The Amazon Software Builder Experience organization is looking for an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to drive cross-cutting initiatives for the company wide Software Development toolchain hardening initiative. Our customers are some of the highest-scale and demanding software services in the world, including
AWS, amazon.com, Alexa, and Prime Video. And they expect that our software development comes secure by default and enables them to deliver value for their customers without worrying about toolchain related issues.
Our mission is to allow these teams to focus on developing software and spend less time thinking and working on safely and automatically getting it to where it needs to run. Our programs drive the evolution and growth of Amazon’s internal use of
serverless and container technologies, at scale. To continuously raise the bar on the Amazon builder experience, we focus on centralized automation, simplifying abstractions for complex software applications, and zero- and low-touch adoption of evolving best practices. As a central team, we often effect changes that have resounding impact, and partner with our internal customers to solve complex problems unseen at smaller scale. This position will need to be flexible and creative in tackling those new challenges.
