Technical Scrum Master

Role Overview

Ahura Workforce Solutions is seeking a Technical Scrum Master (Remote, United States) to facilitate a high-visibility workgroup focused on acquiring and modeling external clinical data and ensuring interoperability across standards.

This is a technical facilitation role—requiring comfort with FHIR structures, CDA-to-FHIR mapping, and data architecture/interoperability nuances.

Responsibilities

• Technical facilitation & working sessions
  • Lead technical working sessions on FHIR structure design and CDA-to-FHIR mapping strategies.
  • Bridge communication between architects and stakeholders, resolving technical blockers in real time.
  • Guide discussions on resource-level decomposition while keeping interpretation aligned.
• Delivery management & dependency tracking
  • Drive end-to-end delivery of the data modeling framework and alignment with the Serve Layer.
  • Manage backlog dependencies, coordinating between external data acquisition and internal consumption (flattened FHIR datasets).
  • Prioritize reusable patterns in sprints to accelerate future use cases.
• Agile governance & reporting
  • Maintain a high-integrity backlog in Jira, ensuring deliverables (mapping insights, schema designs, curation strategies) are well-defined and estimated.
  • Provide robust progress reporting and velocity tracking using Jira dashboards to senior leadership.
  • Manage the transition from Design to Implementation/Delivery (T&M or contract-based).

Qualifications / Requirements

• Technical literacy
  • Comfortable discussing FHIR resources, JSON structures, and data normalization (not necessarily a developer).
  • Healthcare/interoperability experience preferred.
• Agile expertise
  • Certified Scrum Master (CSM) or equivalent experience.
  • Strong mastery of Jira for managing complex, non-linear design work.
• Delivery-focused
  • Track record of taking projects from abstract design to technical delivery.
• Dependency specialist
  • Ability to identify and mitigate risks in data-heavy environments where CommonWell source availability can impact delivery.

Key Deliverables

• Sprint cadence management: run Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Reviews, and Retrospectives.
• Jira roadmap & backlog: groomed, transparent backlog with mapped dependencies across the FHIR/CDA workstream.
• Executive status reports: weekly burn-down charts and milestone tracking focused on the data modeling framework.
• Delivery transition plan: clear roadmap for the post-design implementation phase.
