We’re hiring a Product Owner to anchor the delivery and execution side of the Kalibrate Location Intelligence (KLI) Product Development Team. In this role you will take full ownership of sprint planning, backlog hygiene, ticket quality, and process discipline. KLI is a data-heavy SaaS platform used by retailers, analysts, and real estate planners—so attention to detail and a love of clarity is critical.

We’re also entering an exciting new phase of AI-powered innovation across the platform. Experience with AI product workflows, especially Agentic AI Architecture, RAG, CAG, and LLM prompting, will be considered a strong bonus.
