POSITION SUMMARY-
Job Purpose and Key Responsibilities:
We are seeking a Technical Product Manager (TPM) to own the product strategy, roadmap, and execution for internal systems and products in the FieldView platform domain. This is a high-autonomy, high-ownership role - you will act as the strategic owner of these platforms, not simply a backlog manager. You will reduce the technical burden on senior engineers by engaging delivery teams across unit and organizational boundaries to drive cross-team alignment, facilitate design reviews, and ensure technical decisions are well-informed and communicated. This role is embedded primarily within delivery teams, working day-to-day alongside team members to drive execution readiness and delivery clarity while proactively driving whole-organization adoption of the teams" platforms and services.
This role operates within the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and requires someone who can engage credibly at all levels - from architects defining technical strategy to new teams onboarding to your capabilities.

Key Responsibilities
Platform Ownership & Strategy:
*Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for internal services, such as account hierarchy infrastructure.
*Operate with an ownership mindset - take initiative, make decisions, and drive outcomes without waiting for direction
*Shape the multi-PI direction of owned platforms, balancing new capability development, technical debt reduction, and adoption
*Monitor relevant technical trends and emerging technologies to inform product vision and collaboration
*Build and communicate a compelling narrative for platform investments to leadership and stakeholders

SAFe Planning & Backlog Management:
*Author high-quality Features and User Stories with quantified problem statements, measurable outcomes, clear scope boundaries, testable acceptance criteria, identified dependencies, and mitigations.
*Lead Feature and Story decomposition - breaking platform capabilities into well-scoped, ready-to-execute work that is prioritized using frameworks such as ICE (Impact, Confidence, Ease).
*Own execution readiness: drive PI Planning preparation; maintain a healthy team backlog with clear prioritization, resolved dependencies, and well-refined and sequenced work prior to sprint execution.

Architecture Alignment & Technical Design:
*Partner with architects and senior engineers on technical design reviews
*Reduce the cognitive and coordination load on senior engineers by driving clarity on requirements, trade-offs, and cross-team dependencies
*Understand and contribute to discussions on authentication protocols (OAuth, OIDC, SAML), authorization models (RBAC, ABAC), and security patterns
*Ensure technical decisions are well-documented and aligned with enterprise architecture, security requirements, and compliance standards

Stakeholder Management & Cross-ART Coordination:
*Serve as the primary point of contact for owned platform capabilities across all 7 ARTs
*Communicate platform capabilities, changes, and migration paths
*Facilitate the creation and maintenance of product documentation, including platform vision, capability guardrails, and onboarding guides
*Engage credibly with Enterprise Architects, Security teams, and engineering leadership
*Drive consuming teams to execution, identifying and resolving blockers to their adoption, and holding teams accountable to committed timelines

Developer Experience & Adoption:
*Drive adoption of platform capabilities across the organization
*Measure and improve the developer experience for teams integrating with your platforms
*Track adoption metrics, usage patterns, and customer satisfaction
*Identify and remove friction points in platform consumption

Metrics & Continuous Improvement:
*Define and track success metrics for identity and access platforms (adoption rate, integration time, incident rates, developer satisfaction)
*Contribute to operational visibility through dashboards and data-driven decision-making
*Participate in business reviews and roadmap readouts with leadership

Qualifications Required:
*5+ years of experience as a Technical Product Manager, Product Owner, or equivalent role in software/platform engineering
*Demonstrated experience owning and driving strategy for internal platform products or shared services
*Strong technical fluency in identity and access management concepts (authentication, authorization, SSO, OIDC/OAuth, RBAC/ABAC) or comparable platform domains
*Comfortable reading and reasoning about code - able to review pull requests, understand system behavior from source, and engage in technical discussions grounded in implementation detail
*Proven ability to write high-quality product artifacts - Features, User Stories, acceptance criteria (GIVEN/WHEN/THEN), and technical requirements
*Experience with Agile backlog management tools (Azure DevOps preferred; Jira, Rally, or equivalent acceptable)
*Ability to engage in architectural discussions and reduce the coordination burden on senior engineers
*Strong written and verbal communication skills - able to translate complex technical concepts for diverse audiences
*Self-starter with a track record of taking initiative and driving outcomes in ambiguous environments

Preferred:
*Experience with Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) - PI Planning, ART ceremonies, Feature/Story decomposition
*Background in cloud-native platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure-as-code
*Experience with identity providers and access management systems (Okta, Auth0, AWS IAM, Azure AD, Keycloak, etc.)
*Familiarity with security compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, data governance)
*Experience building platform adoption strategies - go-to-market for internal tools, developer onboarding, migration playbooks
*Proficiency with GenAI tools and AI-assisted workflows (GitHub Copilot, AI agents, prompt engineering) for accelerating product management work
*Experience with Datadog, observability platforms, or data-driven engineering practices

Education:
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related technical field required
* Advanced degree (MBA, MS) or equivalent experience preferred

Skills / Behavioral Characteristics:
*Thinks and acts like a platform owner - proactively identifies problems, proposes solutions, and drives execution

*Can participate meaningfully in architecture and design discussions without relying on engineers to translate
*Articulates platform value and technical concepts clearly to audiences ranging from junior developers to enterprise architects
