About the role:
As Technical Product Owner, you will be part of the Email competence center (TEM / Email Security) and work closely with the Technical Product Manager. Your mission is to translate the Email domain vision and roadmap into concrete, deliverable backlog items and to guide our development teams in implementing robust, scalable, secure and efficient Email services. You will help ensure that our Email products deliver high deliverability, strong protection and a reliable experience for enterprise customers with demanding communication and security requirements. You bring a strong software engineering background (ideally in backend, email infrastructure or security/communication platforms) and have grown into a Product Owner role. You are comfortable discussing architecture, performance, filtering and routing details with developers, while also understanding customer use cases, SLAs, compliance and operational constraints. You will sit at the intersection of product, security, operations and engineering: refining requirements, shaping epics and user stories, and ensuring that Email features and platform capabilities are implemented with high quality and are operable at scale.
