Role summary
AWS Database Services is seeking a Principal Technical Product Manager to lead the reimagining of database lifecycle management for AWS builders. This role involves defining scalable platform capabilities for millions of database instances, focusing on intuitive user experiences for both IT developers and AI agents. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in technical product management, delivering large-scale SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS products, and a background in software development or related technical fields. Experience with AI services integration, UI/UX creativity, and platform engineering is preferred.
The Database Services team is looking for an exceptional product leader. This role is a rare intersection of UI/UX creativity, database foundations, agentic development, and scale across a fleet of millions of compute instances.
We need someone who can reimagine the entire database lifecycle for the next generation of AWS builders. The challenge is to take complex database operations and make them intuitive and scalable. You'll define platform capabilities that operate at extraordinary scale, systems that manage millions of database instances. You'll design how we keep customers, both IT developers and AI-based agents, informed, ensuring they always know what's happening with their critical infrastructure. Most importantly, you'll give customers more control over their database experience—transforming what has traditionally been a source of anxiety into something they can confidently manage on their own terms.
We're looking for an exceptional product manager, a builder who's obsessed with delivering for the next generation of AWS customers.
