Product Owner

Product Owner for a mission-critical public safety platform. Own the team backlog—create, refine, and prioritize user stories, defects, and spikes for one or more engineering teams. Translate customer needs into technical outcomes—work with architects to define solution approaches and articulate the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of each story to developers and testers. Partner with Product Managers to define roadmap priorities and decompose epics into actionable work. Lead backlog grooming and sprint planning with Engineering and QA to ensure readiness and velocity. Serve as the go-to expert on your features—owning scope, sequencing, and delivery status across multiple active efforts. Validate delivery—accept stories only when they meet acceptance criteria and Definition of Done, and support team demos and release readiness. Collaborate cross-functionally—work with UX, Support, and Sales Engineering to ensure delivery is intuitive, supportable, and customer-ready. Understand technical tradeoffs—collaborate with engineers on sequencing, infrastructure, technical debt, and system performance impacts. Champion stability and availability in everything you build—this is mission-critical software used in life-or-death scenarios. You’ll thrive if you’re fluent in the language of engineers, balance customer empathy with technical realism, move fast, ask the right questions, and deliver meaningful outcomes.
