Our enterprise-grade platform combines POS, eCommerce, Marketing, Analytics and Inventory Management into a single, seamless solution—eliminating the need for multiple third-party tools. We believe in simplicity, efficiency, and innovation . That’s why we build for scalability and performance , making life easier for cannabis retailers while driving real business growth. Why We’re Doing This At Sweed, we believe in the medicinal potential of cannabis. It has been shown to help with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and many other conditions. Despite the lingering stigma, we see cannabis as a powerful tool for improving lives. The industry is evolving rapidly, and we’re here to drive that transformation—making cannabis retail more efficient, accessible, and customer-friendly. Where We Are Now We’ve been on the market for 7 years, continuously growing and refining our product. Our focus is on earning customer trust , which means constantly improving our delivery processes and rolling out new features . At the same time, we navigate the complex legal landscape of the cannabis industry, ensuring our platform remains compliant and future-proof. Team Structure Our total team size is over 200 people : The development team is distributed globally and organized into cross-functional product teams. These teams typically consist of 8–12 members, including front-end and back-end developers, QA specialists, and analysts. Each team is led by a Team Lead and a Product Owner, ensuring effective collaboration and clear direction. Meanwhile, our CEO, account managers, and customer success team are based in the USA , working closely with us to align product development with business and user needs. Why We’re Hiring We’re strengthening our product organization and looking for experienced Product Owners who can take ownership of meaningful product areas and help us scale the platform. Our current focus spans several core product areas: eCommerce, Marketing, and Portal . eCommerce and Marketing cover customer-facing experiences such as online shopping, checkout, promotions, loyalty, and customer engagement. Portal is the operational backbone of the platform, where retailers manage inventory, payments, integrations, compliance-related workflows, settings, and other day-to-day store operations. We’re not looking for someone who will simply manage a backlog or coordinate delivery. We need a strong product thinker who can take a complex and ambiguous business problem, create clarity around it, define the right direction, and own the result from discovery through launch and iteration. The exact product area may depend on your background and strengths. For a genuinely strong candidate, we’re open to shaping a broader scope of responsibility.

Turn complex and ambiguous business challenges into clear product opportunities, priorities, and actionable plans.

Define the product vision, roadmap, priorities, scope, and expected outcomes for your area. Conduct product discovery, validate assumptions, and evaluate different solution options before committing engineering resources. Work closely with a dedicated cross-functional engineering team throughout planning and execution.
