You will also work with product designers to develop hi-fi prototypes carrying out usability testing where required.
As part of product development, you’ll work closely with the software engineering team using an appropriate development methodology to breakdown features into actionable work (epics, user stories) and then perform acceptance as per the definition of DONE. You’ll ensure they are well-written according to best practices (INVEST, AC). You will own and help to ensure the product backlog for the teams is in good shape (DEEP principles).
