Product Owner - Public Cloud Scalability Team

Our team of approximately 90 engineers is working in small scrum teams. Each team has end to end responsibility for a specific product or part of our architecture. We work on a remote-first basis, coming together in person at our Amsterdam headquarters twice a year.

Our organizational structure is flat, placing a high value on independence and entrepreneurship. The atmosphere is informal and relaxed, creating a highly motivating work environment in which you will work with some of the most inspiring colleagues in the industry.

What is the role about?

The Product Owner drives the vision and strategy for the Public Cloud Scalability team and turns that roadmap into concrete, deliverable work. You will partner with Product Management and the engineering teams to prioritize features, shape the backlog, and guide the team from concept to production. Your focus is on balancing new-feature development, customer-facing deliveries, and platform-maintenance while ensuring the underlying hardware is used efficiently.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and communicate the scalability roadmap together with Product Managers, Network and Infrastructure teams.

• Break large initiatives into Minimum Viable Products, launch them, and iterate based on feedback.

• Provide clear, motivating direction to the team; explain the what and why behind each priority.

• Align with cross-functional departments, track dependencies, and remove blockers.

• Balance new-feature work, customer-delivery commitments, and platform-maintenance tasks.

• Manage capacity on the public-cloud platform to maximize hardware utilization.

• Advise on platform growth strategies and help the team execute them.
