TL;DR · Technical Product Owner, Enterprise Search & AI

The Technical Product Owner, Enterprise Search & AI serves as the operational bridge between strategic platform roadmaps and technical sprint execution for the enterprise search ecosystem. Working as an individual contributor within a cross-functional pod, you will deconstruct high-level business needs into actionable technical requirements for search infrastructure, AI-powered retrieval, and digital experience platforms. Key responsibilities include backlog engineering, prioritizing tactical tasks to optimize sprint velocity, and providing guidance during agile ceremonies. You will manage requirements for search API enhancements, ingestion pipelines, and index architecture changes. The role requires expertise in hybrid retrieval, semantic search, RAG-enabled experiences, LLM grounding, and agentic AI use cases. You will utilize skills in infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and user acceptance testing to ensure high-performance search relevance and API response times.

What you'll do

  • Translate long-term search and AI platform visions into detailed user stories, technical specifications, and acceptance criteria.
  • Own and prioritize the daily pod-level backlog to optimize sprint velocity and engineering throughput.
  • Provide daily execution guidance to tech leads and vendor engineers during agile ceremonies to ensure alignment on technical requirements.
  • Serve as the gatekeeper for user acceptance testing to verify that artifacts meet benchmarks for performance, accuracy, and API response times.
  • Monitor platform utilization and adoption metrics to funnel real-world feedback on search relevance and AI effectiveness back to leadership.
  • Define product requirements for the evolution of hybrid retrieval, RAG pipelines, and agentic AI use cases.
  • Map and govern dependencies across interconnected search, content, and AI platform modules to manage release schedules.
  • Co-own product release schedules, software quality metrics, and business value KPIs with cross-functional partners.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or another technical field.
  • Seven years of experience in technical product ownership, product management, or software engineering.
  • Three years of experience owning or managing search, data platform, or AI-driven product portfolios.
  • Experience working in a private, public, government, or military environment.
  • Ability to work on-site at least four days a week in Maplewood, MN, or Austin, TX.
  • Ability to travel up to 10% domestically or internationally.
