Job description

Sr Technical Program Manager, - Enterprise Data Catalog

Job ID: 2968719 | Amazon.com Services LLC

**** Fully remote position ****
Amazon’s eCommerce Foundation (eCF) organization is responsible for the core components that drive the Amazon website and customer experience. Serving millions of customer page views and orders per day, eCF builds for scale. As an organization within eCF, the Business Data Technologies (BDT) group is no exception. We collect petabytes of data from thousands of data sources inside and outside Amazon including the Amazon catalog system, inventory system, customer order system, page views on the website and Alexa systems. We provide interfaces for our internal customers to access and query the data hundreds of thousands of times per day, using Amazon Web Service’s (AWS) Redshift, Hive, Spark and Oracle. We build scalable solutions that grow with the Amazon business.

BDT is growing, and the data processing landscape is shifting. Our data is consumed by thousands of teams across Amazon including Research Scientists, Machine Learning Specialists, Business Analysts and Data Engineers. BDT team is building an enterprise-wide Big Data Marketplace leveraging AWS technologies. We enable teams at Amazon to produce analytical data in any form of storage (S3, DynamoDB, Aurora, etc.) and process that data using any type of compute environment such as EMR/Spark, Redshift, Athena, and others via a common bus.

Enterprise Data & Catalog (EDC)'s vision is to provide unified data storage and catalog providing fine-grained access controls, and enriched, descriptive metadata across all Amazon data for all commonly used formats and storage types. Our mission is to provide a common platform to make Amazon data easily discovered, explained, explored for lineage and relationships, securely exchanged, and enabled for compliance. We catalog the What, When, Why, Producer, Consumers, Lineage, relationships, and Trustworthiness of datasets across Amazon. With standard and stable data access contracts and fine-grain access control, we enable integration of Amazon and AWS data tools for easy, secure, and compliant access. Having a single augmented catalog for all Amazon, we bridge the gap between data lakes and answer key data governance questions. This platform empowers Amazon to drive business insights via analytics and machine learning.

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) who is capable of breaking down and solving complex problems, and has a strong will to get things done! TPMs at Amazon work on real world problems on a global scale. They own their systems end to end and influence the direction of our technology which impacts hundreds of millions of customers around the world. Because you take pride in setting the standard for engineering excellence, you are a hands-on, pragmatic problem solver that easily balances trade-offs between competing interests. You thrive in a fast-moving team environment where you are able to juggle complex dependencies and requirements while producing optimal solutions. Ambiguity and creativity are both expected and the norm

This unique opportunity puts you in the driver’s seat to improve the efficiency and experience for our internal and external customers.
Imagine:
- Direct impact worldwide by driving initiatives
- Working with an empowered team of people in an environment that exudes customer obsession with every keystroke, every interaction
- Working closely with your clients to create fly-wheel effect for Amazon teams and customers?
- Networking with virtually every Technology team within BDT, as well as the entire Amazon organization to solve collaborative problems
Responsibilities
- Responsible for the end-to-end project management functions of large programs including planning, risk and issue management, trade-offs and execution.
- Create, maintain and disseminate project information to stakeholders.
- Effectively cooperate with customers, technical staff and leaders, business leaders and executives in different geographical locations to define and deliver complex features.
- Ability to make sense of ambiguity, define and plan programs in a fast paced and highly-technical organization, and secure buy-in from internal and external stakeholders
