Product Owner

Your responsibilities

• Own and prioritize the product backlog, turning business objectives into well-defined, actionable requirements.
• Analyze a multi-microservice environment independently: map how services interact, identify gaps, surface hidden dependencies, and plan work so that features are sequenced in the right order.
• Break down large initiatives into deliverable increments, accounting for cross-service dependencies and technical constraints.
• Partner closely with engineering, drawing on your own technical understanding to have credible, precise conversations about trade-offs, feasibility, and risk.
• Define acceptance criteria and validate that delivered work meets both the business intent and the technical requirements.
• Communicate clearly and consistently with technical and non-technical stakeholders, keeping everyone aligned on scope, priorities, and progress.
• Use data and quantitative reasoning to inform prioritization, measure outcomes, and support decisions.
