[Hiring] Technical Product Owner @Libra Solutions

Role Description

The Technical Product Owner (TPO) plays a critical role in aligning business goals with technical execution, ensuring the successful delivery of high-quality software products. This is not a project management or administrative Scrum Master position. This role is deeply technical, requiring a background in software engineering, solution architecture, or technical systems analysis. The ideal candidate can engage confidently with developers, understand system integrations, and make informed decisions that balance technical feasibility with business value. The TPO will work in close partnership with Product Managers, Technical Solutions Analysts, and the broader Product & Engineering teams to translate strategic roadmaps into actionable engineering deliverables. Strong communication, documentation, and attention to detail are essential, as this role bridges the gap between product vision and hands-on software delivery.

This position reports to the SVP of Engineering and is based in our Las Vegas, NV headquarters. Strong remote candidates in PST, MST or CST will also be considered; occasional travel to Las Vegas may be required.
