Job description

Job Title: Technical Product Owner – SAP Commerce Cloud (Hybris). Location: Grand Rapids, MI (On-site). Employment Type: Contract (W2 through ZipStaff — No C2C or 1099). About the Opportunity ZipStaff is seeking a Technical Product Owner for the SAP Commerce Cloud (Hybris) cart-and-order platform at a major grocery and retail organization. This is not a ticket-writing PO role. You own a high-volume Java commerce platform — cart, checkout, regulated tender, promotions, and order lifecycle — and you are accountable for what it does, what it stops doing, and what it costs to run. Highest-value work is diagnosed from production telemetry, not gathered only from stakeholders. What You’ll Do: • Own the cart-to-order engine: cart and cart-group (including marketplace carts), checkout, place-order, and the full order lifecycle (place, edit, cancel, replace, status). • Own regulated multi-tender checkout, including EBT SNAP and EBT WIC, mixed tender, and related compliance surfaces. • Own promotions and rewards pricing, subscriptions, tip orders, and donation flows. • Own platform health and cost: capacity, latency, error budget, and SAP Commerce Cloud consumption. • Own integration contracts: OCC API versioning, Kafka feeds, order export to OMS, and identity through Okta / Azure APIM. • Drive deliberate retirement of legacy surfaces (legacy REST, order-export transports, and unused vendor paths). • Own a large Azure DevOps backlog (epic through story/enabler/bug) and run SAFe PI planning and sprint commitment. • Investigate production incidents directly (SAP Cloud Logging, Dynatrace, Azure SQL Query Store, HAC, FlexibleSearch) and write root-cause analysis with named signals. • Run pre-deploy risk review and Technical PO Go/No-Go, including rollback and post-release verification. • Coordinate Order Broker, payments, OMS, marketplace, and data-integration partners, and manage SAP as a vendor. • Continue the team’s AI-assisted engineering program (agent governance, MCP tooling, repeatable skills) where determinism must replace inference. Required Qualifications: • 6+ years in product ownership, technical program management, or engineering on a large-scale transactional commerce platform, with 3+ years owning a platform or domain end to end. • Hands-on SAP Commerce Cloud (Hybris) : type system and items.xml, service and facade layering, OCC controllers, ImpEx, cron jobs, task engine, business-process order flows, and CCv2 aspect topology. • Ability to read Java and Spring configuration, reason about a SQL plan, and interpret a distributed trace. • Production incident ownership: Sev1/Sev2 root-cause analysis on a revenue-critical system, driven to a verified fix. • Data-driven prioritization — you query logs and telemetry yourself before committing engineering capacity. • Azure DevOps at working depth (hierarchy, WIQL, boards, wiki, pipelines) and SAFe PI planning. • Strong structured writing (findings, ADRs, executive summaries, release reports). • Ability to work on-site in Grand Rapids, MI. • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future. Preferred Qualifications: • Grocery, retail, or omnichannel commerce, especially EBT SNAP/WIC or another regulated tender. • OMS, marketplace / 3P, store pickup and delivery. • Kafka, Redis, and Azure SQL performance. • OpenTelemetry / observability practice. • Major platform upgrade (JDK, Spring, or commerce replatform). • AI-assisted engineering (agent instructions, MCP, skill authoring) with judgment on where scripts must replace model inference. • LaunchDarkly and performance testing (k6, JMeter). Benefits: • Health Insurance. • Dental Insurance. • Vision Insurance. • 401(k). • 401(k) matching. • Paid time off. • Referral Program. About ZipStaff ZipStaff partners with leading organizations to connect skilled technology professionals with high-impact contract opportunities. We focus on quality matches, clear communication, and long-term success for candidates and clients. To apply, submit your resume highlighting SAP Commerce Cloud / Hybris ownership, a production incident you diagnosed, and SAFe or Azure DevOps backlog ownership. Business-only POs with no Hybris or production RCA will not be considered. Pay: $47 - $48 per hour
