We use AI to accelerate – not to replace thinking.
We design the system, steer the output, and take responsibility for what we ship.
Fast where it makes sense. Careful where it matters.

 

Your mission

Own the backbone of our data services. You don’t need to know everything – but you make sure things work, scale, and stay reliable.

As a Junior Technical Product Owner (f/m/d), turn complexity into clarity and help us build stable, scalable software.

  • Translate business needs into clear, actionable technical requirements for engineering teams

  • Collaborate closely with Data Engineers: refine requirements, define test cases, and continuously learn about architectures and data flows

  • Keep the bigger picture in mind: guide features from initial idea through development, rollout, and ongoing operation

  • Use your digital toolkit (Git, Jenkins, monitoring dashboards, etc.) to maintain visibility and control over system health

  • Bring structure to complexity and help move services from “working” to “reliable at scale”

Your skills

We value the right mindset over perfect experience – bring curiosity, ownership, and a willingness to learn.

  • Hold a degree in (Business) Informatics or a related field

  • Bring initial experience as a Technical Product Owner / Product Manager – or demonstrate strong technical affinity and the ambition to grow into the role

  • Develop a solid technical understanding: concepts like TDD, ETL, and monitoring tools (e.g. Grafana, Graylog) should not be unfamiliar

  • Communicate effectively in an agile environment: understand developers, speak their language, and translate problems into clear solutions

  • Work independently, take ownership, and focus on pragmatic solutions

  • Communicate clearly and honestly – and don’t shy away from asking the right questions

Nice to have:
Experience working with data, exposure to microservices, or familiarity with the AdTech environment — if not, we’ll help you get there.

Why you’ll love working with us

  • Ownership over tickets: You’re trusted with real responsibility, not just tasks. No unnecessary bureaucracy, no micromanagement – we rely on you to take things forward.

  • Build > Talk: We test what works – not what sounds good. Fail fast, learn faster.

  • High standards, low ego: We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Direct feedback, honest collaboration, no drama.

  • Stay sharp: Hackathons, conferences, community – we invest in your growth and keep you at the cutting edge.

  • And yes – the fundamentals are covered too: 30 days of vacation + Dec 24 & 31 off, Smart Fridays (4 days week possible), mobility (Germany ticket & JobRad), sports & health offerings, mental health support, corporate benefits, RTL+ access, and more.

Your CV is just the starting point.

What matters more to us than your resume: a portfolio, a side project, a demo repo – anything that shows you don’t just talk about code, you ship it. Production-ready. Thought through. Done.

smartclip ist bestrebt, ein diverses und inklusives Umfeld zu schaffen. Alle qualifizierten Bewerber*innen werden für die Anstellung in Erwägung gezogen, unabhängig von Ethnizität, Nationalität, Alter, Geschlecht, Geschlechtsidentität, Religion, sexueller Orientierung, Behinderung, oder anderen diversen Eigenschaften.
