Agile Delivery (Scrum)

• Work within an Agile development framework and actively participate in sprint ceremonies (planning, refinement, reviews, retrospectives, standups as needed)
• Help ensure delivery remains aligned to business outcomes by supporting prioritization and maintaining high‑quality requirements entering the sprint

Solution Design Support & Validation

• Collaborate with engineers and product partners to translate business requirements into functional specifications, with attention to on‑chain/off‑chain integrations and compliance controls where applicable
