They collaborate with the Product Owner to review features for technical implications, review how features are split, planned and organised and with the Proxy Product Owner to ensure technical stories are included in sprint backlogs. The Technical PO also maintains accurate technical documentation (API specifications, ER diagrams, FIA documents) that underpin ROME’s integrations with client systems. Responsibilities: • Own and prioritise the technical backlog, ensuring technical debt, coding improvements, platform upgrades (.NET, Angular, etc.), proofs of concept, and developer-raised enhancements are captured, tracked, and delivered. • Ensure that BDD-style API integration tests are included, prioritised, and improved as part of the technical backlog, maintaining visibility and importance alongside product stories. • Commit to ensuring a percentage of sprint capacity is allocated to technical stories, balancing technical and product priorities. • Review feature updates with the Product Owner for potential architectural impacts; flag and escalate to the Software Architect if a reassessment by the IT Architecture team is required. • Work with the Proxy Product Owner to ensure technical backlog items are visible and decomposed appropriately into sprint-ready stories. • Maintain and update technical documentation (API specifications, ER diagrams, FIA documents), ensuring alignment with client-facing integrations (ROME APIs, CSV exports for client Data Lake). • Collaborate closely with the Software Architect, Technical Lead, QA Lead, and Delivery Lead to ensure technical backlog items align with architecture, quality, and delivery objectives. • Act as the liaison between developers and stakeholders for surfacing and prioritising technical improvements, ensuring technical concerns are represented at the same level of visibility as product stories.
