Job Description We're looking for a Product Owner to help shape the future of our mission-critical platform used by various public safety users in North America. In this role, you’ll serve as the voice of the customer to your assigned engineering teams—translating user needs into precise, technically grounded user stories and guiding execution from roadmap to release. This is not a passive backlog management role. We’re seeking someone who can dive deep with architects and developers, define the "how" as well as the "what", and own the outcomes of what gets built. You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Engineering, and UX to ensure each feature is designed for usability, built for reliability, and aligned to our product strategy. You’ll thrive here if you bring technical fluency, relentless prioritization, and a sharp eye for user impact. What You’ll Do - Own the team backlog—create, refine, and prioritize user stories, defects, and research 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 (DoD), 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. What Sets You Apart - You're fluent in the language of engineers—able to talk threads, APIs, or cloud deployments when needed. - You balance customer empathy with technical realism—never overpromising, always delivering. - You move fast, ask the right questions, and know when “done” is actually done. - You’re hungry to build something that matters. So are we. Qualifications : - Bachelor's degree - 3+ years in Product Ownership, Product Management, Engineering, or Technical Business Analysis. - Strong technical background—you don’t need to code, but you can diagram an architecture, spot integration risks, and talk through implementation choices with developers. - Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments, with tools like Jira, Aha!, and Azure DevOps. - Deep understanding of on-premise and/or cloud-based
