As a Principal Technical Program Manager with FBA, you will lead broad cross-organization efforts from the early stages through release. You will work closely with product managers, engineering managers, scientists, and engineers to build the next generation of seller platforms. You will be responsible for influencing the organization's product and technical roadmap and technical architecture. You will drive organization-wide engineering and operational excellence initiatives, represent difficult trade-off decisions and solutions clearly to senior leaders, and leverage your technical knowledge to guide technical choices. You will manage cross-functional and cross-organization communication to ensure all stakeholders are informed and needs are aligned, guiding technical direction to deliver solutions that meet Amazon's high standards for customer satisfaction, efficiency, stability, extensibility, simplicity, and operational excellence.
Key job responsibilities
Lead broad, cross-organizational programs from strategy definition through delivery, owning the technology roadmap for seller-facing platforms and driving alignment across product, engineering, and science teams.
Define and decompose complex technical problems into clear solutions, assessing risk, driving clarity, and creating the right sense of urgency to keep programs on track.
Influence the organization's product and technical architecture by applying deep system knowledge, identifying gaps across services and workflows, and proposing improvements that reduce repeated effort year over year.
Partner with senior leadership to communicate trade-offs, present options, and drive decisions — managing cross-functional stakeholder alignment and escalating with strong judgment when necessary.
Amplify your impact by mentoring other technical program managers, driving adoption of program management best practices, and contributing to the broader technical community.
A day in the life
Your primary focus will be guiding large-scale, cross-team programs that directly shape how millions of sellers interact with Amazon's fulfillment network. You will spend your time working across product managers, engineering leaders, and scientists — aligning priorities, unblocking technical decisions, and ensuring delivery stays on course. Expect a mix of deep technical design reviews, strategic roadmap discussions with senior leaders, and hands-on problem solving when programs hit ambiguity.
