Role: Scrum Master

Job description

We’re looking for a Scrum Master to join our remote team and make a change in how people perceive dating, sexuality and relationships.

At Feeld we are creating a world where women can explore their desires without judgement and couples can design their relationships. We are building an inclusive, human-centred product and are looking for a Scrum Master to join our growing product development team.

As Scrum Master you will be responsible for ensuring we’re delivering improvements to our members to enable them to make meaningful connections. By staying on top of the delivery of work, you’ll help inspire our cross-functional teams to work smarter, not longer hours; tie tasks back to the context of our business goals and mission; and help maintain a work environment of learning and innovation.

Requirements

What you will do:

  • Work with our two cross-functional teams to ensure they’re supported – removing blockers, finding ways of improving the day-to-day, and making sure things move smoothly for the team members.
  • Focus on optimizing the delivery of the Feeld app – ensuring a consistent cadence of releases, each one improving the experience for our members.
  • Run our daily standup calls, as well as our Sprint Planning, Retrospective and Estimation calls.
  • Think of new ways of sharing the progress of the product development team across key stakeholders in the company.
  • Keep track of pieces of work, understand how we’re delivering, and where we can change to keep increasing velocity.
  • Become incredibly familiar with our app, and able to understand how work fits together in the context of Feeld.

About you:

  • You’re able to lead the product development team – happy to get involved, and steer people away from distractions and towards priorities.
  • You’re willing to serve the product development team – doing the unseen work to ensure they’re free to focus on their priorities.
  • You’re calm and level headed – you can keep your cool during an incident, and help coordinate a response, working with Support, Product and Engineering teams to ensure our response is as good as it can be.
  • You have experience acting as a remote Scrum Master to a product team, running meetings for a distributed team across different timezones.
  • Good familiarity with ticket management tools (Clubhouse, JIRA, Linear etc), and repository hosts (Github, GitBucket etc).
  • You’re able to influence without authority – use different points of view to find ways forward which are beneficial to the whole organisation.

Bonus points:

  • Familiar with AppStoreConnect and Google Play Store
  • 1+ year Slack experience
  • Familiar with Notion
  • Some knowledge on technical concepts such as APIs, SDKs and other common engineering terms which will come up day-to-day
  • You’re interested in getting your hands dirty and helping the engineers test their latest work

Benefits

About us:

Feeld is an independent, experimental and fully remote organisation reshaping the dialogue on dating and sexuality. The company was founded in 2014 and has evolved since to become the open, distributed structure it is now. We have a naturally agile and fluid culture. The whole team is fully remote, which means you work where and when helps you perform at your best. We regard autonomy highly and treat our organisation as a product – we iterate, improve and test things internally to see what works best for everyone.

Compensation & Perks:

** The salary for this role starts at £60,000 GBP. **

We’ve designed compensation and perks in a way that supports the Core Values of the company.

One of those Core Values is: Human.

This means: We are conscious of how our work and decisions impact other humans and the environment. We design our product and organisation with attention to and consideration for the wellbeing and happiness of our members and colleagues. We believe in technology and working environments that enable people to live a meaningful, fulfilled life.

Therefore, we offer our staff:

  • flexible working hours
  • unlimited paid time off
  • a fully remote working situation

Forget about gimmicks like companies giving their staff one week off because people were on the edge of burning out – Feeld’s way of working is designed to proactively prevent burnout and an “always on” culture.

Remote working works 95% of the year. However, we are in the business of facilitating human connection, so it makes sense that we’d also want to facilitate that with our staff. Pre-Covid, Feeld had annual in-person company retreats in destinations such as Gran Canaria, Vigo, Porto, and the English countryside. As soon as we can safely resume these, we will! Some of the perks of working at Feeld are:

  • Company retreats
  • Access to the Feeld Flat in Porto, Portugal
  • You are able to use your expense account to purchase access to co-working spaces

One of our Core Values is: Transparent.

This means: We strive for complete openness of information within the organisation and for enabling honesty on our platform. Internally, we keep decision-making transparent to keep each other accountable and make sure all voices are heard. That is why:

  • Everyone is given equity options
  • We have open compensation data – everyone’s salary and equity grants are public among the Feeld staff

One of our Core Values is: Fluid.

This means: We design and organise with fluidity in mind, avoiding overly prescriptive environments for our product, operations and growth. We encourage our members to freely explore their desires and design their relationships, and we make that possible by enabling each member of staff to work where and when helps them do their best work.

Ways Feeld supports team members being Fluid are:

  • £3k budget for computer and home office set-up
  • Expense account (£225 per month) to be used on co-working memberships, fitness, coffees, subscription to Headspace/Calm, etc.
  • Training budget
  • On-demand therapy sessions and mental health support via Spill

We thank all the candidates who have shown interest in our company, but only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
