Technical Program Manager, AppStar Data Analytics & Engineering

Description

Are you passionate about driving data and analytics programs that power security insights at scale? Do you want to make a difference by ensuring data-driven solutions are delivered on time and aligned with organizational needs?

As a Technical Program Manager on the AppStar DNA team (Data & Analytics Engineering), you will be the connective tissue between our technical teams (Data Engineers, Business Intelligence Engineers, Data Scientists, Applied Scientists) and our customers across the AppStar organization. You will ensure our team stays on track toward roadmap goals, work directly with customers to understand and execute their requests, collaborate with data providers to secure the data our team needs, and maintain a pulse on organizational needs and priorities.

You should be self-directed and open to new challenges, adept at prioritization, innovation, and collaborating with others. You'll routinely leverage your background in technical product ownership, process development, operational and management skills, project management, critical thinking, relationship-building, and problem-solving. You'll also find yourself challenged in unique ways when operating at the massive scale of Amazon, unique to a select few corporations in the world.

Amazon is continuously innovating new services and features for our customers. Our engineers invent, build, and sometimes break things to make them easier, faster, better, and more cost-effective. However, no matter what we're building—from websites to web services, AR to AI, drones to devices—security is always our top priority. The Amazon Application Security team focuses on working with our builders to provide experiences that our customers can trust. That means constantly learning new things and solving complex problems to protect the safety, security, and privacy of billions of lives on a global scale.

At Amazon, you'll be working with the best minds in technology and security. Learn and be curious here, and accelerate your career growth. You can take pride in knowing that your work is meaningful, having a positive impact on others and making the world a better place.
