With 114+ components, 80+ patterns, generative AI tooling, and an open-source presence on Git Hub, Clouds cape powers every customer-facing surface of the AWS console and defines the visual and interaction language for the AWS platform.

We are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to drive strategic adoption programs at scale, create governance mechanisms for design system usage, build business reporting, and support a high-performing team of 35+ designers and engineers. In this role, you'll operate at the intersection of technical program management and platform strategy - ensuring hundreds of teams across AWS successfully adopt Clouds cape while continuously improving how our team operates through AI-powered mechanisms and data-driven insights.

This is a senior individual contributor role requiring someone who can build alignment across organizational boundaries, create clarity from ambiguity, and drive outcomes that directly impact the quality and consistency of the AWS customer experience.

You jump into a stakeholder sync with an engineering director whose team is blocked on their adoption timeline, quickly unblocking them by connecting them with the right Clouds cape engineers. Mid-morning, you prototype an AI agent that auto-generates weekly adoption progress summaries.
