Anat’s Answer
Many MBA students get a job in Tech post their MBA. Most MBA programs are 2 years long, and gives you an opportunity to do a summer internship in between. When selecting an MBA program, you can ask for information about companies who actively recruit there, as well as stats on what fields/companies graduates go to. On the academic side, look for courses that focus on the technology space, ideally with an opportunity to work with real tech companies as part of a course or project.
Each MBA program usually has a career office, where you can find many answers to these questions.

Product owners, project managers, product managers are some post MBA jobs in tech. I have seen these disciplines exist in big companies like Amazon and Microsoft as well as startups. Typically companies have various organizations like Engineering, Sales, Business, HR. The roles that I mentioned are typically part of Engineering. There would be even more options for post MBAs in Business.

I am not sure what the question is here. If you are looking for a software company then I would look at the jobs posted on linked in and glassdoor. This is a great place to look for a job. Also go directly to the company you are interested in and see what they have posted. Jobs are almost always posted on their website. There are many companies that are not software companies but who do software development so do not limit yourself to only purely software companies. Almost all industries have departments that have software development going on. Also your school should have a placement program. See if they can help get you interviews.
Good Luck!

Keep in mind that coming out of an MBA it's typically challenging to change both Function and Industry. So if you have a background in finance and no experience in tech, you may find it's more natural to land a finance job within a tech company. Conversely, if you have tech expertise, but want to make the switch from engineering to say marketing, focus on honing skills that will make that transition easy for a recruiter to understand.
JEREMIE’s Answer
Product Marketing, Product Management, Project/Program Management roles would be a good fit after an MBA. It would be good to leverage your work experience before the MBA. For instance, if you were working as a software engineer before the MBA, moving to Product Management would be a natural transition.
Good luck!
