This role combines tactical execution with strategic influenceyoull manage the full program lifecycle from architecture validation through fleet-wide deployment negotiate resources and priorities across engineering teams and make deliberate trade-offs between short-term delivery and long-term architectural goals.

As the Senior Technical Program Manager for Edge Network Scaling Engineering youll drive programs that shape how Amazons global network infrastructure evolves. Your day might include validating architecture decisions with engineering teams facilitating resource negotiations across Edge Engineering and AWS to align on deployment sequencing or translating infrastructure outcomes into financial impact for senior stakeholders. Youll work on initiatives like scaling native cloud network access from pilot programs to fleet-wide rollout establishing vendor qualification strategies that make adding WAN capacity a routine operation and building the governance structures that enable consistent program execution across multiple concurrent workstreams. Youll also mentor other program managers on best practices and contribute to technical assessments within the Edge organization. This role operates with limited guidanceyoull help define both the program strategy and technology solutions as theyre actively being shaped.
