Role Summary:
The Sr. Product Owner is responsible for ensuring engineering execution readiness by translating high-level product requirements into clear, build-ready user stories and technical tasks.

Key Responsibilities
Backlog Engineering & Decomposition (Build-ready delivery)
- Decompose epics/features into detailed user stories, technical tasks, and acceptance criteria.
- Run backlog refinement with engineering teams to ensure clarity, estimation readiness, and sequencing.
- Maintain Definition of Ready and Definition of Done discipline to reduce churn and rework.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Act as the India-based bridge across Engineering, QA, DevOps, and Support to maintain shared understanding of scope and intent.
- Ensure consistent documentation and traceability from requirements to build to validation.
Ideal candidates should have:
- 6+ years in a technical, engineering-facing product role
