• You work closely with Engineering and Architecture to define scalable client architectures, performance standards, and integration patterns.
• You ensure that applications perform reliably and efficiently even on hardware-constrained devices while maintaining functional consistency across different platforms.
• You work closely with Product Experience to enable a consistent customer experience across all HTML5-based TV clients.
• You define relevant product and quality KPIs and continuously monitor application quality, performance, the degree of component reuse, and engineering efficiency.
• You collaborate closely with the other Client Product Owners to ensure consistent technical and functional evolution across the entire TV ecosystem.
• You translate functional and technical requirements into clearly prioritized backlog items and support Engineering teams throughout refinement and implementation.
