering, and event-driven/API patterns

Health and flexible spending accounts
