As Senior Technical Product Manager for Monitoring & Performance, you’ll own the products and platforms that keep PrizePicks fast, observable, and resilient at scale. You’ll partner closely with engineering, infrastructure, and SRE to turn performance and reliability from a reactive scramble into a competitive advantage. Your customers are our own engineers, and your job is to make their day-to-day measurably better.

What you’ll do:

• Partner with engineering and infrastructure teams to find the bottlenecks, gaps, and opportunities across our internal development lifecycle.
• Own the full product lifecycle for performance and monitoring initiatives - from discovery through delivery and iteration.
• Translate engineering needs into clear requirements and user stories with well-defined acceptance criteria.
• Prioritize initiatives by impact, urgency, and feasibility so the team ships the highest-value work first.
• Define success metrics, then use data to measure impact, surface insights, and inform trade-offs.
• Act as the voice of our internal engineers, making sure what we build solves real problems and is easy to adopt.
• Communicate goals, progress, and decisions clearly - to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
