Product Owner (m/f/d) - FlixTrain Tech Stream

At Flix, we offer a tech-driven environment where innovation meets real-world impact, with competitive pay, strong growth opportunities, and a culture of collaboration and ownership. 

We're looking for a motivated and driven Product Owner who will help us shape team Pantograph as part of FlixTrain Tech organization.

FlixTrain has ordered Talgo 230 trains with delivery starting in 2028 . To operate these trains legally in the EU, we must successfully complete TSI-compliant train homologation . This includes certifying and integrating several train-side systems (Passenger Information, Telemetry & Diagnostics, CCTV, Onboard Unit, etc.) with Flix wayside systems.

To meet a tight feature-freeze window on the train side and enable end‑to‑end tests , we are forming a dedicated integration team. This team will build and operate critical middleware and integrations (e.g. mTLS Proxy, VPN, MQTT messaging, certificate management, telemetry & diagnostics flows) between the trains and Flix's backend landscape.

If you enjoy complex technical projects , hard deadlines , and driving alignment across multiple internal and external partners, this is a unique opportunity to shape the future of train mobility at Flix.

After the 2026 integration and testing deadlines are met, the team will shift from a project-style, integration‑heavy focus towards ongoing product development . The same platforms we build now for end‑to‑end tests will become the core product surface that powers future fleet operations.

About the Role

• Define and drive the product vision for FlixTrain's train‑to‑backend integration layer
• Own and refine a highly technical backlog, covering areas such as mTLS proxying, VPN connectivity, MQTT messaging, certificate lifecycle automation, and data ingestion flows
• Coordinate with other Product Owners on cross‑team capabilities, shared roadmaps, and interface alignment across Flix's wider mobility and operational ecosystem
• Lead cross‑organization integration work with train manufacturers, subsystem vendors, and internal platform teams, ensuring structured risk management process
• Balance speed of delivery with engineering quality and maintainable solutions
• Make data-driven decisions to continuously optimize product outcomes

About You

• 3–5 years of experience as a Product Owner, with solid project management skills and a demonstrated ability to collaborate successfully with cross-functional product teams
• You bring strong technical understanding that enables meaningful discussions with engineers on APIs, messaging, networking, security (certificates, authentication/authorization), observability, and cloud infrastructure, with the ability to assess implications for scope, risks, and timelines
• You bring ownership, curiosity and a positive attitude to a high‑stakes, complex environment
• Deep understanding of Agile software product development principles and techniques, including User Story Mapping, Impact Mapping, Lean, and Design Thinking, with a proven ability to apply them to drive product vision, prioritize work, and deliver customer value effectively
• You enjoy working in an international environment and across organizational boundaries
• Experience working with external vendors / partners on technical integrations is a strong plus
• Fluent in English

We recognize that everyone carries a unique set of valuable skills and experiences. If you think you could have an impact even though you don't meet 100% of the requirements, we still encourage you to apply. We want to hear from you!
