Every day we face the challenges of a fast-paced market and expanding technology set. And we're building at a scale only Amazon is capable of.

Who we are:
We are deeply connected with the idea that live sports events are fundamentally different: there is only one shot at delivering the moment until it is forever lost. Our mission is to make sure that our customers never miss a single moment of the sports they love. To do this we need to deliver best-in-class live sports infrastructure, testing, monitoring, and operations to optimize the delivery of live sports experiences at scale.

Our team engineers for speed, quality, availability, and scale. As Prime Video has grown, we've increased the depth and breadth of video products we support, with a corresponding increase in the associated size and complexity of our engineering activity and the load on our services. Our goal is to adapt our architecture to maintain and improve our velocity of delivery for customers in the face of these changes, and for our services to be on and error-free 24/7, especially for high-profile, exclusive content.

With AI as a transformative force, we're at an inflection point that enables us to unlock new opportunities in predictive analytics, automated defect analysis and mitigation, and automated operations that were previously beyond our reach.
What we're looking for:
We need a highly talented Senior Technical Program Manager to build resilient, highly available, and operationally excellent systems that power our vision. You'll anticipate availability risks, manage critical incidents and escalations, and balance business SLA commitments against technical constraints and operational trade-offs.
You must break down complex reliability initiatives into manageable operational improvements, develop comprehensive availability specifications, and deliver measurable enhancements to system uptime and operational health. We seek someone with a strong curiosity to build and nurture an operationally mature, reliability-focused engineering culture-fostering proactive monitoring practices, blameless post-mortem disciplines, and integrating emerging observability and chaos engineering technologies into our operational excellence framework.
What you will do here:
You will own and drive product features partnering with SDMs in our Seattle,WA Austin, TX and Arlington, VA teams

You'll collaborate with Prime Video teams including Catalog, Commerce, Offers, X-Ray, Prime Video Channels, Store Front Automation, devices and more. You will look around corners, anticipate bottlenecks, and use technical judgement to land complex programs for our business. You will also influence and shape how we execute and help drive velocity with high quality.

You will manage complex, high-impact availability and operational excellence initiatives spanning multiple teams. Balance competing priorities while maintaining focus on system reliability, operational health, and measurable availability outcomes.
You will transform operational incidents, availability gaps, and reliability concerns into prioritized technical specifications by partnering with engineering and operations teams to identify high-impact reliability requirements. Help teams distinguish between tactical incident fixes and strategic availability solutions, consolidating related operational needs into cohesive reliability improvement projects with clear business value and customer impact.
This role involves regular communication with senior, director, and VP level management on project status and risks, broad cross-team coordination on project execution, creating effective project management strategies to meet deliverables and organize teams, and regular updates to Critical Program Reviews and other reporting mechanisms.
