The Senior Technical Product Owner is a senior team member responsible for translating business product strategy into executable technical deliverables and ensuring development teams deliver maximum business value. Working with the business Product Manager who owns overall product strategy, the Senior TPO manages complex product backlogs, drives tactical execution, and mentors junior TPOs. Holds acceptance authority for completed work and creates precise, AI-ready requirements using Given-When-Then (Gherkin) format. Models AI-augmented engineering excellence — integrating AI capabilities where appropriate, evaluating outputs rigorously, and shaping team practices for prompt design, evaluation, and safety.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
AI-Augmented Engineering Excellence

- Model AI-augmented engineering excellence — design solutions that integrate AI capabilities (LLMs, RAG, agents) where appropriate.

- Demonstrate active AI fluency — use AI assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, or equivalent) as a daily co-engineer for code generation, test creation, documentation, and learning.

- Write AI-ready requirements (Given-When-Then/Gherkin) that enable AI-assisted development tools to generate accurate, testable code.

- Evaluate AI outputs rigorously and shape team practices for prompt design, evaluation, and safety.

- Stay current with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, and equivalents) and evangelize best practices across the team.

Story Creation & Requirements Engineering

- Author comprehensive user stories using Given-When-Then format with complete behavioral context (Given = initial state/preconditions, When = actions/triggers, Then = expected outcomes).

- Define explicit acceptance criteria covering happy paths, edge cases, error conditions, and complex integration scenarios.

- Include technical constraints, validation rules, business logic, performance requirements, security considerations, and compliance standards.

- Provide concrete examples with sample data, API specifications, and reference implementations.

- Document dependencies, integration points, and system interactions clearly for both human developers and AI-assisted tools.

- Collaborate with technical product managers, architects, and technical leads on architectural context and design patterns.

- Handle complex, enterprise-level requirements involving multiple systems and cross-functional dependencies.

Story Acceptance & Quality Leadership

- Review and accept completed stories, validating functionality meets all acceptance criteria and enterprise quality standards.

- Test delivered functionality against each Given-When-Then scenario across multiple integration points.

- Verify solutions handle all documented scenarios including edge cases, security requirements, and performance benchmarks.

- Exercise final acceptance authority, ensuring deliverables are production-ready before release.

- Coordinate with QA teams on acceptance criteri
