Role overview
We are seeking a highly technical, execution-driven Product Owner to champion our DevOps Practice. The role bridges strategic business objectives and technical execution, shaping automated infrastructure, deployment workflows, and continuous integration ecosystems while managing the DevOps product backlog and stakeholder communication.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the domain expert driving the optimization of CI/CD pipelines, automated artifact deployments, and self-healing infrastructure.
- Collaborate with tech leads to prioritize technical debt reduction, system architectural upgrades, and automated testing frameworks alongside feature delivery.
- Incorporate Ansible playbooks and automation patterns into standard deployment roadmaps to achieve immutable, predictable environment provisioning.
- Define requirements for robust cloud sync mechanisms, cross-region replication, state management, and high-availability cloud storage/compute frameworks.
- Ensure product roadmaps account for data consistency, security boundaries, and continuous synchronization across hybridized or multi-cloud environments.
- Own, prioritize, and maintain the DevOps practice product backlog, translating high-level business capabilities into clear, actionable epic- and story-level technical requirements.
- Lead Agile ceremonies including backlog grooming, sprint planning, and release planning, ensuring engineering squads have an uninterrupted pipeline of well-defined work.
- Define explicit Acceptance Criteria and Definition of Done tailored for infrastructure, pipeline components, and platform stability.
- Act as the primary interface between core engineering, security compliance, business units, and executive leadership.
- Translate dense, complex engineering achievements or roadblocks into transparent, value-oriented updates for non-technical stakeholders.
- Foster a strong culture of collaboration across siloed operational and development teams, driving the developer‑experience (DevEx) feedback loop to continuously improve tools.
Requirements
- Strong foundational or hands‑on experience in platform engineering, CI/CD pipeline structures (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions), and system infrastructure.
- Practical grasp of deployment patterns (Blue/Green, Canary, Rolling updates) and continuous delivery paradigms.
- Direct experience writing or managing Ansible playbooks, roles, and modules for automated configuration management and orchestration.
- Good understanding of major cloud ecosystems (AWS, Azure, or GCP) with specialized focus on cloud synchronization, storage replicas, and networking configurations.
- Proven track record acting as a Product Owner or Technical Product Manager within a mature Scrum or Kanban framework.
- Demonstrated capability to manage diverse, conflicting expectations from engineering teams, security officers, and business leaders.
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; ability to distill complex architectural concepts into clear, high‑level business narratives.
- A team‑first attitude with the cross‑functional leadership presence required to guide engineering squads without authoritative mandate.
- 8-10 years of experience.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical industry experience.
Nice to have
- Any active Cloud Practitioner or DevOps Engineer certifications (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Red Hat Ansible).
- Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) or Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) designation.
Additional details
- Bosch Global Software Technologies Private Limited is a 100% owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH, one of the world's leading global supplier of technology and services.
- The company has over 27,000+ associates, making it the largest software development center of Bosch outside Germany, and is a Technology Powerhouse in India with a global footprint and presence in the US, Europe and the Asia Pacific region.
- The role will not just manage a backlog; it will shape the future of our automated infrastructure, deployment workflows, and continuous integration ecosystems.
