About the role

  • As a Technical Producer on VALORANT’s Developer Experience & Workflows (DEW) team, you will own team-level production for the team that makes VALORANT’s development inner loop fast, reliable, and increasingly self-service.
  • DEW supports the developer workflows used to create, validate, and iterate on VALORANT content and code, helping teams move efficiently toward playable, shippable work.

Responsibilities

  • Lead DEW’s day-to-day production practice, including planning, team rituals, commitments, risks, dependencies, and delivery visibility
  • Translate agreed product direction and technical plans into executable work, milestones, and release or transition plans
  • Maintain a clear execution backlog and capacity plan across KTLO, emergent support, planned work, and discretionary investment
  • Coordinate dependencies across DEW and partner teams, surface delivery risks early, and drive issues to clear owners and decisions
  • Partner with Product and Engineering on intake and tradeoffs, while communicating status, decisions, changes, and risks to stakeholders and customers
  • Improve DEW’s operating system and team sustainability using production and service health metrics, with the goal of making delivery more predictable and DEW workflows more reliable

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience as a Producer, Product Manager, or Development Manager delivering technical tools, services, workflows, or complex software initiatives from planning through post-release support
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience with strong technical knowledge and problem-solving skills
  • Experience partnering with engineering leadership to clarify scope, manage dependencies, resolve risks, and deliver against commitments
  • Experience managing execution backlogs across planned work, operational work, defects, and emergent requests
  • Strong judgment, organization, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn ambiguity into plans, decisions, owners, and follow-through
  • Experience working across disciplines, organizations, and time zones using Agile or Lean practices such as Scrum or Kanban
  • Experience managing stakeholders, gathering and aligning on requirements across service development teams, and translating them into prioritized, executable work for the team
  • Experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams, understanding scope and dependencies, navigating constraints, and prioritizing team efforts based on impact and capacity
  • Experience identifying operational and development challenges, facilitating resolution, and driving issues to clear decisions
  • Proficiency with Jira, Notion, or similar planning and collaboration tools

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience in game development or a strong understanding of how technical teams build game features for a modern live-service game
  • Familiarity with Unreal Engine and the workflows used by engineers, designers, artists, and QA
  • Experience using delivery metrics, operational data, automation, or AI-assisted tools to improve execution, reliability, or team efficiency
