Amazon Connect Customer is an AI-native customer experience foundation that enables businesses to deliver engaging, dynamic, and personal customer service experiences. With Amazon Connect Customer, businesses deploy intelligent self-service across voice and digital channels that understands natural language, reasons across knowledge sources, and takes action on behalf of customers. Amazon Connect Customer leverages agentic AI across AWS and Amazon services including Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Lex, Amazon Polly, and Amazon Transcribe to deliver sub-second voice latency, human-like conversational quality, and self-healing intelligence that detects where AI fails and continuously improves.

As a Product Manager on our team, you will drive strategic initiatives from conception through completion. You will work cross-functionally across teams to solve challenging problems using the latest technologies. You will make data-driven, customer-obsessed decisions and work with leadership across AWS to prioritize your programs.

The position is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing business at the cutting edge of applied AI and help shape the technology and product as we grow. You will work on agentic systems, speech and conversational AI, and self-healing feedback loops that are redefining how businesses and their customers interact at scale. You will play a crucial role in developing the next generation of AWS application services and have the opportunity to design and deliver high-scale, resilient systems while maintaining a constant customer focus.
