We're looking for a Junior Product Owner to help shape the future of our Product SDKs. You'll own the day-to-day management of the product backlog, working closely with engineers and stakeholders to ensure the team is always focused on the highest-value work.

You'll have the autonomy to prioritize incoming requests, make day-to-day product decisions, and keep work moving forward. At the same time, you'll be supported by a Senior Product Owner, who will provide strategic direction, mentoring, and guidance on the long-term product roadmap. It's an ideal opportunity for someone looking to grow into a Product Owner role with real ownership from day one.

You'll own the day-to-day product backlog and prioritization from the start, giving you real influence over how the product evolves. A Senior Product Owner will partner with you on long-term roadmap planning, strategic initiatives, and product direction, providing coaching and mentorship as you grow.
