Product Owner (80-100%, Zurich Hybrid)

VSHN, pronounced like “vision,” specializes in supporting software development teams to make their work testable, deployable, scalable, and operable in any cloud environment, with a focus on efficiency and automation. We achieve this by providing self-service platform products like APPUiO and Application Catalog to developers and also by leveraging that to build custom solutions that ease the development and deployment cycle, sharing application operations responsibility through close collaboration with developers.

Your New Role: Product Owner, AppFlow and AppOps Team

As the Product Owner, you will bridge the gap between our internal customer representatives (Account Managers) and other stakeholders to strategize, plan your team's sprint work, and balance day-to-day operations, supported by Pre-Sales Solution Architects and a Scrum Master for the meta-level. You will also lead the transformation of our AppFlow and AppOps offerings from custom services to more standardized, automated products over time. This role involves closely working with strategy roles and other POs, aligning with actual customer demands and company strategy. Let's get going together!

AppFlow and AppOps Explained

• AppFlow streamlines the journey from development to production, focusing on continuous building, testing, packaging, and deployment.
• AppOps is about crafting and managing the optimal hosting environment, emphasizing automation, observability, and security to ensure smooth application operations on "any" cloud.

Your mission is to evolve these offerings into more standardized and reproducible products while creating customer value from day 1.  You'll take the lead for this, with robust support from your Team, Strategists, and Solution Architects

Company culture

As an organization, we thrive on diversity and self-management, orienting ourselves on Agile and Sociocracy 3.0 principles. We emphasize transparency, collaboration, and common goals, valuing Scrum-like workflows in our tech teams. Decisions at VSHN are made collaboratively, valuing reasoned arguments over hierarchical positions - we trust in self-responsibility in everyone, in people who share the responsibility of their team, and that decisions happen with the subject-matter experts, in our teams where we face the day-to-day challenges while getting the best possible support from the wider organization.
