Your Role

Great software needs more than strong development teams. It needs a platform that makes development easier, safer, and more efficient.

That's why we at Untis are developing an Internal Developer Platform as a product – for our own development teams, with whom we work together daily. It forms the common foundation for the development teams and is the simplest and most effective way to develop, deploy, and operate software.

We want our teams to focus on developing great products instead of repeatedly solving the same problems. Through self-service offerings, aligned golden paths, and well-thought-out standards, we create a platform that accelerates development, simplifies collaboration, and considers security and reliability from the outset.

As a Product Owner, you will shape the future of our internal developer platform together with our Foundation Team. You will develop its long-term product vision and ensure that we develop it where it creates the greatest value for our development teams. You will find the right balance between today's requirements, the further development of existing solutions, and the challenges of tomorrow. You will bring different stakeholders together, make prioritization decisions, and create orientation for long-term platform investments.

We are not looking for someone who manages an existing roadmap or backlogs. We are looking for a visionary personality who actively drives change, inspires people, and shapes the future of platform engineering at Untis together with our team.

Our success is not measured by whether development teams must use our platform – but whether they want to use it.

Your Mission

• You develop our platform as a product: Together with the team, you develop a long-term vision for our Internal Developer Platform and ensure that it consistently develops in the direction of this vision.
• You understand our development teams: You actively seek exchange with our product teams, understand their working methods, and recognize recurring challenges. Together, you develop solutions that create the greatest possible value for as many teams as possible.
• You make conscious investment decisions: You do not prioritize individual features but decide together with your stakeholders where investments in platform, infrastructure, and technical development create the greatest benefit.
• You develop the best standard path: You develop our platform so that the best standard path for our development teams becomes the most obvious decision – and conscious deviations remain possible, transparent, and comprehensible at all times.
• You create orientation: You bring together different perspectives, moderate conflicts of interest, and advocate a clear vision for the further development of our platform.
• You shape change: You accompany strategic platform initiatives across team boundaries and inspire people for changes that make our development teams more successful in the long term.

Essential Skills for Your Mission

What Sets You Apart

• You have already built or significantly developed an Internal Developer Platform as a product: We are deliberately looking for someone who has already been through this journey. You know from your own experience what challenges arise, what approaches prove effective, and how a technical platform becomes a product that development teams love to use.
• You have already taken responsibility for a product: You think in terms of products rather than projects, develop long-term visions, and make prioritization decisions with a view to the greatest possible benefit for your users.
• You understand the challenges of modern software development: You have worked in a technical environment yourself and know the daily challenges of development teams from your own experience. You do not have to be able to implement technologies yourself – but you understand their value and can assess which investments create the greatest benefit for our development teams.
• You inspire people for change: You convince with good arguments instead of hierarchy. You bring together different perspectives, create orientation, and win people over for common goals.
• You create understanding: You communicate confidently in German (at least C1) and English and manage to bring together different perspectives. You can explain complex technical topics comprehensibly. If your German is not yet perfect, we would be happy to support you in further developing it.
• You handle uncertainty confidently: Not every decision can be secured in advance. You make well-founded decisions based on the available information, regularly review them, and adjust the course when new insights emerge.

Why You Can Make a Difference at Untis

• You shape a platform with impact: Your decisions do not only affect a single product, but all development teams at Untis. Together, we develop the technical foundation on which our software is created. Every improvement to our platform enables our development teams to develop better products for our customers.
• Our Internal Developer Platform is a long-term investment: We continuously develop it and thus create the technical foundation for our product development.
• You work with an experienced platform team: You can expect a team of experienced platform engineers who understand platform engineering as a product and develop it with passion. Together, we share the goal of supporting development teams as best as possible and clearing the way for them.
• You get real scope for action: We are not looking for someone who manages existing processes. We are looking for a personality who shapes our platform in the long term, brings in new ideas, and develops platform engineering at Untis together with us.
