Description
ABOUT THE TEAM AND ROLE:
At Talon.One, we're building the infrastructure behind modern promotions, loyalty, and gamification for some of the world's most forward-thinking brands.
As our engineering organization scales, we are introducing a new Technical Governance and Enablement layer that sits right between Product Engineering, Architecture, and Platform/Infra. We are looking for a Technical Product Manager/Technical Program Manager to become the operational engine, stakeholder shield, and planning partner for this critical new function.
Production Engineering defines how production is run across R&D - from incidents and releases to operational workflows, reliability initiatives, and the systems that help engineers operate safely at scale. We treat this domain as an internal product.
This is not a customer-facing role. It is about bringing structure, focus, and predictability to a highly technical team, turning ambitious reliability and architectural strategies into realistic, data-driven execution plans. You will remove the coordination and operational overhead for engineering leaders so they can focus on scaling and mentoring the team.
ONCE YOU ARE HERE YOU WILL:
- Work hand-in-hand with leadership to design, document, and roll out foundational engineering programs from scratch (e.g., modernizing our incident management framework, on-call training, blameless post-mortem culture, and release governance)
- Standardize incoming channels (Slack, Shortcut, Incident Follow-ups, GTM feedback etc.) to manage ad-hoc chaos, triage operational requests, and protect the focus of SREs and TechOps so they can deliver deep project work. Establish a clear operational intake process ("front door") for the team
- Drive quarterly planning, backlog refinement, sprint readiness, and execution tracking for reliability and Ops initiatives. Own the Production Engineering backlog and continuously improve incident response and release processes
- Coordinate work across Engineering, Platform, Architecture, Product, Support, and Post-sales, managing dependencies and surfacing delivery risks early
- Configure and optimize project management tools (like Jira/Trello) to build clean tracking dashboards and automate intake workflows
- Design the communication loops, tracking dashboards, and engineering reviews that give senior stakeholders clear insight into operational health, incident follow-ups, and tech-debt remediation
- Evolve the metrics (SLOs/SLIs, MTTR, deployment velocity, tech-debt ratios) that guide how we balance shipping new business features with maintaining absolute system reliability
- Enable Architects and engineering leadership with the operational data and planning insights needed for effective capacity planning and prioritization
WHAT WE NEED YOU TO BRING TO THE TABLE:
- Proven experience as a Technical Program Manager or Product Manager within Platform, Infrastructure, SRE, DevOps, or Core Engineering Ecosystems. You understand CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and observability
- Direct experience defining or revamping incident management, post-incident review practices, or release governance frameworks
- Operates effectively in ambiguity, building operational scaffolding from scratch. Comfortable in daily tactical loops with SREs and long-term strategic planning with architects
- Building high-performing engineering processes and leading organizational change that enables teams to scale, adopt new ways of working, and deliver
- Exceptional ability to manage complex cross-team dependencies and negotiate priorities across Product, Engineering, Platform, and Support
- Experience translating raw engineering pain points and incident logs into structured, data-backed business cases for technical debt capacity
- Nice to have: Deep familiarity with Site Reliability Engineering concepts (Error Budgets, SLOs, SLIs, MTTA/MTTR)
- Nice to have: Experience in a high-growth, high-throughput B2B SaaS environment
- 90+ team of engineers, product managers and product designers in Berlin
- Leaders with 8+ years of experience building our promotions engine
- €1,000 annual learning budget and free German language courses to boost your skills
- 30 days of annual leave, plus extra paid days for your birthday and moving day
- Home office setup budget, a monthly home office allowance
- Freedom to work from abroad for up to 90 days worldwide!
- Mental health support with nilo.health and a discounted Urban Sports Club membership
- 20% company subsidy on your pension contributions
- Subsidised BVG public transport ticket and a dog-friendly Berlin office where your furry friend is welcome
- Lease your ideal bike through BusinessBike
WHY YOU SHOULD WORK FOR US:
- The right attitude: modern methods and a diverse, creative workspace with an open and international culture
- Everyone for the product: Together we create a flexible, highly scalable product with state-of-the-art technologies. We can only succeed if everyone works as a team
- Healthy Growth: Growing our company means growing everyone in the team. We love to share knowledge and learn
- A great environment: Flexible and family-friendly environment, bright and easily accessible offices, modern software and hardware
- High flexibility degree: Prefer to work early or late at night? Do you have to pick up your children from kindergarten? Do you prefer working abroad? We believe in results and motivated employees
