We're looking for a Technical Product Owner (f/m/d) who enjoys being right in the middle of Product, Business and Engineering.

You'll be part of the engineering team and share responsibility for the applications we build. You'll turn business requirements into clear, technically sound and testable work. You'll coordinate what needs to happen, challenge things when they don't make sense and make sure that "done" actually means done.

Activities

You will:

• Bridge Business & Engineering: Translate business requirements into clear technical requirements, user stories, tickets and acceptance criteria that developers can actually work with.
• Understand the System: Build a solid understanding of how UI, frontend, backend, APIs and databases interact across our full-stack applications.
• Test & Investigate: Perform acceptance and smoke testing, work with APIs and validate data to systematically investigate whether something works as intended.
• Drive Delivery: Organise and orchestrate work within the team, keep dependencies and open questions moving, and take features from idea to production.
• Own Quality: Help decide whether a feature is ready to go live and develop a strong sense for quality, performance, monitoring and potential risks.

Requirements

Your Skills

Core Competencies:

• Technical Product Thinking: You can break down complex business requirements into clear, structured and testable work and know how to define meaningful acceptance criteria.
• Hands-on Technical Know-how: You have practical experience with APIs, testing and data validation and understand how frontend, backend and databases work together.
• Software Development Basics: You understand the fundamentals of Git and modern development workflows, including branches, commits, pull requests and merges.
• Structured & Precise: You work carefully, pay attention to detail and create tickets and documentation that are clear, concise and easy to understand.
• Curious & Collaborative: You ask questions, absorb new technical concepts quickly and communicate openly and directly with developers and business stakeholders at eye level.

Bonus Skills (The Power-Ups):

• Experience with tools such as Postman, Swagger/OpenAPI, Jira or comparable platforms.
• Background in QA, software testing, technical business analysis or software development.
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus or similar.
• Experience working with cloud environments such as AWS.
• Experience working in an agile software development environment.

Team

You’ll join our UI Engineering team and take ownership of full-stack projects that power our adtech ecosystem.
