About the role

Our success is built on three pillars: Innovation, Integrity, and Impact.
Our journey is marked by groundbreaking achievements and a commitment to pushing boundaries.
The work is complex, the stakes are real, and ambiguity is constant.

Own and manage a prioritized delivery backlog for customer implementation and platform configuration work.
Drive clarity before development starts so engineering and QA are not forced to interpret intent mid-sprint.
Support sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and Agile ceremonies with strong preparation and clear decision-making.
This is a strong fit for someone who likes building order inside chaos; it is not a fit for someone who needs mature systems, clean handoffs, slow decision cycles, or someone else to make the hard calls.
Within 30 days, you own the backlog, understand current priorities, identify unclear or not-ready work, and begin tightening the intake-to-sprint process.
Within 90 days, teams report that they know what they are building before they start, with fewer quality issues tied to misunderstood requirements.

You will make sure engineering teams know exactly what they are building, why it matters, what success looks like, and what tradeoffs must be made before work enters a sprint.
For over 20 years, Agate Software has been at the forefront of transformative innovation in the grant management industry.
If you're ready to apply your expertise in a dynamic, growth-oriented, mission-driven environment, read on to see how this position aligns with your skills and interests!

Preferred experience in Professional Services, customer-specific software implementations, enterprise platform delivery, public sector/SLED, high-compliance environments, Agile Scrum, and Azure DevOps.

Your decisions will directly affect sprint quality, engineering focus, QA effectiveness, customer outcomes, and project health.
Project health improves because scope, priority, and readiness are actively owned before work moves downstream.

Partner with customers, delivery leaders, developers, QA analysts, configuration specialists, and internal stakeholders to resolve gaps and align priorities.
At Agate Software you'll be part of a team that is dedicated to making a difference through cutting-edge technology and unwavering dedication to our impactful work.
