Technical Product Owner (Portugal, Hybrid)

Welcome to tb.lx – we are building sustainable transportation solutions in a hybrid work setup. Join us – we are looking for you!  

As a Technical Product Owner, you will help build bridges between the Engineering Team, our Business Partners at Daimler Truck, and other teams working on the same remit, while also supporting the development team to deliver reliable, high-quality digital products.

In your day-to-day work, you’ll be the roadmap owner for the team you work with, acting as the one responsible for evaluating opportunities and determining what gets built and delivered to end users. As a result, you will be expected to help your team find alternative solutions to solve problems, as well as celebrating and recognizing their achievements. 

A stable, high-quality product is the entire team's responsibility, but as a Technical Product Owner, you are responsible for building evolving products, and you might need to use different approaches to manage different situations. You will be the main person guiding the development team in the Product Lifecycle, gathering and prioritizing Epics, talking with Business Partners, supporting the definition of the product vision, and working closely with engineering.

Every team has its own rituals. You will have regular syncs with your team, to organize tasks, and to help them work through possible blockers or dependencies. At tb.lx, we always support each other. We believe in and foster an open space for our tblxers to share their thoughts, achievements, and pains. You will also have one-on-one meetings to address key topics with your team members. It is also important for you to know that you will inspire and motivate others, and be a go-to person within your team.
