Job Description

About The Position

Freightos is the online marketplace for the trillion dollar freight industry. With a stellar investor portfolio that includes GE Ventures and Aleph, $50 million in funding, and a team with a track record of successful exits, the five year old company is transitioning from startup to rapid revenue growth.

Which is important, because freight matters.

90% of everything we eat, wear or use is shipped or flown from other countries by the global freight (cargo) industry. But freight sales technology is stuck in the '90s, without automation and pricing transparency. Our unique patent-pending algorithm and sophisticated cloud-based stack change that, automating freight pricing and routing. Which is why after less than five years, most of the world's biggest freight forwarders use Freightos technology.

We’re not the only ones excited about changing the world. You can read about Freightos in the BBC, TechCrunch, the Wall Street Journal and others.

We’re looking for an Agile Coach/Scrum Master to join our growing Barcelona R&D team. The perfect candidate will be one who can effectively drive our teams towards continuous improvement to unleash their full potential and contribute to make Freightos a reference in the high tech world with regards to agility, good engineering principles and best practices.

Come ready for a challenge and don’t be fooled by container ships; this is rocket-science technology.

You will be helping the teams that are building our flagship product, not only in Barcelona, but also in our other R&D sites. Our teams are self-managed, multi-functional with end to end responsibility: they design, implement, test, deploy and maintain the software they build, and take ownership of how they work. You will become a crucial piece in the teams, balancing mentoring and coaching as required and leveraging your experience in building products that delight our customers. From removing blockers for the teams, to helping them fail fast with minimum risk, you have the skills needed to bring a trillion dollar industry online.


Responsibilities:

  • Act as the agility advocate in multiple teams, mentoring and coaching them on agile principles and practices.
  • Drive continuous improvement in the teams. Establish the right mechanisms to keep the teams and their members in good health and bringing visibility on how the teams are doing.
  • Become a servant/leader for the teams. Assist the teams to remove any blockers in their way, but also coach them to become self sufficient.
  • Assist the teams in their ceremonies. Facilitate meetings as required, send minutes, document working agreements and learnings from retrospectives.
  • Help the teams to keep the backlog, the board and any other physical and virtual team tools in good shape.
  • Spread agility beyond the boundaries of the teams. Share success stories and learnings with other teams and promote agility in R&D and in the rest of the company.
  • Help improve intra and inter-team communication, favouring a culture of feedback.
  • Mentor other members of R&D into the art of agility, and help them to potentially become scrum masters/agile coaches too!
  • As any other member of the R&D organization, be ready to participate in activities out of your comfort zone when the needs require it.

Requirements

Qualifications:

  • Proven experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach in multiple software development teams.
  • Significant experience in good engineering principles and best practices.
  • Excellent communication, self-organization, time management and interpersonal skills.
  • Must be fluent in English with excellent reading, speaking and writing skills.


Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in coaching distributed and multi-cultural teams.
  • Experience in product companies.
  • Developer or Product Owner background.
  • Active in the local Agile Community.
