Remote in our day-to-day work. On-site when it matters.
We work remote by default – focused, efficient, and with full ownership. For larger features, architectural decisions, and real brainstorming sessions, we come together in Berlin – fast, hands-on, and without unnecessary meeting overhead.
We use AI to accelerate – not to replace thinking.
We design the system, steer the output, and take responsibility for what we ship.
Fast where it makes sense. Careful where it matters.
Your mission
Own the backbone of our data services. You don’t need to know everything – but you make sure things work, scale, and stay reliable.
As a Junior Technical Product Owner (f/m/d), turn complexity into clarity and help us build stable, scalable software.
Translate business needs into clear, actionable technical requirements for engineering teams
Collaborate closely with Data Engineers: refine requirements, define test cases, and continuously learn about architectures and data flows
Keep the bigger picture in mind: guide features from initial idea through development, rollout, and ongoing operation
Use your digital toolkit (Git, Jenkins, monitoring dashboards, etc.) to maintain visibility and control over system health
Bring structure to complexity and help move services from “working” to “reliable at scale”
Your skills
We value the right mindset over perfect experience – bring curiosity, ownership, and a willingness to learn.
Hold a degree in (Business) Informatics or a related field
Bring initial experience as a Technical Product Owner / Product Manager – or demonstrate strong technical affinity and the ambition to grow into the role
Develop a solid technical understanding: concepts like TDD, ETL, and monitoring tools (e.g. Grafana, Graylog) should not be unfamiliar
Communicate effectively in an agile environment: understand developers, speak their language, and translate problems into clear solutions
Work independently, take ownership, and focus on pragmatic solutions
Communicate clearly and honestly – and don’t shy away from asking the right questions
Nice to have:
Experience working with data, exposure to microservices, or familiarity with the AdTech environment — if not, we’ll help you get there.
Why you’ll love working with us
Ownership over tickets:You’re trusted with real responsibility, not just tasks. No unnecessary bureaucracy, no micromanagement – we rely on you to take things forward.

And yes – the fundamentals are covered too:30 days of vacation + Dec 24 & 31 off, Smart Fridays (4 days week possible), mobility (Germany ticket & JobRad), sports & health offerings, mental health support, corporate benefits, RTL+ access, and more.
Your CV is just the starting point.
What matters more to us than your resume: a portfolio, a side project, a demo repo – anything that shows you don’t just talk about code, you ship it. Production-ready. Thought through. Done.
