Jobbeschreibung

Senior Technical Program Manager, EC2 (Core Compute)

EC2 Core Compute owns the AWS Nitro System and the general purpose EC2 instance families. The Nitro System is the purpose-built platform of dedicated hardware, a lightweight hypervisor, and a hardware root of trust that powers every modern EC2 instance — offloading virtualization, networking, storage, and security functions to dedicated Nitro Cards and a Nitro Security Chip, while the Nitro Hypervisor delivers bare-metal-equivalent performance with a minimized attack surface. Our organization also owns the C, M, R, X, Flex, and T instance families — the non-accelerated general purpose compute platforms that serve the broadest range of AWS customer workloads across millions of servers and Intel, AMD, and AWS Graviton processor architectures.

We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to own programs that directly shape the reliability, performance, security, and economics of this foundational infrastructure. You will create scope in ambiguous problem spaces, influence engineering and business decisions at the senior leadership level, and drive cross-organizational alignment across multiple engineering teams. You will work at the rare intersection of hardware and software — spanning the Nitro System, processor platform roadmaps, fleet modernization, and customer-facing capacity commitments — with visibility to the highest levels of the company. This role is based in Berlin, one of Amazon's largest engineering hubs in Europe.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-functional technical programs from concept through fleet-wide deployment across compute platform instance families including C, M, R, X, Flex, and T.
• Own Nitro System programs spanning hypervisor evolution, virtualization enhancements, confidential computing, and security hardening initiatives.
• Track customer commitments and capacity forecasting for large-scale workloads, working with customer-facing teams to ensure the right capacity is available.
• Drive operational improvement programs that reduce toil and improve fleet sustainability at massive global scale.
• Respond to emergent and unplanned activities with speed and rigor, mobilizing cross-functional teams as needed.
• Build strategic roadmaps, synthesize technical and business tradeoffs into clear recommendations, and present to senior leadership.
• Influence without direct authority across engineering, product, supply chain, and finance organizations.
• Collaborate cross-timezone with US-based teams from Berlin.

A Day in the Life

You will operate across multiple engineering teams without direct reports, earning trust through technical credibility and consistent delivery. Your work includes leading program syncs across time zones, reviewing engineering milestones for Nitro System and compute platform programs, identifying risks before they become blockers, and preparing leadership updates that translate complex technical status into clear business impact.

This role requires regular cross-timezone collaboration with US-based teams, including late evening meeting participation. Your stakeholders span engineering managers, directors, and senior leaders across AWS. Your customers are every team and every workload that runs on EC2.

Basic Qualifications

• Experience in technical product or program management.
• Experience working directly with engineering teams.
• Experience in software development.
• Experience in technical program management working directly with software engineering teams.
• Experience managing programs across cross-functional teams, building processes and coordinating release schedules.
• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or equivalent.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in project management disciplines including scope, schedule, budget, quality, along with risk and critical path management.
• Experience managing projects across cross functional teams, building sustainable processes and coordinating release schedules.
• Experience defining KPI's/SLA's used to drive multi-million dollar businesses and reporting to senior leadership.
• Experience with virtualization, orchestration and cloud computing (eg. Hypervisors, VMware, Xen).
• Experience in capacity planning, operations planning, business analysis or equivalent.
