About the position

UST Global is seeking a talented Technical Product Owner (TPO) to lead a team of Java Spring Boot backend developers and UI developers in delivering large and complex Microservices applications. The TPO will work closely with customer technology leadership and senior managers to identify requirements, convert them into features, and define acceptance criteria. This role requires a deep understanding of Java, REST API Microservices architecture, and UI frameworks such as React or Angular. While development experience in these technologies is a plus, it is not mandatory; candidates with a strong background as a TPO in similar environments will be considered. In this position, the TPO will own the product end-to-end, including the roadmap at the technology and functional level. The candidate is expected to collaborate with client leadership, Scrum Masters, and developers to identify technical and non-functional requirements, translating them into features and user stories. The TPO will also drive product demos and provide guidance during product backlog grooming sessions conducted by the Scrum Master. Additionally, the TPO will support API and UI developers in designing, implementing, testing, and deploying APIs using the latest technologies and best practices. The role involves agile project delivery and end-to-end ownership in implementing custom-built API solutions. The TPO will communicate risks, issues, challenges, and the status/progress of the project to leadership, ensuring that all stakeholders are informed and aligned. This position is critical in ensuring that the development teams can effectively ingest initiatives, features, and user stories, ultimately leading to successful product outcomes.
