Technical Product Manager leading technical roadmap processes for Samba TV's engineering teams and infrastructure initiatives. Collaborating with various teams to execute platform improvements.
Responsibilities
Own the end-to-end technical roadmap process, from intake and triage through commitment, execution, and launch.
Propose as well as review and evaluate incoming technical initiative proposals from engineering teams, validating problem statements, assessing cross-team impact, and negotiating priority.
Maintain and communicate a prioritized backlog of technical initiatives.
Define and document requirements for cross-team and org-level initiatives, working with platform teams and impacted engineering teams to gather and validate inputs.
Partner with the PMO to translate the prioritized roadmap into quarterly team commitments, resolving conflicts and ensuring alignment across teams.
Advocate for enablement and technical risk reduction initiatives in prioritization discussions alongside Product leadership.
Coordinate across engineering teams during execution of cross-team initiatives, confirming that solutions meet requirements and that all affected teams have delivered before initiatives are closed.
Continuously improve the processes, tooling (Jira), and documentation that support the technical roadmap function.
Requirements
5+ years of experience in technical product management or a similar position, with a track record of owning complex, cross-functional initiatives.
Strong technical fluency — you can engage credibly with engineers on architecture, infrastructure, APIs, and data systems, and you know enough to ask the right questions even when you don’t have all the answers.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; you can distill complex technical considerations into clear, concise documentation for varied audiences.
Demonstrated ability to drive prioritization and clarity in ambiguous environments with competing stakeholder interests.
Experience in data platforms, infrastructure, or platform engineering environments strongly preferred.
Experience writing or managing requirements documentation for technically complex initiatives.
Familiarity with Agile/scrum practices and project tracking tools (Jira experience a plus).
A track record of building trust with engineering teams — you understand their constraints, respect their autonomy, and know how to influence without authority.
