Our role at SIE is to create and nurture the experiences under the PlayStation brand, a name synonymous with entertainment excellence and creativity.
Sony Interactive Entertainment is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager on a contract basis to support engineering teams in Foundational Systems and Experiences Engineering (FSEE).
You will work with application developers, quality engineering developers, release managers, framework engineers, and other partners across teams and regions. You will turn technical goals into coordinated plans, keep decisions and dependencies moving, and improve the predictability of delivery and release management. This is a senior individual contributor role with hands-on ownership of complex, cross-team programs.
Responsibilities
- Own programs across internal tooling and framework teams from initiation through delivery, with clear scope, priorities, milestones, outcomes, and accountable owners.
- Translate developer, quality engineering, and release management needs into technical requirements and execution plans with engineering partners.
- Support development team release management processes by aligning schedules, decisions, risks, and handoffs across participating teams.
- Drive prioritization and decisions that balance developer impact, technical constraints, capacity, and delivery timing.
- Identify risks early, lead mitigation, and escalate issues with clear options and trade-offs.
- Facilitate Scrum ceremonies and adapt Agile practices to help teams plan, execute, and improve their work.
- Communicate program health, progress, risks, and decisions to technical partners and senior leaders across regions.
- Improve processes and tools that reduce manual coordination and make application onboarding and release more predictable.
- Complete an orderly transition with documented decisions, remaining risks, and clear ownership for ongoing work.
Required qualifications
- 5–7+ years of technical program management, program management, or closely related experience, with demonstrated ownership of complex, interdependent software programs.
- Prior hands-on Scrum Master experience and a strong understanding of Agile ceremonies and team execution.
- A background in software development or quality engineering, with practical understanding of system design, testing, and delivery workflows.
- Ability to work with engineers on architecture concepts, system integrations, CI/CD processes, and technical trade-offs across the software development lifecycle.
- Experience coordinating delivery and release readiness across multiple teams with competing priorities and dependencies.
- Experience aligning globally distributed, cross-functional teams and influencing decisions without direct authority.
- Strong written and verbal communication with technical and nontechnical audiences, including senior leadership.
- A record of navigating ambiguity, resolving risks, and driving programs through deployment and handoff.
Preferred qualifications
- A bachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience with internal developer tools, application onboarding portals, engineering frameworks, or quality engineering workflows.
- Experience supporting release management processes and CI/CD gating across multiple systems.
- Experience applying Scrum, Kanban, or other Agile approaches to programs involving several teams.
- Experience improving program management practices, tooling, reliability, or delivery efficiency.
What success looks like
- The internal development teams have clear plans and decisions, with risks and dependencies addressed early.
- Application developers, quality engineering developers, and release managers spend less time on manual coordination and have a clearer view of application status and next steps.
- The development team's release management process has dependable milestones, readiness criteria, communication, and ownership across teams.
- Stakeholders trust the program's reporting and decision process, even when priorities or technical constraints change.
- Teams retain useful improvements to their delivery practices and a complete handoff for ongoing work.
