We are looking for a Principal Technical Program Manager to own the lifecycle of the most complex, cross organizational programs driving this transformation. You will manage multiple concurrent workstreams spanning capacity intelligence, architecture modernization, agentic AI integration, persona driven workspace experiences, and new product incubation, stitching together a coherent narrative for executive leadership while proactively identifying and mitigating risk across every dimension.
This is not a role for someone who waits for problems to surface. You will operate at the intersection of deep technical understanding, methodical program execution, and executive influence, driving clarity where ambiguity exists, building mechanisms that scale cross functionally, and establishing trust with VPs and SVPs across AWS and AAIS leadership.
Key job responsibilities
Multi Workstream Program Ownership
Own end to end delivery of significantly complex, cross functional technical initiatives spanning multiple organizations across science, engineering, product, business, and data engineering. Drive simultaneous workstreams, including agentic AI integration, workspace persona experiences, architecture modernization, capacity forecasting and optimization, and new product incubation, with clear dependencies, milestones, and accountability. Stitch together disparate workstream narratives into a unified, coherent story for leadership reviews, QBRs, and S Team updates.
Proactive Risk Identification and Mitigation
Develop mechanisms to surface risk early: capacity gaps, service dependencies, migration blockers, science to production handoff delays, and timeline slips before they escalate. Own escalation paths and drive resolution at the right level. You are escalated to, not escalating up. Build data driven risk models that quantify trade offs between investment timing, technical debt, and customer experience, informing executive decision making with precision rather than intuition.
Technical Depth and Influence
Understand system architectures deeply enough to challenge engineering teams, spot risks in technical proposals, and drive simplification across a portfolio that spans ML inference pipelines, agent orchestration frameworks, desktop streaming protocols, and distributed infrastructure. Evaluate capacity plans, scaling signals, and architecture trade offs with confidence. Influence design decisions across service teams to unblock innovation, accelerate delivery, and ensure that science driven capabilities translate into production impact.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 7+ years of technical product or program management experience
- 10+ years of working directly with engineering teams experience
- 5+ years of software development experience
- Experience managing programs across cross functional teams, building processes and coordinating release schedules
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 8+ years of hands-on work managing complex technology projects experience
- Experience managing projects across cross functional teams, building sustainable processes and coordinating release schedules
