- solid understanding of platform architecture, including multi-tenancy, Control Plane vs Data Plane, deployment workflows, service orchestration, and platform scalability,
- experience defining product strategy, owning roadmaps, prioritising initiatives, and leading product discovery,
- strong stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to bridge engineering and business perspectives,
- experience making product decisions based on metrics and measurable outcomes,
- comfortable working closely with engineers, challenging technical decisions, and driving engineering best practices,
- practical experience using AI-powered assistants (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot Chat, or similar) to improve productivity, quality, or decision-making in analysis and software delivery.
Work from the European Union region and a work permit are required.
