Relevant Experience: 6+ years

Location: Bangalore/Coimbatore

Work mode: WFO

Availability: Immediate

Role Summary:

The Sr. Product Owner is responsible for ensuring engineering execution readiness by translating high-level product requirements into clear, build-ready user stories and technical tasks. This position involves owning backlog decomposition, documentation, and sprint preparedness while collaborating closely with Engineering, QA, DevOps, and a US-based Customer Product Owner to deliver predictable, high-quality releases.

Key Responsibilities

Backlog Engineering & Decomposition (Build-ready delivery)

- Decompose epics/features into detailed user stories, technical tasks, and acceptance criteria. - Run backlog refinement with engineering teams to ensure clarity, estimation readiness, and sequencing. - Maintain Definition of Ready and Definition of Done discipline to reduce churn and rework.

Technical Documentation & Workflow Definition

Sprint Execution & Delivery Predictability

- Drive sprint-level execution readiness: planning inputs, dependency tracking, and scope sequencing. - Proactively unblock engineers and QA by clarifying logic, behavior, and constraints quickly. - Communicate delivery risks, trade-offs, and technical dependencies early and clearly.

Quality, Validation & Release Readiness

- Define testable acceptance criteria and partner with QA to ensure strong functional and regression coverage. - Support UAT readiness with the Customer PO: test notes, known issues list, validation steps, and demo readiness. - Coordinate release inputs with DevOps/TPMs: release checklist, deployment readiness, and rollback considerations.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

- Act as the India-based bridge across Engineering, QA, DevOps, and Support to maintain shared understanding of scope and intent. - Ensure consistent documentation and traceability from requirements to build to validation.

Ideal candidates should have:

- 6+ years in a technical, engineering-facing product role - Strong Agile experience with tools like Jira, Confluence, or Azure DevOps - A solid understanding of APIs, integrations, and modern software delivery - A quality-driven, detail-oriented, and execution-focused mindset
