Job description

Company Overview

BotCity brings governance to the code AI writes. AI turned asking into code, and every business user is now a developer. The Python they generate runs on corporate workstations outside any pipeline, inventory, or approval flow, and nothing in the enterprise stack was built to see it. BotCity Sentinel governs that code where it runs: a script-level inventory of what executes, where, and by whom, contextual policies that allow, alert, or block, and a remediation loop where the author makes the first fix. Security asks whether code is malicious. Governance asks whether it should run, here, by this person. We built Sentinel to own the second question. Today it's Python. Tomorrow it's every line of code AI writes.

BotCity serves 1000+ teams in 70+ countries, including customers as Bayer and LG. We raised a $12M Series A led by Four Rivers, with participation from Y Combinator, SoftBank, and founders and investors including Lew Cirne (New Relic), Rod Johnson (SpringSource), and Walter Kortschak (Summit Partners and Firestreak Ventures). G2 named BotCity one of the world's top 25 emerging platforms.

We are a remote company with teams across the US, Canada and LATAM. Small team, large customers, a category forming around us. If you want real ownership over a problem that matters, we should talk.

Role Overview

The Product Owner will drive the execution of BotCity's Orchestrator product, turning strategic direction into a clear, well-prioritized roadmap that strengthens its market leadership and supports its continued growth. This professional will keep a healthy, prioritized backlog, make sure the squad delivers working software every sprint, and lead ongoing improvements to delivery speed, predictability and quality using meaningful metrics. BotCity is looking for a data-driven product professional who is comfortable with ambiguity in a startup setting, cares deeply about delivery quality, and takes full ownership of what ships, earning engineers' trust through clarity and follow-through. The role reports to the Product Manager.

Responsibilities

• Own Orchestrator's product backlog end-to-end - grooming, prioritization, dependency management, and sprint readiness.


• Ensure 100% of items entering a sprint have clearly defined acceptance criteria, eliminating rework caused by scope ambiguity.


• Frame backlog items as testable hypotheses where appropriate, keeping delivery connected to


• Orchestrator's product goals.


• Lead sprint ceremonies (planning, refinement, review, and retrospectives), adapting agile practices pragmatically to what the team actually needs.


• Translate strategic direction into clear, well-scoped stories, asking the right clarifying questions upfront to prevent rework downstream.


• Proactively initiate and structure discovery work every sprint cycle (user feedback synthesis, assumption mapping, delivery retrospectives), and bring evidence-based recommendations.


• Act as the primary point of contact for requirement clarification during development, unblocking engineers quickly and protecting sprint integrity.


• Define, monitor, and report on delivery health KPIs through Jira, including sprint predictability, defect leakage, and cycle time, giving the BotCity continuous visibility into Orchestrator's delivery quality.


• Contribute actively to roadmap and product direction conversations, bringing a grounded, delivery-informed perspective to strategic discussions.
