Responsibilities
Own and maintain the engineering backlog (epics, capabilities, enablers, and stories), ensuring items are well-defined, prioritized, estimated, and ready for execution by Scrum/Kanban teams.
Translate product requirements, architectural intent, and non-functional requirements into technically sound backlog items with clear acceptance criteria.
Ensure traceability across requirements, design, implementation, and test where required (e.g., regulated or integration-heavy contexts).
Work with Product Managers to agree on product goals, scope, and priorities, while representing engineering feasibility, sequencing, and dependencies.
Collaborate with Architects and Technical Leads to understand and evolve the technical vision, system architecture, and cross-component dependencies.
Support 2–3 cross-functional software teams by providing continuous clarification, fast feedback, on technical scope and trade-offs.
Ensure that quality, security, performance, and operability concerns are addressed early ('shift-left') and explicitly captured in backlog items.
Manage technical risks, dependencies, and integration constraints, escalating and aligning across teams and stakeholders when required.
Support planning and synchronization across distributed, multi-campus teams, contributing to shared milestones, demos, and integration checkpoints.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
3+ years of experience as a Technical Product Owner, Product Owner, System Analyst, or similar role in software-intensive products or platforms.

Proven ability to work with architects, senior engineers, and cross-functional teams to shape technically coherent solutions.
Experience writing clear, testable backlog items with meaningful acceptance criteria and non-functional requirements.
Fluent in English (multi-campus / distributed environment).
