About Infura

Infura is the leading infrastructure platform providing scalable and easy-to-use APIs and cloud solutions for blockchain and decentralized application developers. Infura currently offers APIs for Ethereum, IPFS, and other leading decentralized networks, allowing developers to immediately begin building instead of spending time on architecting and maintaining their own infrastructure.

Infura provides developers instant access to decentralized and blockchain networks without the need to sync or understand complicated peer to peer infrastructure. Similar to how one might access a cloud service to alleviate the friction of owning proprietary compute and storage, Infura lowers the barrier to entry for engineers to begin building.

We believe in a more equitable and decentralized future, and we know developers will be at the forefront of that progress. We want to empower developers to spend their time building, creating, and evolving by providing them with the best and easiest solution to their infrastructure needs. We follow these key success factors across all of our projects.

  • Project predictability: Using sprint backlogs and burndown charts to increase the visibility of work to aid effective planning.
  • Quality: Ensuring both development & end to end testing are integrated parts of our agile project execution.
  • Customer Satisfaction: Ensuring product managers are part of our end to end agile project execution advocating for our customers.

Some things to know about the Infura team, we are a remote first company, with team members all over the world. We strive to reduce meetings, respect work life balance, promote diversity, and generally be good people. We depend on each other not only to make an amazing product but to be a group that wants to succeed together.

What you’ll do

The Junior Scrum Master for Infura is a key member of the project management team.The Infura team is a fantastic collection of product managers, designers, developers and project managers. Everyone has some experience of agile, some more so than others. You will be coordinating project delivery with the Infura project management team helping to guide our project stakeholders through the agile development process. This includes proactively managing tickets daily and keeping our development ticket boards up to date. You will be central to ensuring our tickets have meaningful descriptions of the work in scope, accurate estimates, appropriate priority, are correctly linked to the associated EPIC and provide a clear definition of done.

Getting all the right stakeholders across the Infura team involved is super important. You will play a key role in helping to plan sprint ceremonies so that stakeholders are participating and informed. During sprint planning or backlog grooming you will be keeping a watchful eye on our boards and managing them in real time.

Infura is constantly looking at where we can make improvements. With that in mind it is necessary to understand how projects are doing and where we can do better. You will play your part in that by tracking & reporting on project team metrics leveraging JIRA or other tool capabilities. Our goal is to be able to truly visualise work, to see what’s in the backlog waiting, what is currently in progress, and what have we successfully delivered. This visibility will help the project management team plan more efficiently & support our team in managing their workload.

Would be great if you brought this to the role

  • Experience working with a software development team using agile methodologies.
  • You know Jira well and are comfortable setting up sprints, running reports, and creating queries.
  • Good communicator and can produce a status report project telling the story of our team’s metrics leveraging JIRA.
  • Big bonus points if you have any certification in Agile.

Don’t meet all the requirements? Don’t sweat it. We’re passionate about building a diverse team of humans and as such, if you think you’ve got what it takes for our remote-friendly, energetic start-up environment apply anyway. While we have a pretty good idea of what we need, we’re ready for you to challenge our thinking on who needs to be in this role. We are simply looking for amazing people who share in our vision for making great things with great people.
