Actively identify and remove impediments (organizational, technical, relational) that are blocking the team's progress.
Work in close partnership with the Product Owner to ensure the clarity, prioritization, and health of the product backlog.

**Our client operates in Canada. The company takes all reasonable steps to limit the number of positions in Quebec that require knowledge of a language other than French, and only requires it when necessary and its existing bilingual employees are unable to perform these duties.

Assets: Technical knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins), APIs (SOAP/REST), or GitHub.
