Scrum Master – Financial Services / Technology / 50k to 85k

I am currently helping our Client seeking a Scrum Master to join the team in Hong Kong.

Role

• To help in implementing and continuously refining the organization-wide Agile Framework, standards, and controls, especially for Security project delivery and DevSecOps pipeline maturity.
• To assist in the design and optimization of tools and technology for implementing Agile and DevSecOps practices, including workflow management using tools like Jira or Azure DevOps, automated vulnerability tracking boards, release gates, and infrastructure-as-code deployment metrics.
• To support the adoption of shift-left security practices, such as establishing SecOps workflows, integrating SAST/DAST automation into sprint cycles, and driving organization-wide metadata tagging for security compliance to enhance system auditability and risk readiness.
• To facilitate technical refinement and alignment for application optimization initiatives, ensuring a balance between technical debt, cloud cost efficiency, code performance, and architectural scalability within sprint planning.
• To monitor delivery performance, DevSecOps metrics (e.g., deployment frequency, lead time for changes, mean time to recover, defect density), and team maturity levels, and recommend continuous improvements for engineering efficiency.

Requirements

• 4–8 years of experience in Agile delivery and Scrum mastery with a strong technical background, preferably within Technology, Banking, or Financial Services.
• Solid experience in Agile frameworks and secure delivery disciplines, including Scrum, Kanban, scaled Agile (SAFe), backlog refinement, release management, and DevSecOps engineering quality standards is expected.
• Hands-on experience with Agile management and CI/CD tools such as Jira, Confluence, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, SonarQube is required, along with the ability to leverage them to operationalize Secure Delivery Frameworks.
• Understanding of agile foundations required for DevSecOps maturity and application optimization, such as automated testing frameworks, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), microservices architecture, and cloud monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus) is essential.
• Experience or exposure to driving security compliance within product lifecycles (e.g., OWASP Top 10 mitigation, vulnerability lifecycle management) is a plus.
• A solid grounding in technology concepts, along with a good understanding of the financial industry's security regulations, is preferred.
• Hands-on technical capabilities including proficiency in Jira Query Language (JQL) or DevOps analytics for security defect tracking, sprint velocity profiling, and bottleneck analysis, as well as working knowledge of Python or Bash for workflow automation, reporting dashboards, API-driven security metric collection, and automated backlog parsing, are a plus.
• Experience in developing automation scripts or workflow rules (e.g., Jira Automation, CI/CD hooks) to enforce compliance controls, auto-tag security issues, or streamline release approvals, is valued.
• Familiarity with API integration and RESTful API calls for system connectivity, such as linking security scanning tools with Jira or messaging platforms (Slack/Teams), is also a plus.
