ABOUT OUR TEAM

Our team's primary objectives are to improve developer experience and to increase engineering team productivity. We do this by providing a range of products and services that orientate around engineering reuse, product management and operations, developer insights and platform engineering.

The product is entering a pivotal and exciting phase where we are expanding our functionality and augmenting functionality to thrive in an agent-developed environment.

The Product Owner will be the face of the platform; interacting with our developer community to understand, translate and build their needs. Success is ultimately measured by adoption, engineering measures and developer feedback.

The Product Owner will be responsible for:

• Prioritising and defining a product roadmap which is aligned to outcomes and feedback
