- Facilitate healthy team dynamics and psychological safety
- Collaborate with other Scrum Masters to drive consistency and best practices across the organization
- Actively contribute to scaling initiatives where applicable
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE & SKILLS
- Minimum 5+ years of dedicated Scrum Master experience (not combined with PM duties)
- Demonstrated success coaching teams from low to high agile maturity
- Strong understanding of Scrum, Kanban, Lean, and Agile principles
- Proven ability to influence without authority and challenge the status quo
- Experience addressing team and organizational impediments, not just sprint-level issues
- Strong coaching, facilitation, and conflict resolution skills

- Experience coaching squads within complex, enterprise environments
- Agile coaching or Scrum Master certifications (CSM, PSM, SAFe SM, etc.)
WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT

- Not a delivery tracker or status reporter
- Not limited to facilitating Scrum ceremonies
COMPENSATION, BENEFITS AND DURATION
Minimum Compensation: USD 40,000
Maximum Compensation: USD 140,000

This position is available for independent contractors.
No applications will be considered if received more than 120 days after the date of this post.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Scrum Master
Frame your Agile credentials for U.S. employers
Your CSM or SAFe certifications carry weight, but U.S. hiring managers also want to see your degree field documented. Gather your Australian transcript and a credential equivalency statement showing your qualification maps to a U.S. bachelor's degree before you start applying.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data for companies that have filed LCAs for Scrum Master or Agile Coach roles. A prior LCA filing signals the employer already understands the E-3 process and won't stall your offer over paperwork uncertainty.
Use Migrate Mate to handle your LCA and visa paperwork
Once you have an offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to manage the LCA submission, I-129 preparation, and consulate appointment documentation so your start date doesn't slip while your employer figures out the filing process.
Clarify specialty occupation status with your offer letter
Scrum Masters in companies where the role is described as purely coordinative, rather than technically specialized, can face consular scrutiny. Ask your employer to specify the degree requirement and technical scope of the role explicitly in the offer letter before you attend your visa interview.
Address contractor arrangements before your interview
Many Scrum Master roles are filled through consulting firms or staffing agencies acting as the employer of record. USCIS requires the LCA to name the actual petitioning employer, so confirm whether the agency or the end client will sponsor your E-3 before the offer is finalized.
Understand the prevailing wage tier for your metro area
DOL assigns prevailing wages by job zone and metropolitan area. Scrum Master roles typically fall in wage levels two or three depending on responsibilities. Confirm the offered salary meets or exceeds the certified LCA wage for your specific work location, not just the national average.

Find Scrum Master JobsScrum Master E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Scrum Master jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for E-3 visa sponsorship roles in the United States. You can filter Scrum Master and Agile roles by employers who have E-3 or LCA filing history, which removes the guesswork of approaching companies that have never sponsored an Australian hire before.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Scrum Master role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as computer science, information systems, or business information technology. Roles where any bachelor's degree is accepted regardless of field can draw scrutiny at the consulate. Your offer letter should state the specific degree requirement to support the specialty occupation determination.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Scrum Master roles?
The E-3 has no lottery and no annual cap, so there's no random selection process standing between you and your start date. H-1B registrations are capped at 85,000 per year and entered into a lottery, which means qualified Scrum Masters can be rejected purely by chance. Australians who are eligible for the E-3 have no reason to pursue the H-1B for the same role.
Can I switch Scrum Master jobs while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but your E-3 status is tied to your petitioning employer. If you change companies, your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp if you travel internationally. You can begin working for the new employer once the LCA is certified and a new visa is issued, so plan your transition timing carefully.
