What We Need

We're looking for an experienced Senior Technical Product Manager to drive the vision, strategy, and execution of tooling initiatives across SDS. This role is first and foremost about product management: defining the right problems, identifying the right solutions, and delivering meaningful impact to SDS teams and our studio partners. At the same time, you'll bring the project management skills and precision needed to guide teams through sprints, tasks, and delivery.

What You Will Do
  • Own the product vision and strategy for multiple SDS tooling efforts across their lifecycles, from initial proposal and greenlight, through development and release.

  • Translate ambiguous problem spaces into clear opportunities and measurable outcomes that deliver value for our partners.

  • Capture and validate requirements, develop roadmaps, conduct competitive analysis, customer interviews, lead strategy discussions, and develop critical metrics and reporting.

  • Define and track key success criteria (e.g., adoption, efficiency gains, user satisfaction) to guide prioritization and investment.

  • Support agile planning by coordinating sprint cycles, backlog refinement, and release schedules to keep delivery predictable.

  • Regularly communicate progress, outcomes, and risks to SDS leadership, executives, and customers.

Who We Think Will Be A Great Fit
  • 5-7+ years of product management experience, ideally with exposure to technical tools, platforms, or pipelines.

  • Strong ability to balance strategic vision (why/what) with practical delivery (how/when).

  • Able to build positive relationships cross functionally between studios, engineers, and partners.

  • Skillful communicator in any direction, able to translate technical issues to non-technical audiences and vice versa.

  • Passion for game development and the tooling that enables teams to do their best creative work.

  • Can explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Experience with platform products and technologies a plus.

Bonus Points
  • Experience in AAA game development or publishing pipelines.

  • Familiarity with content creation tools, automation frameworks, or resource management systems.

  • Background in both product and project management roles, ideally in technical organizations.

  • Loves to solve tough problems.

The pay range for this position in California at the start of employment is expected to be between $120,600 and $178,500 per Year. However, base pay offered is based on market location, and may vary further depending on individualized factors for job candidates, such as job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and other objective business considerations.

Subject to those same considerations, the total compensation package for this position may also include other elements, including a bonus and/or equity awards and eligibility to participate in our 401(K) plan and Employee Stock Purchase Program.

Regular, full-time employees are also eligible for a range of benefits at the Company, including: medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance coverage; 14 paid holidays per calendar year; paid vacation time per calendar year (ranging from 15 to 25 days) or eligibility to participate in the Company’s discretionary time off program; up to 10 paid sick days per calendar year; paid parental and compassionate leave; wellbeing programs for mental health and other wellness support; family planning support through Maven; commuter benefits; and reimbursements for fitness-related expenses.
