Senior Platform Technical Product Owner

Drive Platform Strategy and Technical Excellence

We are looking for a Senior Platform Technical Product Owner to join our organization. This is a high-visibility, business-critical role responsible for shaping and delivering the platform capabilities that power multiple software applications and teams across the business.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical depth with product ownership discipline, someone who can converse fluently with engineers about architecture and trade-offs, while also owning the tactical roadmap, backlog, and stakeholder relationships that make a platform successful.

You will work across multiple software applications and engineering teams, acting as the connectivity between business needs, architecture, and execution. You will be a key partner to the Head of Software Platform in defining platform strategy and ensuring the platform serves as a genuine enabler for the rest of the organization.

What You'll Bring

• This position is not eligible for employer-sponsored work authorization or visa sponsorship (including initial, transfer, or extension), and candidates must be authorized to work in the United States at the time of application and remain authorized for the duration of employment without the need for sponsorship.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in product management/product ownership roles, with significant experience in technical or platform products (not purely customer-facing feature teams).
• Demonstrated experience owning products that span multiple applications, services, or systems. You understand integration complexity, not just single-app feature delivery.
• Strong technical fluency. Comfortable reading architecture diagrams, understanding APIs/microservices, discussing data models, and engaging credibly with engineers on technical trade-offs. (Does not need to be a hands-on coder, but must have real technical grounding.)
• Proven experience working in Agile/Scrum environments as a Product Owner (certification a plus: CSPO, SAFe POPM, or equivalent).
• Strong experience managing and prioritizing a backlog with competing stakeholder demands, at senior/enterprise scale.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, able to translate between engineering and business language fluidly.
• Experience defining and tracking product/platform KPIs and communicating outcomes to leadership.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with platform engineering concepts: internal developer platforms, shared services, API gateways, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Familiarity with enterprise integration patterns (event-driven architecture, message queues, REST/GraphQL APIs, MCP).
• Experience in a role that required coordinating across 3+ engineering teams or business units simultaneously.
• Background in a regulated, complex, or large-scale enterprise environment.
• Experience with tools such as Jira, Confluence and Miro.
• Experience working with or adopting AI engineering practices, such as AI coding assistants (e.g., Kiro, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot), agentic development workflows, or spec-driven/AI-assisted delivery processes.
• Understanding of how AI/ML capabilities can be applied within a software platform (e.g., intelligent automation, developer tooling, copilots for internal teams), and how to evaluate their product value.
• Familiarity with prompt engineering, LLM-based tooling, or MCP (Model @context Protocol)-style integrations is a plus, even if not hands-on.
• Prior hands-on technical experience (developer, QA engineer, DevOps, or solutions architect background) is a strong plus.
