About The Position

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.
