About The Position

We are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager to lead the technical evolution and execution of Alexa experiences on new tablet devices. This role sits at the intersection of tablet hardware, Alexa app, and Alexa domain teams, driving the end-to-end delivery of deeply integrated, differentiated Alexa capabilities across our tablet portfolio. You will be part of the core team defining the technical roadmap, align cross-organizational stakeholders, and ensure flawless execution of complex programs that shape how customers interact with Alexa on tablets. As a Principal TPM, you will operate with complete independence in an area where business and architectural strategy is still being defined. You will own the Alexa-on-Tablets technical roadmap, drive clarity across ambiguous problem spaces, and deliver large-scale engineering programs that span multiple organizations — including Tablet Software, Alexa App, Alexa AI/Domain Services, and Hardware teams.
