Amazon's Global Services for Devices (GSD) team is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to own the delivery of services that run on every warehouse handheld device across Amazon's global fulfillment network. We build the software layer between the associate and the device: identity, authentication, real-time tracking, printing, provisioning, and the home screen experience. Our services authenticate every device session, track device location and handling behavior, deliver configuration to hundreds of thousands of devices, and provide the printing infrastructure that keeps fulfillment moving.
This is a role for someone who loves working directly with engineers on hard projects. You will own the technical strategy and delivery of programs that span serverless backends, Android applications, and cross-region distributed systems. You will read architecture documents, challenge design proposals, identify scaling risks before they become outages, and drive teams to ship.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the lifecycle of cross-functional programs spanning identity services, device tracking, printing infrastructure, and fleet-scale mobile applications. Define mission, objectives, success criteria, and delivery milestones.
- Drive architecture decisions by understanding system boundaries, scaling constraints, and failure modes across serverless backends, Android applications, and IoT messaging systems.
- Translate undefined requirements into actionable plans with clear dependencies and risk mitigations. Define program scope where none exists.
- Negotiate priorities and resources across teams. Unblock delivery by finding paths forward where teams have competing constraints.
- Coordinate multi-service launches that require synchronized delivery across backend services, Android applications, and operator tooling.
- Own organizational roadmap contributions including OP1/OP2 narratives. Write 6-pagers and present to Directors and VPs.
- Reduce exposure to failure modes: insufficient requirements, cross-team misalignment, untested assumptions, and architecture that does not match the business case.
A day in the life
Mornings start with standup and reviewing program status. You spend focused time reading a design document for a new device tracking feature, identifying a dependency on a partner team's API, and scheduling a working session to resolve the interface contract. After lunch you run a cross-team alignment meeting where the identity service team and the Android application team need to align on a credential delivery mechanism and rollout sequence. Later you review deployment metrics for a recently launched feature at pilot sites, notice adoption is tracking below target, and draft a follow-up plan. You close the day by updating your program narrative with current status and next actions.
