This is a challenging and highly visible position responsible for managing multiple projects and driving results across our teams.

We are the foundation for cloud networking upon which almost all other AWS services are built. Every time a customer launches a new virtual EC2 instance, our services are part of the instance launch process. As you go through your daily life at work or home, you can directly see the impact of our services on common popular applications such as , NFL, Prime Video, Netflix, Aibnb, Pinterest, Stripe, F1 racing, Comcast and so many others, along with Anthropic and OpenAI who are now running their LLM workloads using Amazon VPC networking.

• You'll drive software and networking programs to meet the ever-growing customer demand for our services.
• You'll manage competing cross-organizational projects on a global scale.
• You'll interact directly with Product Managers, Software Engineers, Engineering Managers, Technical Program Managers, and other senior leaders across multiple AWS organizations.
• You will run meetings, create and maintain timelines, and keep large, diverse groups informed of progress and obstacles. You will proactively identify blockers and resolve them before they impact projects.
• You'll work with engineers to develop detailed and creative solutions to complex problems. You will identify or create simple, scalable solutions for big problems.

Technical Program Managers in the VPC organization have a wide range of responsibilities: we work with Product Management and Engineering teams to build the core networking features and capabilities for all AWS customers. We drive programs which require coordination across multiple teams and disciplines to deliver the highest quality networking experience for our customers. As we own one of the largest public cloud networks in the world, there is no blueprint at our scale to solve every problem.

We encourage durable solutions that look around corners while taking into consideration our customer needs from a cost, performance, and reliability perspective. Come build with us!

The future of the cloud is networking and the future of networking is software-defined networking. Our team handles all of the AWS customer requests for creating and building their virtual network in the cloud - something we call the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This includes managing VPCs, Subnets, Security Groups, Internet Gateways (IGWs), Routes, Peerings, Elastic IPs (EIPs), and Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs).

Every time someone launches a new virtual instance within EC2, they are using one of our services. From a technical perspective, our services are written using a combination of Rust, Java, and C, along with a few other interesting internal proprietary technologies.

• 5+ years of technical product or program management experience
