Scrum Master 100% Remote
Must be a Product/Scrum Master who has a little bit of AI/ML
Job Description
NOTE: We are trying to fill 3 additional PO slots. For one of these Product Owner roles, the client would like someone with AI/ML experience. Per the client:
"They don't necessarily need to have been a PO. Any sort of team lead, project lead, or project management experience would be good. Or Even just technical work in data analytics, AI, Data Science, etc. and interested in transitioning to a PO role. Experience with Agile and PO role is ideal, of course, but I think being able to understand the tasking so he or she can understand and communicate the priorities is more important."
