About the team and the role

Pricing data services (low, average, high, medium)
Market price valuation of sold items
Email service infrastructure for seller communication
IRIS: a router for vision-based technologies for card identification
As a TPM on the CLIP team, you will not only bring strong technical and product expertise but also act as the connective tissue between engineering, product, and consumer-facing teams. You will ensure that CLIP services are scalable, reliable, and strategically aligned with TCGplayer’s marketplace and growth objectives.
What you will accomplish
Drive successful execution of product development by fostering collaboration and coordination between the CLIP engineering team and downstream product/consumer teams, ensuring alignment with business goals and priorities.
Lead roadmap planning, backlog grooming, and requirement clarification across multiple participants.
Translate platform capabilities into consumable solutions for other teams, reducing bottlenecks in requirements gathering and dependency management.
Define and maintain the technical roadmap for inventory and listings services, adapting it to evolving marketplace needs.
Ensure adherence to compliance, documentation, and operational standards, reducing risk and improving scalability.
Deliver measurable outcomes including:
Shorter development cycles and improved team velocity
Higher quality results through clearer requirements
Improved partner satisfaction and platform adoption
What you will bring
1 to 2 years of experience as a Technical Product Owner, Technical Product Manager, or Software Developer working on backend services, infrastructure, or marketplace platforms.
Competence in technical product management and development methodologies (Agile, customer- and design-centric practices), with a track record of leading complex dependencies and aligning technical roadmaps with business strategy.
Strong quantitative reasoning and ability to define success metrics, track velocity, and build portfolio-level indicators.
Experience with ecommerce marketplace or SMB SaaS product lines; supply chain, pricing analytics, or fulfillment tooling experience is a plus.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to clarify complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, and a bias toward operational scalability and documentation.
Technical competence: understanding of backend service architecture, data platforms, and infrastructure considerations for scalable systems. Comfort collaborating with engineering at a deep technical level.
A steadfast focus on customers and internal consumers (e.g., Seller, Buyer, Fulfillment, Digitization teams), ensuring CLIP services unlock customer-facing value.
