Sr. Technical Program Manager, Prime Video Sports & Live TV

About the Role

The Referee team builds the tooling that catches problems before customers do. Last year alone, our systems ran 350 million metadata verifications and tracked 34 million live event publishes end to end — work that would otherwise fall to a much larger team of manual operators. You'll help build the testing and validation applications and services that Prime Video Sports development teams and partners rely on to verify features, partner integrations, and live event configurations before they reach customers. This is a cross-functional, high-leverage opportunity: get it right, and every sports launch across the org ships with confidence; your work will prevent issues from surfacing live, in front of customers.

In this role you will work across a distributed engineering team building everything from emulator-based end-to-end testing capabilities to event configuration and timing validation tools that partner and internal teams depend on daily. If you're a technical program manager, there's a home for you in Seattle working on Prime Video Sports & Live TV. Our leaders are great teachers, our engineers are world-class, and our products are fun.

Key Job Responsibilities

You'll own program execution across our four applications, partnering with the SDM on prioritization and engineers on delivery. You will:

• Own customer intake end to end — consolidating and prioritizing requests from Prime Video Sports teams (including PAVE and Reign) and partner integrators so effort goes to the highest-impact work
• Be the interface between customer teams and engineers — shaping requirements into clear user stories, decomposing them into technical execution plans, and tracking progress against them
• Guard the customer experience of our own tools, raising the bar on usability and simplicity, and help the team make the right feature trade-offs without compromising test coverage or business relevance
• Run the mechanisms that keep the team and stakeholders aligned: intake prioritization, work tracking, and a leadership communication
• Manage cross-team dependencies and flag roadmap risk
• Balance progress on roadmap with incoming customer requests
• Build relationships across Prime Video Sports, evangelize our tools, and represent the team's tradeoffs to leadership, including in Critical Program Reviews
• Help the team adopt AI-assisted workflows in its own tooling and processes
