Technical Product Owner

We’re looking for a detail-oriented, delivery-focused Product Owner to drive execution across our transactional product domain, where customers browse, redeem, purchase, and complete critical transaction journeys. In this role, you will own the backlog for one or more squads, turning roadmap priorities into clear, actionable, sprint-ready work that enables engineering teams to deliver with speed and confidence.

You’ll serve as the day-to-day decision-maker for scope, story clarity, and acceptance criteria-partnering closely with engineering, QA, design, and business stakeholders to keep delivery moving, reduce ambiguity, and ensure high-quality releases. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in agile environments and enjoys bringing structure, precision, and momentum to complex product delivery.

Responsibilities

• Own and actively manage the product backlog for one or more squads, ensuring stories are clear, prioritized, and aligned to roadmap objectives.
• Write detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, business rules, and edge cases that minimize ambiguity and support efficient engineering execution.
• Partner with Product Managers and Technical Product Managers to prioritize sprint and release scope across new capabilities, defects, enhancements, and technical debt.
• Lead backlog grooming, sprint planning, story refinement, and readiness discussions to maintain a healthy pipeline of well-defined work.
• Act as the primary point of contact for engineering questions during sprint execution, making timely decisions on scope, tradeoffs, and requirement clarification.
• Validate delivered functionality against acceptance criteria by reviewing builds and testing end-to-end flows such as checkout, redemption, payments, and order status.
• Manage defect triage by documenting issues clearly, assessing impact and severity, prioritizing fixes, and tracking resolution through production release.
• Break down roadmap initiatives into epics, features, and small, shippable user stories that can be delivered incrementally and tested effectively.
• Coordinate user acceptance testing with business stakeholders, gather feedback, and secure sign-off prior to launch for business-critical functionality.
• Support release readiness by confirming documentation, release notes, rollout plans, dependencies, and feature flags are in place before deployment.
• Monitor post-release performance, including adoption, defects, and support trends, and use insights to improve backlog quality and future delivery.
• Facilitate strong communication across engineering, QA, design, and business teams to ensure alignment and continuity from planning through release.
• Champion delivery best practices such as Definition of Ready, Definition of Done, traceable requirements, fast feedback loops, and disciplined defect prioritization., For more information regarding your EEO rights as an applicant, please visit the following websites:
