About the role:
Not many Product roles let you see your product decisions move physical things in the real world. We are a fast-growing warehouse robotics and automation startup building intelligent, production-scale systems for real customer operations and we are looking for a Product Owner who finds that genuinely exciting. We move fast and operate lean, which means our team members have an outsized impact and wear multiple hats. You will own the backlog and requirements across one or two scrum teams, work closely with the Senior Product Manager on roadmap direction, and keep Agile ceremonies running smoothly. This is a fully on-site role with cross-time zone collaboration with product team members globally. If you want to build something that matters in an industry being transformed by robotics and automation, this is the role.

• Define user acceptance testing (UAT) in close collaboration with engineering and customer facing teams to confirm delivered features meet defined requirements 

• Facilitate and participate in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, standups, reviews, and retrospectives, helping the team maintain cadence, remove blockers, and continuously improve ways of working 

• Collaborate effectively with other product team members across a distributed, global team including regular cross-time zone syncs with our China office, maintaining alignment through structured async communication and clear written documentation 

• Partner with customer support to surface and triage field issues, incorporating bug prioritization and customer-reported feedback into backlog decisions 

• 2 years of experience as a Product Manager, Product Owner, or similar role in a software product environment 

• Proficiency in Agile/Scrum methodologies with strong understanding of sprint cadence and ceremony facilitation 

• Hands-on experience with backlog management tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or Rally 

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to tailor messaging to technical and non-technical audiences 

• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities in a lean startup environment where roles and responsibilities continue to evolve 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience in logistics, supply chain, or warehouse management software, including familiarity with WMS, WCS, WES, conveyor systems, or robotics (AMRs, AS/RS) 

• Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) or SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager (POPM) certification; experience working in a scaled Agile environment (SAFe, LeSS)
