Product Owner Virtual Machines Azure & AWS

As Area Engineering Platforms (EP) within the Tribe Tech4Engineering it is our mission to ‘deliver intuitive, compliant-by-design solutions that empower engineers to focus on driving business value’.  

Our solutions can be defined as: Portals, Virtual Machines, Container Platforms, Databases, Data & Analytics, Cloud Integration solutions, managed Cloud Platforms (Azure, AWS, Google), and Software Defined Infrastructure platform. These solutions are consumed by 8.000 DevOps engineers, including the global regions North-America, South-America, Asia and Oceania. To simplify their engineering journey, we need to lower their cognitive load. Means for that are simplification of our solutions and using centralized standards across the Rabobank.  

Our Area’s main goal for 2024-2025 is: ‘our simplified service portfolio allows services to be combined into (bigger) Managed Standardized Services (MSSs), creating the first Golden Paths. We do this in co-creation with consumers, data-driven & automated with global availability.’  

Your Product as PO 

One of the biggest changes on standardization and moving higher in the technology stack will be around Virtual Machines. Apart from the technical implementation, it means another way of looking at your application as consumer of our MSS. Early Q4 2024 we as Area will be going live with our MSS VMs Public Cloud (Azure & AWS). All consumers with VMs will need to migrate to the MSS in 2025. You connect via interpersonal relations and work in cooperation with our consumers to make this migration a success. Once we celebrate this collaboration, bear with us, we actually don’t want VMs in public Cloud at all. We would like to move higher in the tech stack. Excited to figure out your role in this? We are, because we believe in the strength of every unique individual and will certainly utilize this. Next to that, you surely are able to contribute to Area topics, like those of the Chapter POs, along the way. 

We are seeking a dedicated Product Owner, as a new position. You will start in this role without a dedicated squad. It allows you the opportunity to help shape your own squad as part of the Area Leadership team. We do this jointly! You will already start to work with the POs of the services you consume for your MSS.
