Technical Program Manager - EC2 Load Balancing Amazon
Seattle, WA

Job Description

We're seeking a Technical Program Manager for Amazon Web Services, Load Balancing team. In this role, you will be responsible for scoping and delivering large projects end-to-end for load balancing. Responsibilities include collection of business and systems requirements from internal and external customers, writing specifications, driving project schedules from design to release, and managing the production launch. You will lead and coordinate design/implementation efforts between internal teams and product management to develop optimal solutions. You will be expected to make appropriate tradeoffs to optimize time-to-market, clearly communicate goals, roles, responsibilities, and desired outcomes to internal cross-functional and remote project teams.

The right candidate will possess a strong program management background, will have demonstrated experience leading medium to large projects, and will have a well-rounded technical background in web services technologies focused on networking and transport layer security (TLS). You will need to understand and dive deep into details with an understanding of networking concepts and terminology, strong web application development experience, and an ability to understand customer applications. This is a hyper-growth environment where priorities shift quickly. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in and get the job done. As a TPM, you will anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. An ability to take large, complex projects and break them down into manageable pieces, develop functional specifications, then deliver them in a successful and timely manner is expected. Maturity, high judgment, negotiation skills, ability to influence, analytical talent and leadership are essential to success in this role.
