In this role, you will define the roadmap for IAM’s authentication and authorization technologies, risk classifications for agent actions, auditing, and preventative controls.

In this role, you will collaborate directly with engineering, product, and executive leadership. You are an experienced product manager who understands the big picture, drives prioritization, rallies the team, and mentors junior product managers.

• Manage risk and escalations, and balance business needs against technical constraints

About the team

We’re the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) team. We build and operate one of the largest and most important software systems in the world – one that is used by every AWS customer, makes authentication and authorization decisions about every AWS API request, and needs to scale with all other AWS services.

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of working as a Technical Product Manager
• Experience delivering large‑scale SaaS, PaaS or LaaS products where you are responsible for the full product lifecycle, from concept through GTM (go to market)
• Experience with AI/ML technologies
