Overview:
We are seeking an elite, systems-thinking Technical Product Owner to orchestrate the lifecycle, scaling, and architectural evolution of our core Enterprise Platform. This is not a front-end or basic UI workflow role. You will own the core backend engine—the secure, unified, and highly optimized bedrock that enables hundreds of internal engineering, analytics, and business units to build and deploy mission-critical capabilities safely. You will sit at the intersection of enterprise cloud infrastructure, APIs, data platforms, and rigorous regulatory compliance, transforming complex technical requirements into robust, scalable platform services.
Key Responsibilities
Enterprise Platform & API Roadmap:
- Own and execute the core backend platform roadmap, backlog, prioritization matrix, and enterprise release plans.
- Scale foundational platform services, including enterprise data pipelines, shared microservices, API gateways, and system integrations.
- Treat internal developers and platform consumers as your primary customers by delivering reliable internal APIs, SDKs, and clear architectural documentation."Paved Road" Governance, Security & Compliance
- Partner closely with Cybersecurity, Legal, and Compliance teams to enforce strict security and data-privacy guardrails across the platform.
- Bake programmatic guardrails into backend services for PII/PHI data masking, role-based access control (RBAC/IAM), data lineage, and auditability.
- Translate complex healthcare compliance frameworks (e.g., HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2) directly into automated backend platform features.
Platform Reliability, Performance & Unit Economics:
Optimize cloud infrastructure footprints, API latency, and platform operating costs without sacrificing system performance or availability. Ruthlessly balance new platform feature delivery with infrastructure scalability, technical debt reduction, and system reliability.
Agile Dependency & Stakeholder Orchestration:
Deconstruct complex architectural initiatives into crisp technical epics, user stories, and quantitative acceptance criteria.
Lead Scrum/Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, backlog refinement, and cross-team dependency mapping across multiple engineering squads.
Communicate roadmap progress, architectural risks, and delivery status clearly to both Principal Architects and executive business stakeholders.
Required Qualifications
Experience:
5+ years of explicit experience driving technical product ownership, technical product management, or platform management within a large-scale enterprise environment.
Domain Expertise: Proven track record delivering backend infrastructure components, enterprise data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, cloud data warehouses), or highly distributed API/microservices systems.
Regulated Industry DNA: Direct experience navigating the data complexities and strict security architectures of highly regulated ecosystems (Healthcare, HealthTech, Health Insurance, or comparable regulated enterprises).Technical Literacy: Ability to challenge architectural decisions, review API contracts and data models, and speak the native language of Principal Architects and backend engineers.
Compliance Awareness: Strong familiarity with data governance frameworks and security compliance standards (e.g., HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, PII/PHI protection).Agile Rigor: Mastery of Scrum/SAFe frameworks at scale, with deep proficiency using Jira and Confluence to manage complex cross-team dependencies.
Preferred Qualifications:
(Nice to Have)AI-Enabled Capabilities: Exposure to integrating or governing enterprise AI tools, intelligent automation, or AI-assisted product workflows.
