How to Apply for Product Owner

at DeepSea Technologies

🏢 About DeepSea Technologies

DeepSea Technologies is pioneering AI-driven solutions specifically for the commercial shipping industry, focusing on reducing fuel consumption and emissions through digital and autonomous vessel technologies. What makes them unique is their targeted application of deep-tech in a traditionally conservative maritime sector, combining environmental impact with practical business value. Someone might want to work here to be at the intersection of cutting-edge AI, sustainability, and global maritime operations.

About This Role

As Product Owner at DeepSea Technologies, you'll own and prioritize the product backlog for maritime digital and autonomous vessel products, translating complex requirements from customers, regulations, safety standards, and business needs into clear engineering specifications. This role is impactful because you'll directly influence how AI reduces fuel use and emissions in commercial shipping, coordinating stakeholders while ensuring adherence to maritime standards and cybersecurity regulations throughout the product lifecycle.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing maritime regulatory updates that impact product requirements, prioritizing backlog items with engineering teams based on customer feedback and business value, and coordinating with stakeholders across time zones to align on product roadmaps. You'd likely spend time analyzing data from vessel operations to inform product decisions while ensuring all specifications meet cybersecurity and safety standards for maritime deployment.
