Product Owner – ITSD/Platform & Software Engineering

Are you a connecting and technically skilled Product Owner who gets energy from building a scalable, secure, and future-proof platform? Do you have experience with software engineering teams and know how to prioritize correctly between innovation, reliability, and operational continuity? Then we are looking for you!
 

What you are going to do

As a Senior Product Owner (Product Owner 2, Hay Level 18), for the Platform & Software Engineering domain, you are the driving force behind the roadmap, prioritization, and realization of platform components and development paths. You work closely with our engineering teams (platform engineers, software developers), security experts, architects, and other domains to continuously deliver value. You manage the right balance between technological innovation, stability, and efficiency. You understand the underlying technology well enough to make decisions about infrastructure, cloud architecture, CI/CD, integration, and software quality — but you can also easily communicate with (international) stakeholders across departmental boundaries.

Your main responsibilities are:

• Developing and managing the product vision in collaboration with your manager
• Independently developing and managing a roadmap and backlog for the platform and software engineering domain in close contact with business teams to maximise value
• Determining together with engineers, architects, and stakeholders what will be built, why, and when
• Prioritizing work based on value, risks, dependencies, and technical feasibility
• Ensuring a streamlined development process within the team (Agile/Scrum)
• Actively contributing to initiatives regarding platform security, compliance, and developer productivity
• Together with the team identify bottlenecks in platform performance, technical debt, or operational risks and be on top of innovation – and manage them effectively
