Product Owner (Technical) in Vancouver

Hydreight Technologies is looking for a Product Owner with strong technical acumen to support product execution across our platform. This is an onsite role reporting to the Product Leader. You'll act as a bridge between development, UX/UI and business teams, translating priorities into clear, actionable requirements and following through until they're delivered.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate daily with the offshore development team, with working hours aligned to EST to support timely handoffs and follow-up.
• Translate priorities from the Product Leader into epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria within Jira.
• Manage the product backlog and proactively follow up with the responsible team members to keep items moving toward completion.
• Work closely with developers and UX/UI designers day to day so features are well understood and implemented effectively.
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, daily standups, and sprint reviews.
• Communicate functional requirements, user flows, and system behavior clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Validate delivered functionality against acceptance criteria to ensure quality and completeness.
• Review API documentation and work with engineers to define integration requirements and verify API-driven workflows.
• Support the creation of release notes, internal documentation, and user training materials.
• Help collect and organize product usage data and user feedback to support decision-making by the Product Leader.
• Escalate workflow gaps, system dependencies, or technical constraints to the Product Leader rather than resolving them independently.

Required Skills & Experience

• 3+ years of experience as a Product Owner or Business Analyst in a SaaS or B2B platform environment.
• Proven ability to write detailed user stories with clear acceptance criteria.
• Hands-on experience managing Jira (epics, stories, tasks, sprints).
• Solid understanding of APIs, JSON structures, and system integrations, with the ability to read and discuss technical documentation comfortably.
• Familiarity with concepts such as microservices, data modeling, and RESTful architecture.
• Experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment with cross-functional and offshore teams.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced Agile environment and adapting quickly to changing requirements.
• Willingness to work EST hours to overlap with offshore development team coordination.
• Willingness to support occasionally outside standard working hours when required for critical delivery timelines.
• Strong team player who works well with people across different functions and time zones.
• Good communicator who can explain technical ideas in plain terms and keep stakeholders in the loop.
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with B2B platforms, multi-tenant systems, or marketplaces.
• Exposure to payment workflows, scheduling systems, or form builders.
• Understanding of PostgreSQL or relational data modeling.
• Prior experience in healthcare, fintech, or logistics SaaS domains.
• Basic familiarity with UI/UX design principles or tools like Figma or Lucidchart.

Compensation

Base salary in line with experience, plus a performance-based bonus tied to individual and team delivery outcomes.

What We Value

• A problem solver mindset that follows through on execution and knows when to raise something for higher-level judgment.
• A genuine team player who builds trust and works well across offshore and onshore teams.
• Clear, honest communication and transparency.
• A focus on execution, moving things from priority to delivery efficiently.
