About the role

As a Product Owner for the Developer Platform & SDLC Toolchain, you'll own the end-to-end product vision, roadmap, and backlog for the engineering toolchain that enables fast, secure, compliant software delivery at scale. You will treat the SDLC toolchain as a cohesive product experience, not a collection of tools—balancing strategic vision with day-to-day prioritisation and stakeholder alignment.

You will partner closely with software engineering, QA, DevOps/SRE, architecture, security, compliance, and platform teams to define priorities, remove friction, and elevate developer experience across the organisation.

Stakeholder Management & Needs Discovery

• Represent engineering, security, quality, and business needs across teams.

• Identify user needs, friction points, and gaps in capabilities.

• Balance competing priorities (e.g., speed vs. governance).

• Turn ambiguous problems into clear requirements.

• Run engagement forums (e.g., engineering productivity boards, tooling councils).

Backlog Ownership & Prioritisation

• Maintain a unified backlog across features, tech debt, security, compliance, and reliability.

• Prioritise based on value, engineering leverage, risk, and compliance.

• Balance long‑term roadmap with day‑to‑day realities using frameworks like WSJF or cost‑of‑delay.

Translating Needs into Clear Outcomes

• Define desired outcomes, success metrics, and acceptance criteria.

• Write clear epics/features and document assumptions and constraints.

• Ensure consistent workflows across Jira, CI, SCM, Artifactory, and other tools.

Developer Experience Ownership

• Own and improve DevEx metrics (e.g., time to first commit, lead time for change, pipeline reliability).

• Define KPIs, interpret telemetry, and incorporate feedback.

• Promote automation, self‑service, and paved‑road tooling experiences.

Security, Compliance & Risk Integration

• Embed shift‑left security tools (SAST/DAST, SonarQube, BlackDuck) into workflows.

• Ensure actionable, low‑friction security feedback.

• Maintain traceability across Jira → code → build → artefact and support auditability.

Roadmap Planning & Delivery Alignment

• Build quarterly/annual roadmaps aligned with company initiatives.

• Communicate dependencies, trade‑offs, and sequencing.

• Support planning ceremonies and resolve prioritisation conflicts.

About you
