Product Owner (Polish required)

About LeanCode

LeanCode is a software studio based in Warsaw (Poland) with a strong focus on building great products that matter. We are a team of 60+ skillful developers, UX designers, and product owners. Our mission is to solve real-life problems using cutting-edge technologies.

Our clients represent different industries, from banking and insurance through retail and Medtech products up to SaaS solutions. This gives our team plenty of room to explore new businesses and master challenging domains.

We work for companies from all over the world (at the moment, that is: Poland, Germany, UK, the USA, Australia). We join forces with the clients at the very early stage of the process. Thanks to that, we have a substantial impact on not only the organizational aspects of the project but also on how the developed product actually works and looks. This approach requires very close cooperation with the clients, including frequent workshops and day-to-day meetings with them.

At LeanCode, we actively use SCRUM with all its artifacts and ceremonies. Our self-organizing development teams are headed by Product Owners, who are responsible for delivering digital products in close cooperation with the Business Owners on the client side. Our approach guarantees the best organization and the highest efficiency, contributing to a great atmosphere within the project teams. This approach is also both demanding and challenging for the Product Owners who need to better understand the business environment for their projects. Therefore this role is suited for candidates who are willing to develop and learn new business skills while delivering state-of-the-art digital solutions.

We are currently looking for experienced professionals who can join our team in the Product Owner role. In this position, you will have a great impact on the new digital products created for our clients and their end customers. 

There’s a catch in this offer, though… You’ll probably have to learn how to play table soccer or table tennis if you join us ;)

As a Product Owner at LeanCode, you will bring the client’s vision to life by working in SCRUM.
