About Kuda

Kuda, which means ‘love’ in Shona, is more than a fintech - it’s a movement to make financial services accessible, affordable, and truly rewarding for every African.

Backed by over $100 million from some of the world’s most respected investors, we’re building a smarter alternative to traditional banking - offering seamless money transfers, business banking, and instant access to credit, all through your device.

At Kuda, we don’t just build products - we build people. We share the love in how we collaborate, carry everyone along as we grow, break boundaries to challenge what’s possible, and show up every day committed to doing better.

If you’re driven by purpose, excited by impact, and ready to help redefine the future of finance in Africa, you’ll feel right at home here.

Role Overview

As a Scrum Master at Kuda, you will play a pivotal role in driving delivery velocity, operational excellence, and agile maturity across our engineering organization. Operating within a high-growth scale-up environment, you will be embedded with large cross-functional teams of 15 to 20 engineers, product managers, and designers.

Your mission is to champion agile principles, eliminate delivery friction, and foster a high-trust, safe environment where teams consistently produce high-quality financial software. You will serve as the bridge between high-level delivery milestones and day-to-day execution, ensuring squads stay aligned with organizational objectives while navigating the dynamic complexities of the FinTech space.

Key Responsibilities

1. Agile Facilitation & Team Coaching

  • Facilitate core Scrum ceremonies—including Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Backlog Refinement, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives—for larger cross-functional teams.
  • Coach squad members and product owners on agile best practices, backlog prioritization, user story splitting, and effective capacity estimation.
  • Cultivate a team culture grounded in psychological safety, active accountability, continuous improvement, and collaboration.

2. Operational & Delivery Excellence

  • Proactively identify and resolve delivery blockers, dependencies, and cross-team bottlenecks to maintain high execution velocity.
  • Partner with engineering leads to optimize squad workflows and reduce delivery friction across sprint cycles.
  • Utilize delivery metrics (such as velocity, burn-down trends, lead time, cycle time, and DORA metrics) to drive data-informed continuous improvement.

3. Stakeholder Alignment & Scale-Up Execution

  • Work closely with Product Managers and Engineering Leadership to ensure sprint goals directly map to high-level product roadmaps.
  • Maintain transparent, real-time visibility into sprint progress, risks, and dependencies for key business stakeholders.
  • Guide teams through the rapid pace and shifting priorities characteristic of a fast-growing FinTech scale-up.

4. Compliance & Quality Governance

  • Support squads in maintaining technical excellence and security-first engineering practices without sacrificing delivery momentum.
  • Ensure agile processes account for necessary regulatory, compliance, and quality standard checks typical of high-throughput financial systems.

Requirements

  • Proven Agile Expertise: 5+ years of hands-on experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach in dynamic technology environments.
  • Scale-Up & FinTech Background: Demonstrable track record of delivering value within high-growth scale-up companies, preferably in the FinTech sector.
  • Large Tribe Leadership: Deep experience facilitating and guiding multi-disciplinary squads (Engineers, QA, Designers, Product Managers).

Hard Skills

  • Deep expertise in Scrum, Kanban, and modern scaling frameworks.
  • Advanced proficiency with Jira, Confluence, and delivery tracking tools.
  • Strong grasp of software delivery metrics (e.g., flow metrics, DORA metrics) to measure squad health and output.
  • Practical understanding of modern software delivery practices (e.g., CI/CD, GitOps, automated testing).

Soft Skills

  • Empathetic Leadership: A dedication to empowering teams, removing obstacles, and nurturing an inclusive environment.
  • Clear Communication: Ability to articulate project status, risks, and process optimizations clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
  • Conflict Resolution & Adaptability: Skillful at navigating team dynamics, resolving friction, and pivoting gracefully in a fast-paced environment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
