About the role
What will you do at Amazon?
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager, Technical with a strong technical
background to own our vision for the operator console that Amazon's
next-generation fulfillment buildings are run on. This is a deeply technical
role. You will work side by side with software development managers, science
managers, and engineers, and you will push them to build better, faster, and
cheaper with more capability every quarter. We are not looking for someone to
ship another monitoring dashboard. We want someone who drives the team past
monitoring and alarms toward a building that catches and resolves its own
problems before a human ever sees them.
That ambition is concrete: move each capability up an arc from a health
overview, to automated root-cause on an issue, to a recommended next best
action, to directed and eventually autonomous resolution. You will own how far
and how fast our equipment advances along that arc, and you will hold
engineering and science to the bar that gets us there. This is also a role for
someone who leads through influence. The console is built jointly across several
Amazon organizations, so you will be the single product voice for how our
equipment works in it, aligning partner teams you do not control and turning
several groups' priorities into one coherent product. The strategy is still
being written, so you will create clarity where the problem is not yet fully
defined.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the product strategy, vision, and multi-quarter roadmap for how our
equipment shows up in the console, and push it up the arc from monitoring toward
autonomous resolution.
- Engage engineering and science leaders as a technical peer: challenge
complexity estimates, weigh architecture trade-offs on their merits, and define
acceptance criteria for software that runs a live building for years.
- Be the single product voice for our organization across the partner teams that
co-build the console, earning alignment through shared interest rather than
escalation and reconciling competing priorities into one experience.
- Own the business value case for your product, cost to run versus operational
value delivered, and make build, extend, or partner calls with clear
justification.
- Run customer research in live fulfillment buildings, manage deployment
readiness with Operations, sequence inbound demand against committed launches,
and own the post-launch health of what you ship against adoption, reliability,
cost avoided, and customer satisfaction.
A day in the life
What your morning will look like if we are successful: You start with overnight
telemetry across deployed sites and a class of alarm the system should have
caught and cleared on its own, which becomes your next roadmap push. Mid-morning
you are with your engineering lead pressure-testing whether an automated
root-cause capability can hit the latency it needs at the data volume a live
building throws at it, and you hold the line on the harder, better answer. After
lunch you align partner-team product leaders on how their data and your
equipment views coexist in one screen, then run office hours with floor
technicians during a surge to see where the product still makes them think too
hard. You end the day walking a deployment readiness checklist with Operations
for a building commissioning next quarter. Your customers are the operators,
engineers, and technicians who use your product every day in fulfillment
buildings.
About the team
We are a division within Amazon Fulfillment Technology and Robotics focused on
standardizing the equipment and systems that make up our first, middle, and last
mile facilities. We are a passionate group of innovators, engineers, and
business leaders dedicated to reducing the variability and complacency in our
current logistics systems, and we thrive on collaboration, continuous learning,
and a shared vision of bringing innovation and scalability back to our
automation equipment.
Amazon installs a significant quantity of new buildings every year, and the
historical model let each integrator use its own equipment, controls, and
methods. That variability has proven hard to support and scale. Our software
organization delivers the platforms, controls architecture, and AI and
computer-vision capabilities that let Amazon own its industrial automation
ecosystem end to end, and this console is where a building becomes legible to
the people who run it, moving operations from reacting to problems toward
resolving them before they surface.
