Technical Product Owner | DistantJob - Remote Recruitment Agency

Technical Product Owner

“What we're seeing is a transition, the beginning of an S curve of growth for the data center industry. Unlike the internet bubble around 2000 – which involved ideas that had yet to generate any revenue – the cloud, with upward of $4 trillion in market cap, is a real business with real opportunities. This isn't a bubble.” – Dave Crowley, Microsoft

With a statement like this, who wouldn't want to ride the wave of datacenter expansion? And we have just the right opportunity for you – don't blink and don't think twice before it disappears! Oh right, we should do the responsible thing and give you details first. Alright, here we go:

Our client provides enterprise-class managed data center services, and they're looking for an experienced Technical Product Owner for their team. They have around 70 datacenters servicing 29 different markets, and we can't disclose their clients – but think about any major industry player from hyperscalers, banks, healthcare and social media platforms, and they're likely in their CRM. It's safe to say it's a very impactful project that you'll have the chance to work on.

You'll be working with the software engineering and product teams, as well as diverse internal stakeholders and end users. Your main priority will be to scope out the work for critical solutions, analyzing its impact and how to account for it.

  • Ensure that the teams maintain a focus on quality and adhere to continuous delivery practices.
  • Establish effective communication with counterparts in the development group and other significant stakeholders.
