<li>Stay close to implementation to ensure quality and speed</li>
<li>Balance performance, scalability, and maintainability</li>
<li>Extend the platform with AI-driven functionality</li>
<li>Collaborate closely with the founder, sales, and customers</li>
</ul>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<ul>
<li>Strong hands-on experience with React, JavaScript, Node.js, Google Cloud Platform, and Kubernetes</li>
<li>Experience working on a data-heavy SaaS or analytics platform with large data volumes</li>
<li>Solid understanding of system architecture, APIs, and data models</li>
<li>Daily experience using Jira and Confluence in product or engineering teams</li>
<li>Proven experience in a leading product or engineering role</li>
<li>Ability to understand and balance the needs of customers, sales, and engineering to build a strong product roadmap</li>
<li>Clear and confident technical and non-technical communication skills</li>
<li>English (C1+), written and spoken</li>
<li>German is a plus, but not mandatory</li>
</ul>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<ul>
<li>End-to-end ownership of a mission-critical analytics product</li>
<li>Small, senior team with fast feedback loops and little process overhead</li>
<li>High autonomy, low politics, quick decisions</li>
<li>Free choice of hardware &amp; modern technology</li>
<li>Try new tools to grow and improve</li>
<li>Tech-Stack: <a href="https://stackshare.io/info5481/our-stack">https://stackshare.io/info5481/our-stack</a></li>
<li>Hybrid setup with office in central Munich</li>
<li>Beyond work: DB-Ticket, Urban Sport Club membership</li>
<li>Diversity - International Team (10 Nationalities) with all genders</li>
<li>30 days of holidays</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>A Senior Technical Product Owner / Product Manager with engineering roots</li>
<li>A former engineer or tech lead who moved into product leadership</li>
</ul>
You don’t need to code every day, but you must understand the codebase, system design, and technical trade-offs well enough to make independent decisions and guide the team.
