• Run sprint ceremonies, release coordination, and cross‑team dependency management
• Mentor teams on Agile discipline and accountability

• Strong SDLC fluency across engineering environments
• CS or EE background preferred

What this is not

• A Product Owner or product strategy role – you're not setting the roadmap
