Participate in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, reviews, and retrospectives. Collaborate closely with engineering, design, support, and business teams. Assist with prioritizing and maintaining the product backlog. Gather feedback from customers, stakeholders, and internal teams to identify opportunities for improvement.

Familiarity with technical concepts such as APIs, middleware, services, and SQL. Exposure to tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence, Figma, Miro, or similar platforms. Experience using AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, or other productivity technologies. Interest in prompt engineering — writing clear, context-rich prompts and iterating on them to improve AI-generated stories and acceptance criteria. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities, including translating between technical and business audiences. Ability to create user journeys, wireframes, and basic diagrams to convey ideas. Ability to organize multiple priorities and manage deadlines. Curiosity and willingness to learn new technologies and business processes. Strong attention to detail and a customer-focused mindset. What Success Looks Like Build a strong understanding of our customers and products. Become confident writing user stories and managing backlog items. Develop productive partnerships with engineering and business teams. Help deliver features that create measurable customer value. Grow your understanding of Agile development and product management best practices. Influence product decisions through customer and data-driven insights. Why Join Us? Learn directly from experienced product leaders. Gain exposure to every stage of the product lifecycle. Work with modern technologies, AI initiatives, and cross-functional teams. Contribute to products used by thousands of customers. Enjoy clear career growth opportunities into Product Owner II, Product Manager, and other product leadership roles.
