• Champion operational efficiency by designing better troubleshooting tools, diagnostics, self-healing mechanisms, and automated monitoring.
• Lead incident response and postmortems, reducing MTTR and improving fleet-wide reliability.

Collaboration & Leadership

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship for engineers across POS teams.
• Drive architectural discussions, propose foundational improvements, and establish engineering best practices.
• Guide cross-team initiatives and represent the POS Foundation in design reviews, rollout planning, and vendor interactions.

Minimum Requirements:

• 7+ years of engineering experience with a strong emphasis on Oracle Xstore (POS and Back Office), including customizations and environment management.
• Proven experience performing Xstore upgrades, patching, platform migrations, and architectural modernization.
• Deep understanding of retail store POS operations, system flows, configuration frameworks, and store-level constraints.

• Demonstrated ability to lead large technical initiatives with multiple stakeholders.
• Excellent communication skills and an ability to work cross-functionally with Ops, Security, Infrastructure, and Field teams.

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience supporting international POS deployments involving fiscalization, tax rules, receipt formats, and local compliance frameworks.
• Strong understanding of store networking fundamentals, deployment patterns, and offline/failover strategies.

• Lead product readiness and expansion of Apple Business Messages and additional strategic communication channels

Qualifications

• 5–8+ years of Product Management experience within SaaS, platform, or lifecycle engagement environments

• Strong analytical mindset with experience in funnel metrics, experimentation, retention analytics, and performance measurement
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional execution across engineering, design, data, compliance, and operations

• Define success metrics and build instrumentation plans to measure adoption, retention, and revenue impact
• Conduct dealership and end-user discovery to validate needs and refine product direction
• Influence go-to-market strategy including packaging, positioning, and launch plans
• Drive execution excellence: write high-quality PRDs, prioritize effectively, manage tradeoffs, and deliver iterative, measurable outcomes
