DESCRIPTION

Amazon.co.uk opened its virtual doors in October 1998, and strives to be the world's most customer-centric company, where customers can find and discover anything that they might want to buy online.

The Selection Contribution Platform team (SCP) owns the global systems that deliver a key part of that vision - we build the systems that allow Amazon carry the largest, highest quality and most up to date selection in the world.

As a member of the SCP, you will play a key role in building Amazon's business across the world. You will solve technical challenges in web-scale computing, distributed systems, web applications, data mining, machine learning, optimization, scalability, availability and algorithms to name a few.





Working with business teams to translate their needs into technical requirements you will build cutting-edge systems that meet challenging business and technical goals with Amazon efficiency so we can deliver great pricing to our customers. You will directly interact with Amazon's Development teams across the globe, to design and deliver the best solutions to grow Amazon in being earth's most customer centric company!

Opportunity
To meet these challenges, we are looking for a passionate, talented and super-smart Technical Program Manager who loves to work across (a) product management, (b) project management, and (c) software development! We're looking for someone who innovates, loves solving hard problems and never takes no for an answer. Our engineers are some of the best software developers in the industry, who work hard, have fun and make history.
With a broad technology and management toolbox you are able to develop the team and guide their technical implementations.





Your success will depend on your skills in understanding the big picture of Amazon's business and delivering incremental solutions contributing to the larger vision. As a TPM, you will be defining the product vision and roadmap in a data-driven and working backward (from customer) approach. You also need to be comfortable to work with tons of ambiguities, learn and iterate to crack hard problems. You will also take the roadmap forward into incremental implementation phases, bring teams across organizations together, anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. #techleader
