Junior Scrum Master

📍 Amritsar 🏷️ Software Development 💰 ₹40,500 / month

About the Role

Ranjit Avenue in Amritsar has a Junior Scrum Master opening, full time, on site, with a software team running Agile delivery for a growing product. No prior professional experience is required, though the team wants genuine familiarity with Scrum practices, not just the vocabulary from a certification course.

A Day in This Job

The work covers facilitating sprint ceremonies, working closely with product and engineering teams, and helping resolve blockers before they derail a sprint. A junior scrum master here shadows a senior facilitator at first, gradually taking over ceremony facilitation as comfort builds.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Facilitate sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives
  • Help the team identify and remove blockers
  • Support backlog grooming sessions
  • Track sprint progress and communicate status to stakeholders

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with proficiency in the relevant tools for this role, with hands-on exposure preferred but not mandatory for this entry-level seat.

Skills That Matter

  • Agile and Scrum practices
  • Sprint planning
  • Team facilitation
  • Conflict resolution

Good to Have

A Scrum certification, though not required, any experience facilitating group discussions in a prior role or academic setting, and genuine comfort naming a blocker out loud in front of the team rather than quietly hoping it resolves itself.

Why This Role

Amritsar's tech scene is smaller than the major metros, and this team's product moves fast enough that a scrum master's facilitation skills get real, regular exercise rather than becoming a formality. Naukri Mitra has listed a few roles from this employer, and junior scrum masters who've joined recently describe the shadowing period as genuinely useful, watching a senior facilitator navigate an actual disagreement between team members rather than only reading about conflict resolution theory.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a scenario round on handling a team conflict during a sprint and a discussion of your understanding of Agile principles. Candidates who describe a calm, structured approach to the scenario tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance for the employee
  • Paid time off
  • Provident fund contributions
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Amritsar

Location & Pay

This role is based at Ranjit Avenue, Amritsar, pin code 143001, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹40,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within four weeks.
