Technical Product Owner – C++ SDK & ImFusion Suite

We are looking for an experienced Technical Product Owner to take ownership of our C++ SDK, which forms the core of our software platform and serves as the foundation for the majority of our engineering work, products, and customer projects. You will shape the product direction, roadmap, priorities, and release process while working closely with software engineers, our Lead Architect, product teams, and business stakeholders. The role is designed to grow into functional and people leadership responsibility for engineers working on the C++ SDK and ImFusion Suite.

• You are a systems thinker who can understand a complex technical ecosystem, connect the individual pieces, and maintain sight of the bigger picture. • You combine genuine technical curiosity with a strong product mindset and a desire to create impact beyond implementation. • You bring clarity and structure to ambiguous situations without oversimplifying technical complexity. • You listen to different perspectives but are comfortable challenging assumptions, setting boundaries, and saying no when necessary—regardless of seniority or role. • You communicate confidently with engineers, scientists, product teams, customers, and management and build trust across these groups. • You take ownership, follow through, and proactively address risks and obstacles. • You lead through trust, constructive feedback, sound judgement, and a genuine interest in helping others grow. • Several years of experience as a software engineer, giving you a solid understanding of programming and software development. • Subsequent experience owning or coordinating a technically complex software product, platform, or large-scale engineering initiative. • Experience developing roadmaps, managing requirements, setting priorities, and coordinating delivery across multiple teams and stakeholders. • Experience coordinating, mentoring, or enabling software engineers; previous formal leadership experience is a plus. • A strong understanding of APIs, software architecture, testing, technical debt, maintainability, versioning, and backwards compatibility. • Experience with capacity and resource planning, including translating roadmap needs into staffing or hiring requirements. • Hands-on experience adapting SDK requirements, architecture, and product roadmaps to advances in AI.
