Our services support businesses across the Amazon portfolio including AWS, Amazon.com, Kuiper, Twitch, Prime Video, MGM Studios, Whole Foods Market, and more! Some of our services are visible and used by Amazonians every day (e.g. human multi-factor authentication), but most of our services are operating behind the scenes.

You will be responsible for driving and delivering multiple complex projects simultaneously.

You will provide technical leadership that gets software services built, delivered and adopted. You will work closely with stakeholders across various design, software and business teams to identify and drive innovative solutions that achieve business goals and align with long-term product roadmaps. You will strive to balance robust security and seamless user experience, raising the security bar while minimizing user interaction complexity.
Key job responsibilities
Our ideal candidate will have a strong TPM/PM background, with demonstrated experience leading cross-organizational technical programs, and will have a deep technical background in building of the identity directory solutions and improving its security posture. The candidate will possess strong written and verbal communication skills, strong project management and time management skills, and have a successful track record of delivering large-scale engineering programs. The desire and ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment is essential.
This is a high-impact opportunity with interesting challenges and high visibility.
