Description
The EC2 Demand and Forecasting team is looking for a Technical Program Manager to facilitate planning EC2 infrastructure. This role will require the candidate to work with internal customers to optimize their consumption of EC2 instances. Specifically, this individual will impact the overall Amazon CapEx plan by: working with the hundreds of AWS services & SDO teams to adopt different/new instances, creating new metrics to monitor the efficiency of team's use of EC2, and partnering with SDE teams in different orgs to decrease qualification times. This role works on a team of several other planners who divide the software teams into portfolios which allows the candidate to dive deep into the technical aspects of AWS products. The ideal candidate is one who has worked at the intersection of software engineering teams, finance, and supply chains; who can understand constraints from each group and work between worlds to create strategic plans to ensure EC2’s continued growth while optimizing for long-term efficiency.

In addition, we expect this role to work closely with SDE teams that are concurrently developing new software to help increase planning effectiveness.
