Introduction

Are you the Scrum Master who is eager to learn and apply agile principles to expand ASML’s fast growing business?

ASML brings together the most creative minds in science and technology to develop lithography machines that are key to producing faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient microchips. We design, develop, integrate, market and service these advanced machines, which enable our customers-the world’s leading chipmakers-to reduce the size and increase the functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics. Our headquarter is in Veldhoven, the Netherlands.

The  Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE), part of ASML Core IT Infrastructure Services, is an Agile Release Train (ART) that offers Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud to other Departments in the organization. About 50 other ASML teams make use of these cloud platforms in a DevOps way of working. This means they build, run, own (and fix) their own environment in the cloud. The role of the CCoE is not only to provide a stable, secure cloud platform, but also best practices and guidance, so the teams using cloud can fulfil their responsibility with regards to architecture, security, service management and cost management.

How is your team evolving, maturing? Do you have the correct skillsets in the team; is there balance? Do you need more architects, or more platform engineers? Do you have sufficient seniors in the team, or are you heavy on junior engineers? What is the direction for professional development in your teams? How is the mindset & culture? Does it still fit with the vision of the ART? You are key in shaping the way forward for your teams on all these aspects, in close collaboration with the RTE.

This means you will need strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills to be successful in this role. You will work towards meeting and exceeding expectations and you are flexible.
