Technical Product Owner – AI Agent

Technical Product Owner – AI Agent About the role Are you a product owner with a strong technical backbone, ready to shape an AI agent that changes how a global fintech builds software? At SimCorp, we are developing an internal AI agent that supports the software development lifecycle (SDLC) — helping engineers investigate code, analyze CI failures, review pull requests, work with backlog items, and automate recurring tasks through secure integrations with most of our internal engineering systems. As Technical Product Owner, you will combine traditional Product Owner responsibilities with a strong focus on technical feasibility, architecture, integrations, and engineering alignment. You will maximize the value the agent delivers to its users — SimCorp's own engineers — while ensuring that solutions are technically sound, architecturally aligned, and that the team can deliver efficiently. You will collaborate with a system architect/Tech lead, supporting the team end to end: from discovery and prioritization through refinement, implementation, and acceptance.
