Technical Product Manager, Wave Platform

Wave brings people together through virtual entertainment. Our shows enable artists and audiences to collaborate in the creation of the most interactive live performance experiences in the world. Waves are live, interactive and immersive shows that are unlike any concert you have ever experienced, virtual or otherwise. We combine the best of live music, gaming and broadcast technology to transform the live music performance experience. Waves are live streamed globally on wave.watch and across popular social and gaming platforms including YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, TikTok, Facebook and Roblox.

Come help us define the future of music! Together we'll create amazing experiences for show attendees and drive creativity for content creators and performers.

You will be the technical product manager owning the set of cloud services and backend systems we use to host and manage Wave’s content creation and show configuration platform, as well as to manage, distribute and scale our live, cross-platform virtual performances. You will report to the Chief Product Officer.

You will be responsible for the full product development lifecycle -- from understanding customer needs to identifying the most impactful features and improvements to SCRUM Product Owner to measuring success after release. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on technical product manager with a proven track record of delivering industry-leading client side SDKs, cloud services APIs and back end systems for online multiplayer games or large scale social content platforms.
