About Solvedex
Solvedex is a fast-growing Talent-as-a-Service (TaaS) startup focused on delivering high-quality, flexible talent solutions. We specialize in a fractional talent model that enables organizations to access top-tier professionals without the constraints of traditional hiring. As a small but ambitious organization, we are building a scalable and modern approach to staffing and talent delivery, helping companies stay agile while accessing the expertise they need, when they need it.
Role Overview
We're looking for a Product Owner to own the product backlog and support the day-to-day delivery of value for one or more product initiatives. You'll act as a key link between business stakeholders and the development team, translating requirements into clear, well-prioritized backlog items, while being comfortable enough with technical concepts to follow conversations with engineers and ask the right questions. This role is a good fit for someone who wants to keep growing their technical depth while owning real day-to-day product decisions.
Key Responsibilities
Backlog Ownership & Prioritization
● Own, groom, and prioritize the product backlog based on business value, user needs, and technical feasibility.
● Write clear, well-structured user stories and acceptance criteria that development teams can act on without ambiguity.
● Balance short-term delivery needs with the longer-term product roadmap and strategy.
● Make day-to-day scope and trade-off decisions to keep the team unblocked and delivery on track.
Technical Collaboration & System Understanding
● Participate in conversations with engineers and architects to understand technical constraints, dependencies, and integration points before finalizing scope.
● Help translate technical considerations (e.g., performance, security, data flows) into terms stakeholders can understand, with support from senior technical peers when needed.
● Read technical documentation, API references, and basic architecture diagrams well enough to write accurate, technically informed requirements.
● Support Engineering in surfacing and documenting technical debt or platform-related backlog items alongside feature work.
Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Collaboration
● Act as the primary point of contact between business stakeholders, Product Management, and the development team.
● Gather, clarify, and translate business requirements into actionable product backlog items.
● Communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs clearly to stakeholders, managing expectations proactively.
● Partner closely with UX/Design, QA, and Engineering throughout the full delivery lifecycle.
Agile Delivery & Team Enablement
● Actively participate in and support Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, backlog grooming, reviews, retrospectives).
● Clarify requirements and answer questions for developers and QA throughout the sprint.
● Validate delivered work against acceptance criteria and provide timely feedback.
● Identify and help resolve dependencies, blockers, and scope risks before they impact delivery.
Data-Informed Decision Making
● Use data, user feedback, and business metrics to inform prioritization and backlog decisions.
● Define and track success metrics for delivered features, iterating based on results.
● Conduct or support gap analysis and root cause analysis to identify improvement opportunities.
Requirements
Must-Have
● 2–4 years of experience as a Product Owner, Business Analyst, or similar role owning a product backlog for technical/software products.
● Solid experience writing user stories, acceptance criteria, and supporting backlog prioritization.
● Knowledge of Agile methodologies and Scrum, with hands-on experience in Agile ceremonies.
● Working technical fluency: comfortable reading API documentation and basic architecture diagrams, and asking informed questions in technical conversations.
● Experience with Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence) or similar product/backlog management tools.
● Strong facilitation, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
● Ability to translate business needs into clear, actionable requirements.
● Ability to use data to identify bottlenecks and support prioritization decisions.
● Comfortable operating in fast-paced environments with evolving priorities.
● Advanced English (C1) — required for daily written and verbal communication with US-based, cross-cultural teams.
Highly Valued
● Deeper technical fluency: prior experience directly leading trade-off discussions with engineers/architects (build vs. buy, technical debt prioritization).
● Experience owning products in the healthcare domain (e.g., HIPAA-regulated systems, EHR/EMR platforms, payer/provider systems).
● Experience with governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) processes for regulated products.
● Experience owning products in other regulated or complex domains (e.g., fintech, enterprise SaaS).
● Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) or equivalent certification.
● Experience working directly with US-based clients or distributed, cross-cultural teams.
● Familiarity with UX research or usability testing practices.
● Experience in startup or client-facing consulting environments.
