We’re looking for a Product Owner to join us at Telia.

I’m Jussi Jääskeläinen, Head of Product & Solution Integration, and I’m searching for someone ready to grow with us. We’re a team focused on evolving Service Hub, which is our in-house product integration and feature add-on platform. You will act as the Product Owner for one of the Service Hub application teams (Thor). It’s a big team with two development tracks.

What you’ll do:

You will have a key role in planning the Program Increments and sprint iterations and work with several Product Managers on feature definition and priorities.

Even though the Product Owner role takes most of your time, this position includes hands-on development work as well. The role combines product thinking, technical decision-making, and hands-on execution, aligned with Scrum and SAFe ways of working. You will:

• Own and evolve the product vision, roadmap, and backlog. 

• Translate business and strategic objectives into clear, implementable technical requirements.

• Actively contribute as a developer (design, coding, reviews, troubleshooting).

• Collaborate daily with developers and DevOps engineers in a shared responsibility model.

• Ensure high quality through DevSecOps practices, automation, and observability.

• Work in distributed, cross-border teams, including close cooperation with our Swedish partner.

• Drive continuous improvement in architecture, reliability, and developer experience.

What will help you thrive in this role:

You are a senior Product Owner with a developer mindset, or a senior developer who has taken strong product ownership responsibilities. You combine technical credibility with clear product thinking.

If you are motivated by building impactful products in close collaboration with engineers, this role could be an excellent fit. You also have:

• Understanding of cloud-native architectures, DevOps, and SRE principles.

• Ability to balance short-term delivery with long-term product sustainability.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• A mindset that promotes psychological safety, openness, and continuous learning.

This role focuses on leading through contribution, clarity, and example.

Our technical stack and engineering environment:

Our Service Hub platform is Java-centric, cloud-native, and built for scalability, reliability, and integration-heavy workloads.

• Core technologies (majority of development): Java (~80%), Spring Boot, Quarkus, WildFly, Vert.x.

• Additional backend & scripting languages: Kotlin, Python (primarily for scripting and automation), Bash, SQL.

• Frontend technologies: TypeScript, Angular.

• Cloud & platform technologies: Kubernetes, Helm, public and sovereign cloud platforms (AWS, UpCloud, Welkin).

• Engineering practices and tooling: GitHub & Jira, DevSecOps, IaC, CI/CD pipelines, observability and monitoring, uutomated testing, including security and penetration testing.

As a technical product owner, you are expected to be comfortable working directly in this stack, even if you do not specialize in every technology.
