About the role
TripArc is hiring a Technical Product Owner to work alongside our Software Design & Architecture team, owning the cross-platform view that individual delivery squads can't maintain on their own. You sit across the platform - documenting how shared services connect, coordinating version currency across the stack, managing the intake of new services being elevated from squad-owned to platform-agnostic, and ensuring architectural decisions are captured and communicated where they need to land. You bring strong technical instincts, a working understanding of modern AI tooling, and the SDLC fluency to operate confidently from discovery through deployment.
Responsibilities
- Platform service governance
- Version and maintenance coordination
- Coordinating scheduled upgrades across platform services, bringing together the right engineering skills, scheduling the work, and tracking it to completion. An ongoing operational responsibility.
- Architecture and integration documentation
- Working with the Architecture team to document service contracts, integration patterns, and platform decisions in Confluence including data flow diagrams, dependency maps, API summaries, and decision logs.
- Cross-cutting requirements
- Eliciting and maintaining requirements that span multiple squads or product lines, surfacing shared dependencies early and aligning teams on platform contracts before they diverge.
- Emerging capabilities
- Supporting the evaluation and introduction of new platform capabilities like event sourcing, evolving NServiceBus patterns, and newer data and messaging tooling whilst coordinating across architecture and infrastructure stakeholders.
- AI Commons governance
- Maintaining TripArc's AI Commons: the shared repository of AI configuration, role guides, and skill packs across GitHub Copilot/Codex, Claude, and Cursor, keeping it current as AI tooling evolves.
- Infrastructure and DevOps partnership
- Coordinating with Infrastructure and DevOps on platform performance, Azure/AKS health, and AIOps initiatives. You ensure the right conversations happen and outcomes are documented.
Requirements
- Technical foundation
- 4-7 years in a Product Owner, Business Analyst, or technical solutions-focused role on software delivery teams
- Comfortable reading REST API documentation, OpenAPI/Swagger specs, and data models
- SQL fluency sufficient to support integration analysis and data validation
- Working knowledge of microservices architecture, event-driven patterns, and API design principles
- Familiarity with Azure, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines - enough to ask the right questions and track the right work
- Exposure to NServiceBus or equivalent messaging infrastructure is an asset
- Hands-on with Jira and Confluence as your daily operating environment
- AI fluency
- Actively uses AI tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or equivalent) as a standard part of how you work
- Experience with AI governance or shared AI configuration management is a meaningful differentiator
- Deep experience with AI-assisted development or agentic pipelines is a strong asset
- Process and communication
- Strong documentation instincts - you produce artefacts that reduce ambiguity, not just record discussions
- Comfortable facilitating cross-functional conversations with technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Able to hold a platform-level view while engaging at the detail a developer or architect needs
- Experienced managing multiple concurrent workstreams across teams with competing priorities
- Additional Assets
- Experience in travel, e-commerce, logistics, or marketplace platform environments
- Familiarity with MongoDB aggregation pipelines or document-oriented schema design
- Prior experience in a platform-level or architecture-support BA role
