Product Owner

At Nortal, we believe complexity shouldn’t mean complicated. From transforming public services to developing mission-critical digital solutions, we turn difficult problems into technology that works in the real world — not just on paper.

Talgen, Nortal's cybersecurity subsidiary, takes this mission into the world of cyber defence, resilience, and research and development. Our team contributes to international EU and NATO-related projects, developing technologies and solutions that help organisations and critical systems become more secure and resilient.

We are looking for a mid-level Product Owner / System Analyst who enjoys bringing structure to complex technical challenges, translating stakeholder needs into clear requirements, and helping engineering teams turn ideas into working solutions.

You'll work closely with engineers, cybersecurity specialists, researchers, and international project partners. You don't need to be a cybersecurity expert — we're looking for someone with solid system analysis skills, curiosity, and a willingness to learn in a technically challenging environment.

Bring your analytical mindset and curiosity. We'll bring the challenges worth solving.

Please note: We are currently considering applications only from candidates who are already based in Estonia.

• Work with stakeholders, engineers, researchers, and international project partners to understand their needs and translate them into clear requirements.
• Analyse system behaviour, processes, data flows, integrations, and dependencies.
• Create and maintain system documentation, including UML diagrams, process flows, user stories, and functional and technical specifications.
• Translate technical and operational requirements into feasible solutions together with the engineering team.
• Maintain and prioritise the product backlog, refine user stories, and support sprint planning and delivery activities.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity specialists and developers throughout solution design, implementation, and testing.
• Support technical documentation and deliverables for international research and development projects.
• Help keep stakeholders aligned, clarify requirements, and manage changes throughout the development process.

• At least 2 years of experience as a Product Owner, System Analyst, Business Analyst, or in a similar technical role.
• Hands-on experience with system analysis, requirements gathering, UML, process modelling, and writing functional or technical specifications.
• Good understanding of software development processes, system integrations, and Agile methodologies.
• Ability to translate complex requirements into clear, actionable tasks for development teams.
• Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and a structured approach to problem-solving.
• Good communication and collaboration skills, with the confidence to ask questions and challenge assumptions.
• Excellent written and spoken English and Estonian.
• Interest in cybersecurity, defence technology, and research-driven projects.
