Senior Technical Product Manager – (Contract)
Dublin (Hybrid)
12-month contract
€660 per day
We're working with a
global payments technology organisation
on a high-impact contract opportunity for a
Senior Product Manager – Technical
to join a critical platform team operating at massive scale.
This role sits at the intersection of
product, DevOps, and engineering
, and would suit a
senior hands-on DevOps engineer ready to step into a technical product leadership role
, or an experienced PM-T with deep systems and automation expertise.
The Role
You'll act as a
systems-focused Product Manager
, shaping the technical direction of a high-performance, highly available decisioning platform that processes
billions of transactions daily
.
Working closely with engineering, DevOps, operations, and business stakeholders, you'll drive improvements across
CI/CD, automation, observability, resilience, performance, and release management
.
This is a
hybrid role
— part product ownership, part system analysis, and still hands-on where required.
Key Responsibilities
* Own and evolve the technical product backlog end-to-end (Jira)
* Translate complex system behaviour into clear user stories and acceptance criteria
* Lead technical discovery, scoping, and dependency management
* Champion automation-first thinking across the SDLC
* Drive improvements in CI/CD pipelines, release processes, and deployment automation
* Focus on platform scalability, monitoring, self-healing, and resilience
* Collaborate closely with DevOps, engineering, and BizOps teams
* Support and lead Scrum ceremonies and release activities
* Remain hands-on with selected DevOps initiatives based on team capacity
Required Experience
* Strong background in
DevOps / Platform Engineering
* Experience moving toward or operating in a
Technical Product Manager / PM-T role
* Deep knowledge of
CI/CD (Jenkins or similar)
and automation practices
* Experience with
containerisation
(Kubernetes, Docker)
* Strong understanding of
observability & monitoring
(e.g. OpenTelemetry, Dynatrace, Splunk)
* Backend systems experience (preferably
Java
) and APIs (REST, JSON, XML, gRPC)
* Experience with
high-availability, distributed systems
* Agile delivery experience (SAFe exposure a plus)
* Excellent stakeholder communication and systems-thinking mindset
Nice to Have
* Experience in large-scale, regulated or security-focused environments
* Exposure to cloud capacity planning and elastic scaling
* Background in performance engineering or platform reliability
Why Apply?
* Work on
mission-critical platforms at global scale
* Strong daily rate and long-term contract stability
* Hybrid working model in Dublin
* Opportunity to
bridge deep technical execution with product ownership
* Ideal stepping stone into senior technical product leadership
If you're a
senior DevOps engineer ready to influence product direction
, or a
Technical Product Manager who still likes to stay close to the tech
, this is a standout contract opportunity.
