**Job Description**
-----------------------
### **Context**
**At Hello Pomelo, the Product Engineer bridges the gap between product vision and technical reality — without requiring intermediaries in either direction.**
They understand why an architectural decision impacts a roadmap. They automate tasks still handled manually by a Product Owner. They read a client’s IT architecture diagram and know exactly how to act upon it.
This role lies at the heart of our delivery transformation: fewer silos, greater autonomy, and the ability to bring our clients along where it truly matters.
### **Your Responsibilities**
### **Pre\-Sales Phase \- Technical Credibility Supporting Sales**
* You decode a prospect’s IT architecture ahead of the pitch: technology stack, technical debt, critical integration points. You justify architectural decisions based on value delivered to the client.
* You produce functional PoCs and architectural analyses that ground our offering in concrete evidence.
* You identify CIO buying signals and translate business challenges into quantified application scope (time to value, ROI).
### **Scoping Phase \- You Orchestrate Technical Understanding and User Experience**
* Co-lead discovery workshops alongside the Project Director. Become a deep domain expert in your client’s business.
* Participate in user interviews with the UX/UI expert.

* You orchestrate technical scoping and possess a fine-grained understanding of your client’s IT architecture priorities.
### **️Development Phase \- You Industrialize Delivery**
* Implement agent-based automation across delivery: specification generation, quality tracking, client reporting. You master AI workflows and deploy them concretely.
* Serve as the primary client and dev team contact point: you speak both languages fluently, without intermediaries.
* Ensure product quality in coordination with QA engineers; coordinate MEPs (Major Enhancement Projects).
* Lead product tracking: define events, analyze data, and make informed decisions accordingly.
### **✌️Company Responsibilities**
* Participate in side projects: recruitment, communications, team training, partnership development, onboarding, AI process initiatives.
* Integrate into the product team’s roadmap and ensure continuous skill development.
### **Your Team**
