Technical Product Owner

About the Job

As Technical Product Owner at Allianz Technology, you own the shared technical foundation of the Sales Digital Workstation (SDW), a global, micro-frontend-based CRM platform serving Allianz Operating Entities across Europe and beyond. You will lead the design, delivery, and evolution of the shared platform layer: the micro-frontend shell, MFE integration standards, and the platform-side configuration of the API gateway (Apigee) and CDN/caching (Akamai). You set the platform direction that the Operation Team provisions and operates day-to-day. This is a hands-on technical leadership role combining the depth of a Tech Lead with the strategic scope of a Technical Product Owner.

What you do

• Own and evolve the SDW micro-frontend platform: the Sales Portal shell, MFE integration contracts, shared Angular libraries, and cross-cutting platform services relied upon by 10+ product squads across multiple Operating Entities.
• Define and maintain the SDW platform roadmap, translating MFE team pain points and Sales Operations operational feedback into a prioritized backlog of platform improvements.
• Define the platform-side Apigee API gateway configuration in partnership with Architecture (standards) and Operations (provisioning): OIDC proxy configuration, Token Handler flows, Configuration-as-Code (CaC) migration, MFE KVM management, and per-country broker authentication patterns.
• Define the CDN and caching strategy (Akamai) for MFE static assets — cache invalidation policy on release, SSR cache management approach, and frontend performance optimization — with stage-specific operational configuration executed by the Operation Team.
• Partner with Architecture (SLO definition) and Sales Operations on platform-level SLOs, and contribute to Dynatrace monitoring design and post-incident platform improvements (alerting quality, false positive reduction, cascade suppression, and synthetic monitor coverage are executed day-to-day by the Operation Team).
• Govern MFE integration standards: integration type selection (Page / Module / Modal MFE), context-path conventions, NDBX design system compliance, Angular version alignment, and WCAG 2.2 accessibility requirements.
• Act as Technical Product Owner for the SDW platform backlog: own platform roadmap and prioritization, communicate platform decisions and breaking changes across SDW squads, manage rollout sequencing and deprecation timelines, and maintain self-service onboarding documentation. Translate platform requirements into clear specifications that the Operation Team provisions and operates.
• Represent SDW platform decisions in Architecture reviews and Allianz global tech governance forums, and drive adoption of shared platform solutions across Operating Entities.

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
• 7+ years of experience in frontend or platform engineering, with at least 2 years in a technical leadership or platform ownership role.
• Proven experience designing and operating micro-frontend platforms at scale: module federation, shell/MFE contracts, cross-MFE communication, and Angular version alignment strategies across large multi-team codebases.
• Hands-on experience with Apigee: proxy configuration, OIDC/OAuth 2.0 flows, Token Handler pattern, KVM management, and multi-country/multi-IDP broker configurations.
• Hands-on CDN and caching experience (Akamai or equivalent): static asset delivery, cache invalidation, SSR cache management, and frontend performance optimization (Lighthouse, bundle analysis).
• Working understanding of CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins or equivalent, pipeline-as-code, shared library management, credential governance, container security scanning such as WIZ) — sufficient to align with the Operation Team, which owns the shared CI/CD pipeline library.
• Nice to have: working understanding of Kubernetes/EKS operations (resource sizing, namespace management, Terraform-based IaC for AWS) and observability tooling (Dynatrace or equivalent APM, alerting profile design, SLO definition, synthetic monitoring), sufficient to align with Architecture and Operations stakeholders.
• Ability to operate as Technical Product Owner: backlog ownership, roadmap communication, and stakeholder alignment across multiple independently operating product teams.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex platform decisions for both engineering squads and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience in global, multi-country enterprise platform delivery with mixed-seniority cross-functional teams and proven ability to drive technical alignment across independently operating squads.

What we offer

• We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration.
• We believe in rewarding performance, and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program, and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).
• From career development and digital learning programs to international career mobility, we offer lifelong learning for our employees worldwide and an environment where innovation, delivery, and empowerment are fostered.
• Flexible working, health, and wellbeing offers (including healthcare and parental leave benefits) support balancing family and career and help our people return from career breaks with valuable experience.
• Work from home allowance.
• Comprehensive health insurance extends beyond employees to cover their loved ones.
• We offer a premium gym membership to support well-being and a healthy work-life balance.
• An on-site playroom and a variety of engaging activities are available to help employees unwind and recharge.
