Senior Technical Business Analyst / Product Owner

About Us

At Suntech Innovation, we specialize in product R&D for the iGaming market. Our mission is to pioneer advanced cutting‑edge platforms that redefine user engagement and elevate the global interactive gaming ecosystem.

The product is built on a modern technology stack, with teams dedicated to driving long‑term growth, stability, and innovation within a mature Agile environment and a strong engineering culture.

About the team

We are a focused engineering team of 5 to 9 people at a multi‑product tech SaaS company. We work across personalization, recommendation, fraud detection, and some GenAI, through real‑time, near‑real‑time, and batch pipelines. The team is a blend of Python backend engineers, ML engineers, QA (manual and automation), a data engineer, and data scientists. Our shared mandate is to take experimentation from our data scientists and turn it into robust, production‑grade systems, either as standalone services or integrated into wider platforms.

Role description

You will be the bridge between business stakeholders and the engineers building our systems, owning requirements and the flow of work into the team. You will gather and refine requirements, spec them into clear, buildable work items after refinement, keep the backlog prioritized, and interface with product, business, and other teams on scope, dependencies, and interfaces. You will translate fluently in both directions: business intent into technical detail, and technical constraints back into business terms.

Key Responsibilities

• Gather, refine, and spec requirements into clear, buildable work items with acceptance criteria
• Run refinement sessions and keep the backlog groomed and prioritized
• Interface with product, business, and other engineering teams on scope, dependencies, and interfaces
• Translate between business intent and technical detail in both directions
• Track delivery and keep stakeholders aligned on progress, trade-offs, and timelines
• Support the team's planning and prioritization

Requirements

• 5+ years as a Business Analyst or Product Owner, ideally on data or backend-heavy products
• Strong requirements gathering, refinement, and writing: clear specs and acceptance criteria
• Comfortable with technical concepts such as APIs, data pipelines, and ML systems, enough to spec them credibly
• Confident stakeholder management and communication
• Agile and backlog management experience
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving

Desirable

• Exposure to data or ML products
• SQL
• Familiarity with fraud detection, recommendation systems, or personalization
• SaaS or high-scale product domain experience
