Senior Product Owner

Bragi was founded in 2013 and launched the worlds first Truly Wireless Earphones in 2015 (yes a whole 12 months before the Airpods...)

Since then we have evolved from a promising startup to a market-moving creator of innovative technology opening the new category of Truly Wireless Earphones. Bragi transformed into a software enabler for consumer brands focusing on scaling its technology after investing more than $90 million in software and AI.

Now we are a leader in the AI headphone space known for our smart devices that integrate seamlessly into users lives. With a focus on innovation and user experience we are driving the evolution of wearable technology.

Senior Product Owner

Youll own delivery for a cross-functional squad (510 people) working at the intersection of embedded/mobile software and AI-driven audio. This isnt just backlog management; youre the gatekeeper between what gets promised and what the team can actually deliver and the owner of requirement quality before work ever hits a sprint.

This is a remote role but you are welcome to join us in the Munich office

What you will be working on

• Drive AI-audio feature delivery end-to-end whether through your own contribution strategic partners or third-party developers on our app store
• Act as the single intake point for new work gating commitments on capacity sign-off before dates go external and escalating when roadmap and customer priorities compete for the same team
• Own backlog quality against a real Definition of Ready (acceptance criteria user journeys domain sign-off) with requirements locked and versioned rather than edited after the fact
• Partner with your PM to turn roadmap and priorities into a realistic execution plan grounded in actual team capacity and milestones
• Govern cross-team and partner dependencies by coordinating with other POs and setting acceptance criteria for intake streams (internal components firmware hardware or similar) feeding your releases
• Run a real go/no-go release gate together with release management pushing quality left through a living Definition of Done and developers who smoke-test so QA isnt the only line of defense
• Surface risk early and keep delivery transparent and predictable

What you will need

• 5 years as a PO or Delivery Lead shipping complex enterprise-grade software in a scaled agile setup with multiple scrum teams
• Experience delivering complex embedded or mobile products with strong agile fluency
• Proven ability to lead 510 person cross-functional teams (mobile development cloud engineers QA UI-UX) with clear confident communication
• Comfort making calls in ambiguity autonomously in a remote working setup
• Strong track record of pushing back on commitments made without capacity sign-off and negotiating trade-offs across stakeholders
• Experience owning technical dependencies end-to-end from internal handoffs to external partners (components firmware hardware or similar)
• Experience using AI tools to improve efficiency and quality

Nice to have

• Audio industry background
• Applied AI/ML experience or a broader ML/AI background
  
• Embedded IoT or wearables experience

• Background as an Embedded or Mobile developer

What we offer

• A flexible Learning & Development program choose where you want to improve yourself
