Technical Program Manager IES DEX

Description

Opportunity to help build and lead a transformative program from the ground up!

Join us in a rare ground-floor opportunity to shape and lead a critical program within Amazons IES DEX organization. Were evolving from a successful proof of concept to an enterprise-scale operation in the Cart Building and Package Consolidation space, with a mission-critical goal of increasing Units Per Box, driving significant cost-to-serve savings for Amazon.

As a Technical Program Manager, youll be responsible for defining and managing the lifecycle of this complex, cross-functional program. Youll work across both customer-facing products and core infrastructure, orchestrating efforts throughout the entire shopping journey - from smart notification systems and interactive product detail widgets to sophisticated checkout flows and post-purchase experiences. On the infrastructure side, youll coordinate the development of high-throughput APIs, complex ML model integrations, and large-scale customer behavior datasets that drive decision-making across Amazon.

In this role, youll have the unique opportunity to directly influence Amazons bottom line while building a high-performing engineering team from the ground up.
