Summary

Product Owner at Shiji Group in Katowice who owns the direction and delivery of products built on a distributed microservices architecture — mapping service dependencies, shaping a sequenced backlog, defining acceptance criteria, and partnering closely with engineering. Core needs: systems analysis, technical fluency, a quantitative background, and AI tooling fluency.

We are looking for a Product Owner to own the direction and delivery of products built on a distributed, multi-service architecture. You will sit at the intersection of business goals and technical execution, translating strategy into a clear, sequenced backlog that a software engineering team can build with confidence. This role suits someone who is highly logical, detail-oriented, and comfortable reasoning about complex systems where many moving parts depend on each other.

What You'll Do

· Own and prioritize the product backlog, turning business objectives into well-defined, actionable requirements.

· Analyze a multi-microservice environment independently: map how services interact, identify gaps, surface hidden dependencies, and plan work so that features are sequenced in the right order.

· Break down large initiatives into deliverable increments, accounting for cross-service dependencies and technical constraints.

· Partner closely with engineering, drawing on your own technical understanding to have credible, precise conversations about trade-offs, feasibility, and risk.

· Define acceptance criteria and validate that delivered work meets both the business intent and the technical requirements.

· Communicate clearly and consistently with technical and non-technical stakeholders, keeping everyone aligned on scope, priorities, and progress.

· Use data and quantitative reasoning to inform prioritization, measure outcomes, and support decisions.

Core Skills & Abilities

· Systems analysis in a distributed environment. Ability to independently analyze a multi-microservice architecture, identify gaps and dependencies, and produce sound, well-sequenced plans.

· Technical fluency. Enough technical knowledge and understanding to communicate effectively with the engineering team, understand system design, and reason about dependencies and constraints.

· Logical and detail-oriented. A rigorous, structured thinker who catches edge cases, keeps track of details, and reasons through problems methodically.

· Quantitative aptitude. A financial and/or mathematical background, comfortable working with numbers, models, and data to drive decisions.

· Strong communication. Clear, precise, and collaborative when working with both technical teams and business stakeholders.

· Tooling and backlog hygiene. Mastery of widely used software development tools such as Jira/Confluence (or similar) and strong backlog hygiene practices (refinement, prioritization, definition of ready/done).



Requirements

Requirements

· 3+ years experience working within a software development organization (required).

· Demonstrated ability to analyze complex, service-based systems and plan delivery around their dependencies.

· A financial, mathematical, or otherwise quantitative background.

· Strong logical reasoning and attention to detail.

· Experience with API-driven, distributed platforms.

· Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

· AI fluency is required. Demonstrated willingness and ability to engage with AI tooling effectively across the role—from requirements validation and analysis through decomposition and use-case coverage—while applying sound judgment to its outputs.

Nice to Have

· Background in hospitality, fiscal compliance or financial systems. We value diverse backgrounds; what matters most is a logical, detail-oriented mindset paired with software organization experience.

· Prior experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager on technical products.

· Familiarity with agile delivery practices.

What We Value

We care less about a single traditional career path and more about how you think. Whether you come from hospitality, finance, engineering, or elsewhere, the right person here is logical, detail-oriented, quantitatively capable, and able to hold their own in technical conversations while keeping the product moving forward.
