You will lead one or more sophisticated engineering and product programs as a Sr. Engineering Program Manager. These programs are key to how eBay delivers high-quality experiences. Acting as the primary contact for project progress, you will coordinate teams across development, product, and other departments. This role requires technical expertise, structured management, and leadership in ambiguous settings to influence technical decisions and guide teams through the software development lifecycle, ultimately crafting how outstanding products are developed at eBay.

What You Will Accomplish

• Lead end-to-end delivery of sophisticated, multi-team software programs by defining clear plans, aligning on scope, and ensuring timely, high-quality releases that support eBay’s product and platform strategies.
• Establish and maintain a single source of truth for execution (roadmaps, achievements, dependencies, and risks), enabling clear decision-making for engineering, product, and leadership partners.
• Drive detailed 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 multi-functional decisions that keep teams aligned in evolving environments.
• Advance technical perfection by guiding architectural and build discussions, helping teams make informed trade-offs around scalability, reliability, and system development across distributed platforms and APIs.
• Improve how work gets done by refining agile and program management practices. Implement automation and tracking tools. Partner with PPMs and DPMs to increase delivery velocity and predictability over time.

What You Will Bring

• 7+ years working directly with engineering teams on software development initiatives and 5+ years in technical program or product management leading large-scale, multi-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 using Scrum, Kanban, or SAFe. This includes crafting epics and user stories. Managing backlogs and release plans is also required. Experience with tools like JIRA and Confluence supports transparency and accountability.
• Solid understanding of DevOps and CI/CD practices, cloud and microservices-based architectures, and experience bringing to bear automation to improve reliability, scalability, and program execution efficiency.
• Demonstrated ability to influence without authority and build consensus across diverse teams. Communicates clearly with technical and non-technical partners. Navigates ambiguity while keeping teams passionate about outcomes and customer impact.
