Job Summary
In this role, you will own the product vision for the cloud platform, prioritize the backlog, and closely collaborate with DevOps teams to ensure service quality and operational stability.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Responsible for the product vision and strategy of the Team Cloud Platform (self-service platform services, consumable via clear interfaces).
- Prioritize and maintain the Product Backlogs for the Cloud Platform, balancing Business Value, risks, operational stability, and technical dependencies.
- Take over the service ownership for the service domains Compute & Runtime as well as Lifecycle (Deploy) (including the further development of the service catalog and standards).
- Define and manage SLIs/SLOs for all owned services (making quality and availability targets measurable and consistently monitored).
- Work closely with the platform/DevOps team to ensure requirements are clearly understood, well-defined, and efficiently implemented (refinement, sprint/flow management, clear acceptance criteria).
- Coordinate with the Lead Product Owner and other Product Owners to ensure a coherent and integrated platform strategy (interfaces, dependencies, shared standards).
- Maintain the interface contracts with neighboring domains (e.g., infrastructure/network, observability) to ensure responsibilities and handovers function stably.
- Standardize the Delivery & Platform practices: embed CI/CD and GitOps standards (GitLab, ArgoCD) as well as IaC standards (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) with clear guardrails into the backlog.
- Cost and decision management: creating transparency about costs/drivers, preparing/deciding trade-offs, and documenting them transparently.
- Actively eliminate bottlenecks (cross-training, pairing/rotation, escalation paths) to ensure that operations and delivery are not dependent on individual persons.
- Conduct reviews/retrospectives for the continuous improvement of product, process, and collaboration.
- Ensure the audit/security readiness in platform operations (e.g., logging/revision/auditability, baselines, roles & responsibilities in cloud setups).
- Reports on progress, risks, and service quality to management and stakeholders (transparent roadmap, clear priorities, measurable goals).
