Description

Are you excited about the opportunity to join a diverse team working together to influence the direction of innovative new cloud database technologies? Does contributing to engineering and business strategy for a new database service excite you? If so, the role of Principal Product Manager in the AWS In-memory databases organization may be your dream job.

Utility Computing (UC)

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Your primary responsibility as a Principal Product Manager – Technical (PMT) is to help accelerate the product development and business growth of the In-memory database products. A principal PMT achieves this growth by shaping and leading product strategy – turning insights and customer feedback into plans that accelerate product delivery. This includes taking ownership of roadmap prioritization, and contributing to feature development by acting as the voice of the customer throughout the software development lifecycle. You will collaborate directly with software engineering teams, and interact with the senior management team within the AWS databases organization.

In this position, you will play a pivotal role defining the product requirements and go-to-market strategy for our customers. This role will require coordination across many internal and external teams and will be visible at the highest levels of the company. You’ll work with our customers, partners, software vendors, and operational stakeholders to prioritize roadmap features, and spearhead the definition of new capabilities through expertly crafted business requirements documents.

A successful candidate will demonstrate proven product management skills with experience delivering features for large scale database systems. The candidate will be comfortable managing competing priorities and be able to bring clarity and order to ambiguous scenarios. The candidate will demonstrate subject matter expertise for database technology. Exemplary written and verbal communication skills are important, as the candidate will frequently work with leadership and colleagues that cross organizational boundaries.
