Technical Product Owner (E-commerce Platform)

We're looking for a Technical Product Owner who thrives at the intersection of technology, performance, and training culture. This role is for someone who understands modern web architectures and cares deeply about building digital platforms as durable and high-performing as the equipment they support.

You'll own the technical execution of our mobile app, built with React Native, initially focusing 100% on delivering a fast, reliable, and performance-driven experience for athletes and strength enthusiasts. As the product evolves, this role will expand to support both the mobile app and our broader e-commerce ecosystem.

Working closely with engineering, QA, and business stakeholders, you'll help guide a modern platform powered by Node.js microservices and a custom Vue 3 SSR frontend, translating complex technical concepts into clear priorities. Your work will ensure our digital experiences scale, perform under peak demand, and meet the same high standards as the equipment our community relies on.

Your work will directly impact how serious strength athletes discover, configure, and purchase the gear they use every day-whether they're outfitting a garage gym or preparing for competition.
