Requirements

7+ years working directly with engineering teams on software development initiatives and 5+ years in technical program or product management leading large-scale, cross-functional programs.
Hands-on software development background in at least one language (e.g., Java, C#, C, C++, Kotlin, TypeScript) and the ability to engage deeply in technical discussions on system architecture, distributed systems, and platform engineering.
Strong expertise with modern API and integration practices, including REST and/or GraphQL, enterprise integration patterns, API gateways, and authentication mechanisms such as OAuth, JWT, and API keys.
Proven experience leading Agile delivery (Scrum, Kanban, or SAFe), including crafting epics and user stories, managing backlogs and release plans, and using tools like JIRA and Confluence to drive transparency and accountability.
Solid understanding of DevOps and CI/CD practices, cloud and microservices-based architectures, and experience leveraging automation to improve reliability, scalability, and program execution efficiency.
Demonstrated ability to influence without authority, build consensus across diverse teams, communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical partners, and navigate ambiguity while keeping teams focused on outcomes and customer impact.

Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-team software programs defining clear plans, aligning on scope, and ensuring on-time, high-quality releases that support eBay’s product and platform strategies.
Establish and maintain a single source of truth for execution (roadmaps, milestones, dependencies, and risks), enabling transparent decision-making for engineering, product, and leadership partners.
Drive rigorous E2E testing and bug triage workflows so that releases meet quality and reliability expectations, while continuously improving how issues are identified, prioritized, and resolved.
Own program communication by providing concise, data-driven status updates, surfacing risks and trade-offs early, and facilitating cross-functional decisions that keep teams aligned in evolving environments.
Advance technical excellence by guiding architectural and design discussions, helping teams make informed trade-offs around scalability, reliability, and system design across distributed platforms and APIs.
