Technical Product Owner

About The Role

We are looking for a hands-on (Junior) Technical Product Owner to join our Back / Middle Office team. This role combines classic product ownership responsibilities with direct operational engagement : monitoring critical services, responding to alerts, investigating issues, and ensuring the smooth functioning of our infrastructure.

If you're excited by the intersection of product ownership and hands-on technical operations—and you thrive in fast-moving, detail-oriented environments—this role offers the chance to grow into a pivotal bridge between engineering, trading, and operations.

This is a perfect role for someone technically minded, detail-oriented, and curious about crypto trading infrastructure — and wants to grow into a more senior PO or product manager role over time.

What You'll Do

Product Ownership

Work closely with developers to define requirements, prioritise backlog, and ensure features align with trading and operations needs.

• Translate technical constraints (e.g., exchange APIs, failover mechanisms) into clear product stories.

Document product workflows, edge cases, business requirements and monitoring practices.

Cross-team Collaboration

Liaise with trading, operations, and treasury teams to understand requirements and pain points.

Communicate incidents, root causes, and fixes clearly across stakeholders.

Quality Assurance & Testing

Act as embedded QA for Sigma tools : test new releases, verify bug fixes, and run sanity checks on live systems.

What We're Looking For

Mindset & Skills

Curious problem solver who enjoys digging into system errors and following the "rabbit hole" until the root cause is found.

Ability to juggle operational urgency (incident handling) with structured product delivery.

Technical Background

Understanding of APIs and data structures.

Basic familiarity with trading or financial systems (crypto a plus).

Experience

Previous product owner, business analyst, or ops / engineering hybrid role welcome.
