About the role
What will you do at Amazon?
As part of the AWS Applied AI Solutions organization, we have a vision to
provide business applications, leveraging Amazon's unique experience and
expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day
operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers' businesses
through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve
enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon's
real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions.
We are looking for a Principal Product Manager, Technical to own and drive the
product strategy, revenue, and adoption for AI Agent Evaluations within our Core
Services AI Foundations team. You will be responsible for defining the long-term
vision and building the business around evaluation capabilities that enable
development teams to measure, benchmark, and continuously improve the quality,
safety, and reliability of their AI powered agents. This includes owning the
full product lifecycle from concept through GTM for evaluation tooling, quality
scoring methodologies, regression testing frameworks, and human review
workflows. You will own one or more products in production while also getting in
on the ground floor of new projects that bring evaluation capabilities to
customers worldwide.
As a Principal Product Manager, you will be part of the larger product
leadership community at AWS. This community plays a critical role in broad
business planning, working closely with senior management to develop business
targets and resource requirements, influencing long term technical and business
strategy, helping hire a talented team of PMs, and enabling us to deliver
solutions rapidly. You will be seen as the subject matter expert for AI
evaluation within Amazon AI.
A successful candidate will bring a passion for technology services, strong
business acumen and judgment, proven experience launching products and building
business around them, ability to define products, desire to have an industry
wide impact, and ability to work within a fast moving environment in a large
company to rapidly deliver services that have broad business impact. You will
work backward from the needs of development teams building agentic AI
applications and define how they assess agent behavior across dimensions
including correctness, safety, groundedness, and customer satisfaction. You will
partner closely with engineering and applied science teams to translate complex
evaluation methodologies into products that scale across diverse use cases and
agent architectures.
Key job responsibilities
• Lead product definition for AI agent evaluation capabilities, owning the
customer working backwards strategy, tenets, long term goals, and working
backwards documents including customer and market feedback, competitive
analysis, and business metrics to inform direction
• Define product vision including all aspects of future roadmap, investment,
innovation, and experimentation for automated evaluation pipelines, human review
workflows, and quality benchmarking tools
• Own execution of product planning and development including customer goals and
business requirements for product releases, ensuring implementation is aligned
with product goals, and ownership of product positioning
• Lead product launches owning GTM plans that deliver results ensuring customer
and business goals are met in operational launch plans
• Create and revise GTM strategy and be responsible for pricing new features and
updating pricing for existing features working closely with finance
• Work with field and BD teams to create customer funnel and drive POC to pilot
to production motions
• Be responsible for creating and reporting on the service's revenue and
customer traction through weekly and monthly business reports shared with
leadership
• Partner with applied scientists and engineers to translate research into
production grade product features
• Drive alignment across dependent teams (identity, observability, data
platform) to ensure evaluation signals integrate seamlessly with the broader
Core Services AI Foundations platform
• Lead interaction with the technical team including helping make tradeoffs
based on customer requirements and QA/testing of the product
A day in the life
You split your time between building the business (developing partnership
strategy, earning trust with stakeholders, defining GTM) and building the
product (writing requirements, working closely with engineering, driving
launches). On any given day you might be meeting with a customer's engineering
leadership to understand how they assess agent quality at scale, presenting
product strategy and business results to senior leadership, reviewing a pricing
model with finance, working with field teams on a customer POC, or collaborating
with applied scientists on how to productize new evaluation research. You
operate with high independence across ambiguous problem spaces, make tradeoffs
across competing priorities, and own outcomes from requirements through launch
and sustained business growth.
