Scrum Master / DevOps Team Coach (m/f/d) with Azure Focus
- Vienna
- Full Time
As a Scrum Master / DevOps Team Coach (m/f/x), you support product teams as a facilitator in achieving their delivery goals. You work closely with other Scrum Masters, Flow Managers, and Release Train Engineers in a "crew" to promote continuous improvement. This ensures long-term business agility at ÖBB.
Specifically, you will take on this role for APT – the team that provides and further develops the ÖBB’s Azure cloud landscape.
Your environment: the Azure Product Team (APT)
APT ensures that Azure is reliably available as a cloud platform for ÖBB – from infrastructure to solutions developed together with customers.
It is precisely at this stage that we are looking for reinforcement: a coaching personality who helps the team shape this next stage of development – close enough to DevOps, cloud operations, and software quality in terms of content to challenge experienced engineers on equal footing in dialogue, and methodologically strong enough to facilitate the process effectively.
Your job, you...
- convey knowledge of agile methods (Scrum, Kanban, etc.), practices (Lean, WIP limits, etc.), and values (respect, openness, etc.) within the team, ensuring the spread and establishment of an agile mindset.
- work with team members to increase efficiency and productivity through agile methods and support product teams and/or individual team members in optimizing their collaboration and communication.
- generate valuable insights regarding the team’s efficiency and progress by measuring relevant metrics (throughput, cycle time, flow efficiency) as well as DevOps-typical flow and operational KPIs (e.g., deployment frequency, lead time, mean time to recovery) and derive improvement measures from them.
- support product teams and/or individual team members by reflecting and reviewing observed behavior.
- facilitate and challenge the team on questions of technical collaboration – such as code review culture, a shared Definition of Done including operational readiness ("you build it, you run it"), the interaction between development, operations, and customer projects, as well as the meaningful use of automation and AI-powered tools in day-to-day development and operations.
- promote a lived DevOps and ownership culture – shared operational responsibility, a blame-free error culture, end-to-end thinking across team and role boundaries, and actively encourage the team to leverage automation and AI potential in daily work.
- are capable of guiding change processes and handling resistance and conflicts.
- independently plan and lead ceremonies, workshops, trainings, or presentations to convey agile values and working methods, and help establish a "Scrum Master/Team Coach Crew" as a knowledge community within ÖBB.
Your profile, you...
- hold a university degree or equivalent professional experience.
- have several years of experience in a relevant agile role such as Team Coach, Scrum Master, or Flow Manager, etc., and ideally have already gained practical experience with SAFe.
- have obtained certification as a Scrum Master, Scrum Coach, Flow Manager, or Team Coach or similar – additional relevant training is a plus, as is demonstrable experience with agile methods (Scrum, Kanban, Design Thinking, etc.) and tools (Miro, Mural, Atlassian Suite, etc.).
- bring a solid understanding of DevOps practices, cloud infrastructure, and automation (e.g., Azure, CI/CD, automation, AI-powered development and operational tools) – enough to discuss on equal footing with a technically skilled team; hands-on development experience is not a must but is a plus.
- are interested in software quality topics such as code reviews, test automation, or Definition of Done and ideally have experience from teams with a focus on platform, infrastructure, or cloud operations.
- bring the necessary resilience, humor, and perseverance required for an (agile) transformation in a corporate environment and embody the agile mindset (being agile > doing agile), placing people at the center of your work.
- are characterized by strong communication skills and systemic/holistic thinking and are interested in proactively and independently furthering your development.
- have a structured working style and are accustomed to independent and self-responsible work, and possess very good German and English skills.
