Senior Technical Program Manager, Amazon FSx
Posted Updated
Description
Amazon FSx provides fully managed, high-performance file storage that powers some of the most critical workloads running on AWS today, from GPU-heavy AI/ML training to high-performance computing (HPC) and enterprise applications. We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to own end-to-end delivery of programs that span multiple FSx engineering teams and partner organizations across AWS and other companies.
In this role, you will turn ambiguous, multi-quarter goals into plans with clear milestones, owners, and critical paths, then drive them to launch. You will go deep enough technically to challenge designs, broker trade-offs between teams, and recognize when a plan is off track before the schedule says so. This is not a status-reporting role. If you are a collaborative problem-solver who thrives on bringing order to complexity at cloud scale.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the integrated plan for cross-team FSx programs, including scope, schedule, dependencies, risks, and critical path, from concept through general availability and regional expansion.
- Partner with product managers, principal engineers, and software development managers to define and sequence the FSx technical roadmap, making explicit trade-offs between scope, date, and quality.
- Manage dependencies on partner teams across AWS (EC2, networking, S3, EBS, identity, and infrastructure) and external companies.
- Define and track the KPIs that matter for a storage service, such as launch predictability, capacity headroom, availability, latency, and operational load, and use them to drive durable improvements.
- Drive operational excellence and automation programs that reduce undifferentiated work, including adoption of generative AI tooling across engineering teams, and communicate progress through crisp written narratives to Directors and VPs.
A day in the life
You start your morning reviewing service and program metrics for the FSx launches you own. By mid-morning, you are running a cross-functional alignment meeting with engineers and product managers, driving crisp decisions on competing priorities and surfacing risks early. After lunch, you join a technical design review where you pressure-test assumptions and help the team navigate a key architectural trade-off. Later, you draft a program update for senior AWS leadership, translating complex dependencies into clear recommendations and next steps.
