Scrum Master

Antwerp – Hybrid

Yields is a fast-growing international tech company helping organizations govern the algorithms
and AI systems at the heart of modern decision-making, from financial risk models to machine
learning applications. Our award-winning SaaS platform supports the full lifecycle: from model
development and validation to documentation and continuous risk monitoring. Built for regulated
industries, Yields combines automation, transparency, and auditability in one modular, scalable
solution. Whether for traditional model risk management or modern AI governance, we help
teams reduce risk, accelerate workflows, and stay compliant with evolving regulations such as
the EU AI Act.

Trusted by leading firms worldwide and backed by top-tier investors including Volta Ventures,
Pamica NV, and G+D Ventures, Yields is setting the standard for responsible and future-ready
model and AI oversight.

As a Scrum Master at Yields, you will play a key role in enabling our engineering teams to
deliver high-quality, secure, and scalable features across our SaaS platform. You will guide one
or more cross-functional teams—consisting of software engineers, QA devops, designers, and
product owners/managers—in applying agile principles effectively.

You remove impediments, foster collaboration, and help teams embrace continuous
improvement while working with modern engineering practices and cloud-native technologies
such as React, .NET, SQL, Docker, and Kubernetes.

This is a collaborative role at the intersection of agile delivery, product development, and
modern software engineering.
