The Measurement and Data Science (MADS) Reporting Engines team is looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to own end-to-end delivery of complex engineering programs that scale petabyte-scale data pipelines and reporting infrastructure for Amazon Ads. You'll program-manage the evolution of measurement systems toward AI-powered, natural-language-driven insights while maintaining the accuracy and reliability that thousands of advertisers depend on daily.
This role requires technical depth in distributed systems and data pipelines - you'll make independent trade-off calls in design reviews, identify risks engineers haven't surfaced, and drive multi-quarter initiatives that shape the future of advertising measurement at Amazon. You'll work at the intersection of established infrastructure AI capabilities, managing programs where changes ripple across every Ads product - Sponsored Ads, DSP, AMC, and beyond.
Key job responsibilities
- Drive end-to-end delivery of large, complex infrastructure programs spanning multiple engineering teams, data pipelines, and dependent services with clear milestones, risk management strategies, and escalation paths
- Partner with engineering teams to define technical requirements and validate architectures for data-intensive distributed systems, engaging meaningfully in design reviews to identify scaling bottlenecks, second-order risks, and technical trade-offs
- Program-manage the evolution of reporting infrastructure to support AI-powered measurement interfaces - natural language queries, automated insights, and intelligent planning - while maintaining data accuracy and system reliability
- Create and ship mechanisms, automation, and process improvements that increase engineering velocity, reduce operational toil, and make delivery predictable without becoming a bottleneck
- Lead cross-organizational dependency coordination and stakeholder alignment across MADS, Sponsored Ads, DSP, AMC, and platform teams to sequence deliverables and resolve competing priorities
A day in the life
Your mornings start with reviewing pipeline metrics and running milestone stand-ups with engineering leads to track deliverables and resolve blockers. Midday involves cross-team coordination - dependency negotiations with partner teams, design reviews where you identify architectural risks, and escalation resolution when priorities conflict. Afternoons focus on strategic work: roadmap planning, building delivery mechanisms that eliminate manual toil, and leadership reviews where you present trade-off options and launch readiness recommendations. On any given day, you manage 4-5 active programs simultaneously while shipping automation that makes next week easier than last week.
About the team
MADS Reporting Engines owns the infrastructure that processes, stores, and serves campaign reporting data to advertisers at Amazon Ads scale. When advertisers open their console and see performance metrics - impressions, clicks, conversions, ROAS - that data flows through our systems. We process petabyte-scale data pipelines, serve hundreds of metrics to thousands of advertisers daily, and power reporting for every major Ads surface.
We're focused on scaling infrastructure to support new ad products and metrics, evolving toward near-real-time reporting, and powering next-generation AI-driven measurement interfaces. Our culture values engineering excellence, accuracy (advertisers make million-dollar decisions based on our numbers), automation over manual work, and ownership of outcomes. You'll work with MADS engineering teams, leadership, upstream data providers, downstream API teams, and Ads partner organizations across the company.
