Senior Staff Technical Product Owner @ GE Healthcare

We are building a secure, compliant, and highly reliable healthcare data platform that transports and transforms clinical and operational data from hospital on-premises environments to the cloud. As a Sr. Staff Technical Product Owner, you will own the product vision, roadmap, and outcomes for end-to-end data movement, interoperability, and governanceworking across global product managers in multiple healthcare sub-segments to deliver interoperable, scalable, and cost-efficient data capabilities.

What youll do (Key Responsibilities)

• Own vision & roadmap
  • Translate organizational strategy into a platform-level multi-release roadmap with clear value milestones and measurable outcomes.
  • Continuously capture Voice of Customer (VoC) from catching programs and adjust prioritization and scope to maximize impact.
• Backlog leadership
  • Author and maintain Epics, Features, and User Stories with acceptance criteria; ensure traceability to business outcomes and regulatory/compliance needs.
  • Lead backlog grooming, PI planning, and cross-program dependency management (SAFe or equivalent).
• Bridge product & engineering
  • Act as the primary interface between global product managers and engineering leads, ensuring scope clarity, non-functional requirements (performance, reliability, security), and delivery quality.
  • Drive design-to-value decisions across ingestion, streaming, API exposure, and data storage layers in future.
• Healthcare interoperability & data standards
  • Define patterns for HL7 v2.x, FHIR - Mapping/translation
  • Guide implementation choices for integration engines (e.g., Mirth/NextGen Connect, Cloverleaf, Rhapsody) and schema governance.
• Secure & compliant data movement (on-prem ? cloud)
  • Own product requirements for connectivity (AWS Direct Connect, Site-to-Site VPN, SD-WAN, private links), data in motion (TLS 1.2/1.3, mTLS, certificate rotation), and data at rest (KMS/HSM encryption, key rotation).
  • Define AuthN/AuthZ strategies (OIDC/OAuth2, SAML, RBAC/ABAC, least privilege) and secrets management.
  • Ensure adherence to HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and regional privacy laws (e.g., GDPR).
• Streaming & data platform architecture
  • Shape the streaming roadmap using Kafka (brokers, topics, partitions, consumer groups, schema registry, Avro/Protobuf), Kafka Connect, and CDC pipelines or any similar technology
  • Partner with architects on scalable ingestion, schema evolution, replay, dead-letter handling, and observability (OpenTelemetry, metrics, tracing, logs).
• AWS platform delivery
  • Define requirements and guardrails for AWS services such as S3, MSK (or self-managed Kafka), Glue, EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, PrivateLink, CloudWatch, KMS, Secrets Manager.
  • Drive reliability goals (SLOs/SLAs, RTO/RPO), disaster recovery patterns, and multi-account/multi-region design as needed.
• Cloud cost optimization (FinOps)
  • Lead cost-to-serve modeling and reduction initiatives: right-sizing, instance families compression/partitioning, autoscaling, and data egress minimization.
  • Establish cost dashboards, budgets, and per-feature cost accountability.
• Cybersecurity & privacy
  • Stay current with cybersecurity best practices (zero-trust, network segmentation, vulnerability management, threat modelling, security testing, SBOM where applicable).
  • Champion privacy-by-design, data minimization, de-identification/pseudonymization where appropriate.

What youll bring (Required Qualifications)

• Experience: 12-15+ years in product management/ownership or platform leadership, with 5+ years focused on data platforms/streaming and 3+ years in healthcare data interoperability.
• Deep technical fluency in:
  • Streaming with Kafka (clusters, partitioning strategy, throughput/latency tuning, schema registry).
  • Data security: encryption at rest/in transit, AuthN/AuthZ (OIDC/OAuth2/SAML), RBAC/ABAC, secrets management.
  • AWS core data & networking services; secure connectivity from on-prem to cloud (Direct Connect, VPN, private connectivity).
  • Cybersecurity controls and compliance frameworks relevant to healthcare (HIPAA/HITRUST/SOC 2).
• Healthcare standards: hands-on with HL7 v2, FHIR
• Roadmap & execution: proven track record translating vision into incremental deliveries; ownership of Epics/Features/Stories and measurable outcomes.
• Cross-functional leadership: success aligning multiple global product managers and engineering teams in a highly dynamic environment.
• Cloud cost reduction: demonstrable wins lowering run-rate and egress costs, optimizing storage/compute, and implementing FinOps practices.
• Communication: excellent written/verbal skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and vice-versa.
• Hands on experience in Product Management using Gen AI tooling

Nice to have (Preferred Qualifications)

• Experience with integration engines (e.g., Mirth/NextGen Connect, Cloverleaf, Rhapsody), and EMR/vendor ecosystems (Epic, Oracle Health/Cerner, Meditech, etc.).
• Knowledge of data governance & cataloguing (e.g., AWS Lake Formation, Glue Data Catalog), lineage, DQ frameworks, and PHI/PII handling patterns.
• Familiarity with event-driven and API-first architectures (REST/gRPC), Idempotency, Exactly-once/At-least-once semantics.
• Observability tooling (CloudWatch, Datadog, Splunk,Promethesu, Graffana) and SRE practices (error budgets, SLOs).
