WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

As a Technical Product Owner, you’ll be the engine that keeps delivery moving. This role is hands-on and execution-focused—you own the backlog, keep engineering unblocked, and make sure product commitments turn into shipped software.

Overview of responsibilities:

• Own day-to-day delivery for assigned product areas

• Manage and prioritize the product backlog to keep work sprint-ready

• Write clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical requirements

• Partner closely with engineering to ensure sprint commitments are realistic and met

• Identify, escalate, and resolve delivery risks, dependencies, and blockers early

• Participate actively in sprint planning, refinement, reviews, and retrospectives

• Communicate timelines, scope changes, and delivery health to stakeholders

• Translate business needs into technically sound, implementation-ready work

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 3+ years as a Product Owner, Technical Product Owner, or similar delivery-focused role

• Strong Agile/Scrum experience with proven backlog ownership

• Hands-on experience with cloud-native and API-driven products

• Comfortable working deeply with engineering teams (not just roadmaps)

• Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and follow-through

• Able to work with minimal supervision and navigate strong personalities

• Experience in cybersecurity, PKI, or identity-related products is a strong plus

• Jira and Confluence experience preferred
