The Role TripArc is hiring a Technical Product Owner to work alongside our Software Design Architecture team, owning the cross-platform view that individual delivery squads can't maintain on their own. You sit across the platform — documenting how shared services connect, coordinating version currency across the stack, managing the intake of new services being elevated from squad-owned to platform-agnostic, and ensuring architectural decisions are captured and communicated where they need to land. You bring strong technical instincts, a working understanding of modern AI tooling, and the SDLC fluency to operate confidently from discovery through deployment.

What You'll Work On Platform service governance Maintaining oversight of TripArc's shared platform services such as brand services, payment gateway, rules engine, profile service (ACAVE), media service, access control API, the TripArc Core C# library, and the Nexus component library — tracking ownership, health, and readiness as services mature from squad-level to platform-agnostic. Version and maintenance coordination Coordinating scheduled upgrades across platform services, bringing together the right engineering skills, scheduling the work, and tracking it to completion. An ongoing operational responsibility.

Architecture and integration documentation Working with the Architecture team to document service contracts, integration patterns, and platform decisions in Confluence including data flow diagrams, dependency maps, API summaries, and decision logs.
