Job description

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to join our Data Center Design Engineering team.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain - and we're looking for talented people who want to help.

You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

The ideal candidate should thrive in ambiguity and competing priorities. Be an exceptionally strong communicator both written and verbally who can translate complex technical schedules into clear executive narratives. Possess a strong sense of organization, accountability, and team building that fosters robust working relationships across internal and external stakeholders. Are comfortable managing remote delivery teams and can navigate mechanical/electrical engineering concepts with confidence. Are relentless about on-time delivery and treat every missed milestone as a learning opportunity to improve the system.

Key job responsibilities

• Engage with internal and external Amazon customers and support teams to gain insights and capture critical mechanical, electrical and utility needs for the business today and in the future
• Utilize those insights to identify specific program requirements, create a program vision, and own the product development roadmap for critical segments of the data center physical infrastructure
• Coordinate between multiple teams to develop compelling business cases to substantiate business value, define product prioritization, and outline budget and resources required to implement product roadmaps
• Drive continuous advancements and improvements within our data center designs, and communicate technical solutions to Senior Management
• Own and drive the complete product lifecycle from idea conception through implementation and wide scale deployment to eventual deprecation
• Develop product features and deployment strategies to improve performance, reliability, sustainability and efficiency of new applications and use cases
• Communicate complex issues clearly and effectively to leadership to propose solutions and fully inform risk decisions
• Work independently in a high-performing environment with all levels of leadership and exercise sound judgment where clear guidelines may not exist
