Description du poste

Lenstra was founded by passionate computer science engineers with a proven track record of delivering high-quality solutions. By combining technical excellence with a strong vision, we support top-tier clients across industries such as Banking & Insurance, Luxury, and Technology.

Our expertise is structured around four core pillars: Software Development, DevSecOps, Data & AI, and Product. Through a holistic understanding of our clients’ environments, we help them address their most complex challenges—from building robust software and secure cloud platforms to designing data-driven solutions that accelerate business impact.

As an API Management Product Owner, you will own the vision, roadmap, and delivery of API platforms that power and connect critical enterprise systems. You’ll sit at the intersection of engineering, architecture, and business, shaping how APIs are designed, secured, governed, and consumed across organisations.

Your scope will cover high-impact initiatives: building and evolving enterprise API gateways and developer platforms, enabling seamless integration across dozens of applications, and supporting hundreds of internal and external consumers. You’ll define standards, drive API lifecycle management, and ensure scalability, reliability, and security—while keeping developer experience front and center.

You’ll work hands‑on with engineers and architects, translating business and integration needs into clear technical priorities. Comfort with technical depth is essential: from understanding API design patterns and contracts to navigating authentication, performance, and observability concerns. At the same time, you’ll engage senior stakeholders to align platform strategy with broader IT and business objectives.

Preferred experience

• Display a relentless drive for delivering value, overcoming obstacles to achieve goals.
• Proficient in JIRA, Confluence, or similar product management tools, facilitating efficient workflows.
• Exhibit exceptional analytical and problem-solving abilities, capable of navigating complex issues.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, ensuring effective teamwork and collaboration.
• Skilled at managing multiple tasks, prioritizing effectively to meet deadlines and objectives.
• Agile mindset, adaptable to changing project requirements and business needs.
• Visionary thinking, capable of identifying future trends and integrating them into current projects.
• Leadership qualities, able to guide and inspire teams towards achieving project milestones.
