Careers

Wink, based in Dallas, Texas, is on a mission to eliminate identity theft and payments fraud on the internet while enhancing user convenience and speed for e-commerce transactions.

Wink’s patent pending platform simplifies and streamlines payments acceptance stack for e-commerce while adding a unique state of the art biometric driven multi-factor authentication solution, thereby eliminating both friction and fraud.

What are we looking for? Scrum Master

We are looking for a Scrum Master to coordinate and coach our software development team. You will serve as the go-to person for applying scrum to produce high-quality work. Scrum Master duties include managing timelines, resolving problems and coaching team members on Agile methodologies. Ultimately, you’ll help create self-organizing teams that are flexible and fully productive during sprints.

As the Scrum Master, you will partner with product owner and product manager of both aspects of the Wink platform (Wink Biometric Authentication and Wink Payments Orchestration).

• Most App Developers are looking to adopt a “passwordless” secure authentication methodology for their consumers to login and use their services. While other products like Login by Apple/Facebook/Google help in this, these solutions are not truly passwordless. Wink Login will be industry’s first truly passwordless login product where a user’s face is their username and their voice alongside a secure device fingerprint is their password.

• Once a user’s Wink login is established, it can be tied to user’s payment accounts (credit cards, bank accounts, crypto wallets etc.). This would then allow the user to simply checkout from an e-commerce transaction by simply authenticating via their face and voice. Wink Payments platform will be industry’s first payments platform allowing merchants to deploy a “Checkout by Camera” solution in their e-commerce websites.

As a Scrum Master, you will need to be able to think fast to help solve problems. Communication skills are a plus, as you will be communicating with the development and scrum teams and product owner. Leadership skills are a must as well.

Responsibilities for Scrum Master

• Manage each project’s scope and timeline
• Coordinate sprints, retrospective meetings and daily stand-ups
• Coach team members in Agile frameworks
• Facilitate internal communication and effective collaboration
• Be the point of contact for external communications (e.g. from customers or stakeholders)
• Work with product owners to handle backlogs and new requests
• Resolve conflicts and remove obstacles that occur
• Help teams implement changes effectively
• Ensure deliverables are up to quality standards at the end of each sprint
• Guide development teams to higher scrum maturity
• Help build a productive environment where team members ‘own’ the product and enjoy working on it

Qualifications for Scrum Master:

• Experience in a scrum master role
• Familiarity with software development
• Excellent knowledge of Scrum techniques and artifacts (such as definition of done, user stories, automated testing, backlog refinement)
• Good knowledge of other Agile frameworks (Crystal, XP etc.)
• Excellent communication and servant leadership skills
• Problem-solving and conflict-resolution ability
• Outstanding organizational skills
• Degree in Computer Science, Business or similar field
• Scrum master certification is a plus

Experience and Knowledge needed:

• Identity and Authentication Market – Deep understanding of Digital Identity and Authentication space
• Preferably knowledge of Industry standards such as FIDO, OpenID, OAUTH
• Experience with building and taking to market a SaaS based Enterprise product, preferably for companies like Okta, ForgeRock, LoginRadius, Gemalto (Thales), G&D, Sagem, Jumio, OnFido, Socure, etc.
• Experience with Payments ecosystem a desirable plus but not a must-have
