About the role

Concept Plus is seeking a Scrum Master to support CI/CD DevSecOps delivery for a client program.

The Scrum Master supports one or more Scrum teams while coordinating with other Scrum teams and a Kanban-based Operations & Maintenance (O&M) workstream to ensure work progresses efficiently through the DevSecOps pipeline. This role focuses on maintaining team alignment, removing impediments, and ensuring that work remains visible, well-defined, and aligned with program priorities and mission objectives.

• Enable flow across the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring work progresses efficiently from development through testing, security validation, and deployment
• Track and manage cross-team dependencies, ensuring alignment across multiple capability teams

• Partner with Product Owners, developers, testers, analysts, and the Government PMO to maintain transparency, support prioritization, and align sprint outcomes with ARNG enterprise mission needs.
• Coordinate lifecycle activities to ensure requirements traceability, documentation accuracy, configuration management discipline, and integration with enterprise architecture and engineering standards.
• Promote and enable automation, testing practices, CI/CD tooling, secure coding standards, and shift left testing within teams.
• Facilitate collaboration among Government stakeholders, functional proponents, mission partners, and engineering teams to enable early feedback loops and continuous improvement.
