Stores UTR Tech (UTRT) invents the technology behind Amazon's physical store and food production operations. Our goal is to make store operations intelligent and effortless, so operators can focus on serving customers instead of working around systems, and every customer gets an excellent grocery shopping experience.

Our charter covers the full life of store operations. That includes inbound and receiving, inventory accuracy and cycle counts, labor and task orchestration, issue escalation, and food production. We build first-party platforms, connect them with partner technology, and deploy them across a growing network of stores. The goals are to cut cost-to-serve and operational complexity sharply, and to improve both convenience and quality for customers.

This Sr. TPM leads one or more multi-team technical programs within the UTRT charter. You'll own the program strategy, roadmap, architecture alignment, dependency and risk management, and the rollout across the store network. The right person can go deep with engineers on system design and integration choices. They're just as comfortable working with store operations leaders to make sure the technology works on the floor and delivers measurable business results.
