The Opportunity: CACI is seeking a Senior Technical Scrum Master/Agile Coach to join a fast-paced team supporting the CURFEW contract. The work spans operations and maintenance (O&M) for the production system, designing and delivering new features, and improving stability while reducing a significant amount of technical debt. The program is mature in its operations but relatively new to agile, so the team is still working through lessons learned and iterating on how it works. In this role, you'll facilitate Scrum events, coach teams and leaders on agile practices, and remove the impediments that slow delivery, balancing urgent operational needs against planned feature work.
