About the team and the role:

The mission of the Developer Ecosystem team is to be the platform of choice for global commerce powered by a best-in-class public API portfolio and a world-class developer experience. APIs are the foundation of modern technology companies. This role is vital to developing eBay’s external developer platform, which supports over $25B in Gross Merchandise Sold and $3B in Gross Merchandise Bought every year.

We support all public APIs and work alongside external developers, partners, and internal teams.

Our team is part of the Global Technology organization at eBay and reports to the Chief Technology Officer. We build some APIs ourselves and assist other teams in their API development. We provide governance and oversight of all public interfaces. We create all API documentation and deliver technical support to external developers. We also develop various tools, frameworks, and technologies to support the ecosystem.

We are hiring an experienced Sr Product Manager (2) to help specify, prioritize, and lead various API product development projects across our team. This important leadership role will work with many groups within eBay and key external customers through technical support, events, conferences, and advisory councils. You will personally lead several high-profile API projects, from collaborating with our program management and engineering teams on multiple products to supporting major company-wide development initiatives.

Simply put, we need you to help our team build and deliver magical developer experiences. We are looking for a problem solver who has a strong vision on how to support developers with APIs. You will inspire engineers, set requirements, prioritize features, develop a roadmap, and lead products through the full release life cycle. You must have a deep understanding of our customers’ needs, our business, and relevant technologies.

Building connections across a complex global enterprise is key. Your efforts will directly affect the strategy, functionality, and quality of eBay’s APIs to generate significant revenue.

We are in a phase of renewal and expansion as we advance the modernization of our APIs and enhance the developer ecosystem as a whole. We seek outstanding individuals who share eBay’s cultural values and have a passion for delivering APIs that support our mission. If you enjoy challenges and have experience product managing public-facing APIs and / or API heavy product development cycles, we want you on our team!
