Job Description

We are looking for a Technical Product Owner to lead the development of FindHotel's content service. This service covers everything from getting diverse content from our partner's APIs to managing the life cycle of this content, merging and exposing them to our customers via many internal and external platforms.

As one of the world's leading hotel marketplaces, we find amazing content for millions of visitors around the world every month. You'll be responsible for the tools which are at the core of our business – finding the best content and getting them in front of our users as fast as possible.

If you like the idea of solving some of the toughest problems in travel, designing solutions that handle incredible scale and building a product that is the engine of our business - you might be the person we’re looking for.

 

What you will really be doing

  • Working with the rest of the business and the leadership team to understand requirements and set our priorities, in both the short term (sprints) and long term (vision); you define the product roadmap.
  • Managing the backlog for the services you own and ensuring delivery. You help to conceive the features, write the requirements, manage the build and implementation, and make sure it works as expected.

  • Building a water-tight process for getting things done and delivering on our goals; if there’s something we should be doing then make it happen.

  • Always being up to date on the latest technologies, our tech stack and changes in our industry. You want to be on the cutting edge.

What a day in the office might look like

You start your day with a daily stand-up and help identify and remove any roadblocks your squad is facing. Before lunch, you sit with the website team to review some new features they’re working on which might need changes to the API they consume. After lunch, you lead a planning session with the squad to share these changes, slice up the work and set the priorities for the next sprint. Before heading home you grab a beer (or another tasty beverage) and review the roadmap with the rest of the POs and the CEO to look for challenges ahead, validate ideas and spot opportunities.

 

The squad

You will be working daily leading a small team of amazing developers. You’ll be supported by a technical lead and by other POs around the company, and we’ll work together to make sure we’re all in sync and rowing in the same direction.

Requirements
