Scrum Master - Data & MuleSoft Integration

Location: Bangalore, India

Employment Type: Full-Time

Company: Bridgestone

Role Overview

Bridgestone Cortex APIs are a global Marketing capability that provides trusted, scalable access

to core business data across Bridgestone. Supporting teams in Europe, North America, and

Latin America, Cortex APIs enable access to product, location, inventory, fitment, pricing, and

services data that powers digital experiences, commercial operations, and customer-focused

solutions.

As Bridgestone evolves its data strategy for the age of AI, Cortex APIs will play a critical role in

making high-quality, connected data accessible across the enterprise. This team contributes to

strategically important initiatives that strengthen data-driven decision-making, accelerate

innovation, and support Bridgestone's ambition to become the world's number-one tire

manufacturer.

Bridgestone is seeking an experienced, proactive Scrum Master to support Agile delivery for

Data and MuleSoft integration teams. This role will enable teams to deliver high-quality

The successful candidate will be more than a facilitator of Scrum ceremonies. They will actively

identify delivery risks, remove or escalate impediments, manage cross-team dependencies,

coach Agile ways of working, and help the team continuously improve its ability to deliver value.
