What will you do?

• Act as a Hands-On "Player-Coach": Serve as the dedicated, hands-on Product Owner on our most strategic and complex AWS cloud-native application development projects, taking direct ownership of their success.   

• Own and Drive Product Vision: For your assigned projects, you will own the product vision and strategic roadmap. You will manage the product backlog, prioritizing features to maximize the value delivered to the client in every sprint.
