What are the responsibilities and job description for the Scrum Master position at Protenus?
There are so many opportunities in software development. Engineer, BA, Data, QA, Dev Manager. You may have done a couple or most of these throughout your career. Ahh, good times. For those of us who have been in it for longer than it takes for the shine to wear off know that you have to keep looking for "the thing" that you enjoy. The thing that keeps you in it. The thing that you would do even if for free. Well, not really, but you get the point. If your "thing" is rooted in orchestrating the process and influencing the team to maximize outcomes, please keep reading.
The Protenus Healthcare Compliance Analytics platform is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) that ingests robust, unique data feeds to provide visibility into potential patterns of suspicious behavior that may otherwise go unnoticed. Our AI and advanced analytics empower subject matter experts to mitigate and ultimately reduce organizational risk — whether it's an employee improperly accessing patient records, or a clinician diverting medications — in an efficient, accurate, and scalable manner. If the opportunity to thwart these bad actors doesn't excite you, maybe the opportunity to serve on a team filled with other engineers who do different work than you, and together, you will collaborate and influence the end result of this cutting-edge technology, will do the trick.
As an experienced Scrum Master, you know this role and do it well! We'll just say this. We are transforming the way we develop our healthcare analytics products. We want people who will bring their knowledge, skills, sense of humor (required!) and courage to the role as we work together in growing the company. You will play a key role in Protenus' maturing of agile processes to scale, in a way of working that is anchored in known best practices and standards (e.g. Scrum Guide and Essential SAFe). We are a company on the rise, our goals are pretty aspirational and we like the unconventional, so we hope we can pique your interest with the opportunity to bring your own style and creative problem solving to the Scrum process.

About Protenus
Our HQ is located in the Fells Point area of Baltimore, MD. We love our office and hope you will too, but we won't require you to work from there. We made the decision to be a "virtual first" organization in early 2021. Even after COVID is a thing of the past, we will remain virtual first. If you live in the area and would like to come in, great! If you are in town to meet with your team, even better! We welcome you (and dogs) anytime. We operate with "big person rules" and let you make the decision about what works best for you, your life and your family. Results > Location
