About The Position

At Platform Science, we’re working to connect everything that moves. Founded in 2015, we are an open IoT platform that partners with innovative fleets, application developers, vehicle manufacturers, and equipment providers in the transportation industry to deliver revolutionary solutions to supply chain professionals across the globe. Our employees are an engaging, diverse group of people who believe in the power of great ideas. We hire people with different experiences and perspectives to build a company culture that fuels growth through innovation. We value thoughtful actions and empathy for others. We approach challenges with resiliency and creativity, while encouraging transparency because, no matter our backgrounds or responsibilities, we are one team. As a Product Owner at Platform Science, you'll be embedded with engineering teams to turn product strategy into shipped software, fast and with precision. You'll be the connective tissue between customers, stakeholders, and developers, ensuring the "why" behind every requirement is as clear as the "what." You'll work in a dynamic environment where AI tools and evolving development practices are reshaping how product teams operate. If you're energized by that, and by writing specs that engineering teams can actually build from, we want to talk to you.
