Senior Scrum Master - AI/ML & Software Delivery

COLSA is seeking a Scrum Master to support NASA’s Consolidated Applications and Platform Services (NCAPS) contract, specifically supporting NASA’s Aerospace Capabilities Portfolio Office by managing Agile delivery across fast\-moving software, data, and machine\-learning development efforts. ***This is a fully remote position open to candidates residing in the United States, excluding the following states:*** *AR, CT, DE, HI, IA, KS, MT, NE, NJ, NY, RI, SD, VT, WV, and WY.* **Responsibilities:** * Facilitate agile delivery end to end: sprint planning, daily stand\-ups, reviews, retrospectives, and backlog refinement, keeping each ceremony focused and time\-boxed. * Work with project leads to translate strategy, priorities, and team resources into executable sprint and release plans, and keep day\-to\-day execution aligned to those priorities. * Remove impediments, coordinate cross\-team and external dependencies, and protect the team’s focus so it can deliver consistently. * Produce clear delivery products and overviews (roadmaps, prioritization and trade\-off views, delivery and status reporting) that let leadership make informed trade decisions on prioritization and investment. * Use delivery data to drive efficiency: track metrics (velocity, throughput, burn\-down, cycle time, defect rate, and delivery\-performance metrics), find where the team loses time or quality, and act on it to measurably improve how the team performs. * Establish the delivery and quality standards the team works to, document them, and hold the team accountable to them. * Adapt agile practice to an AI\-accelerated pace: streamline planning and coordination so process keeps up with faster development cycles rather than slowing them down. * Manage the backlog with product owners and project leads, ensuring upcoming work is refined, estimated, and aligned to stakeholder needs. * Coach and push the team: raise the team’s agile discipline, hold people to commitments and standards, and foster a collaborative, high\-performing delivery environment.
