Principal Technical Program Manager Amazon
Seattle, WA

Job Description

Are you able to look around corners, see into the future, and change the world? Are your problem solving skills legendary? Do you excel at decomposing problems and inventing simple solutions? Can you influence development teams across multiple organizations to ensure the right technical solution is delivered?

Come build the next generation of technology for Amazon's Last Mile Technology team. The Last Mile Technology team builds services and apps to help deliver packages for businesses such as Prime Now, Amazon Flex, Amazon Fresh, Amazon Lockers and more! We are the team where the rubber meets the road (quiet literally) and do whatever it takes to keep the customer promise!

Our team is seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager to manage large, cross functional programs and projects that support Last Mile delivery. In this role you will be responsible for delivering complex projects end-to-end keeping Amazon's scale and quality in mind. LMT is a large, service-oriented architecture with thousands of individual components that work together to provide a single application experience. TPMs are the driving force of change at Amazon -- as a Principal TPM in LMT, you will drive the architecture of our next-generation platform capable of delivering billions of packages to our customers. You will drive the design and build functions for this new platform, and help ensure the platform is designed to minimize operational burden and the costs of future change. You will also anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. There are very few opportunities to design a system that operates at Amazon scale and throughput, so this is a highly visible position that will have a material impact on Amazon transportation for decades to come.
