Job Description

Technical Product Owner

As the Technical Product Owner, you are responsible for day-to-day delivery execution. This role is squarely focused on turning business needs into clear, actionable engineering work and ensuring that work ships predictably and at quality. You are the primary owner of tickets, requirements, sprint flow, and delivery coordination—not long-range roadmap ownership.

You act as the connective tissue between stakeholders and engineering, ensuring the team always knows what to build, why it matters, and when it is done.

• Maintain visibility into PDLC readiness, dependencies, and upcoming work

Qualifications

• Experience in agile delivery management and/or technical product ownership
• Proven ability to run sprints and drive execution in fast-paced environments
• Strong competency writing clear, buildable, testable user stories

• Detail-oriented with a focus on throughput, clarity, and shipped outcomes
• Hands-on, execution-driven mindset with engineering-first thinking

• Unlimited PTO that supports work-life balance
• Stock option incentive plan
• Company-sponsored 401k
