Description Are you interested in helping guide the product strategy for Amazon DynamoDB? This is your opportunity to be an owner, builder, and an innovator for a distributed NoSQL database that hundreds of thousands of customers rely on daily. Together with a diverse team, you will work backwards from customer needs to define the future of DynamoDB. *Utility Computing (UC)* AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations - from foundational services such as Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), and consistently releases new product innovations that continue to set AWS's services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you'll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services. The DynamoDB team's mission is to serve the world's most critical and demanding applications. DynamoDB is a NoSQL database that delivers consistent performance at any scale. Many of the world's fastest growing businesses such as Disney+, Snap, and Zoom depend on the scale and performance of DynamoDB to support some of the world's most demanding applications. Hundreds of thousands of AWS customers choose DynamoDB for mobile, web, gaming, ad tech, IoT, and other applications that need low-latency data access at any scale. The primary responsibility of the Principal Product Manager - Technical (Principal PMT-ES) role is to own and drive key areas of the product. As a Principal Product Manager, you achieve this by defining the product strategy, roadmap, and pricing for a core set of capabilities. You also work with stakeholders to achieve the best outcomes for customer experience, adoption, and operational excellence. To be successful in this role, you should have meaningful product management experience leading products or features and a technical background (preferably in databases).

Examples include event-driven architectures, scalability/serverless, developer experience, data protection/security, price/performance, extensibility, global app development, and more. You will own the strategy for your area of focus, work backwards from customer needs, and leverage data such as service telemetry, user feedback, and industry trends to author PRFAQs, pricing, and naming narratives. As an owner, you will hold yourself and partners accountable for the highest quality customer outcomes. Launching a capability is only the start. After you launch, you are responsible for growing usage, iterating on customer feedback, and education. You partner with engineering, legal, documentation, marketing, sales, solution architecture, finance, GTM specialists, and more to drive growth. You provide clarity where there is ambiguity, you are a builder, and most importantly you are customer obsessed. Come build with us. A day in the life Given the scope and high level of ownership that product managers have on the DynamoDB team, rarely are two days the same. You are a business owner, customer-facing representative for the service, and point of contact for partner teams. On a weekly basis, you will be working with customers to learn about the problems they are trying to solve, analyzing service and business metrics, writing PRFAQs, pricing narratives, and naming documents, iterating on product decisions with the engineering team, working with partners in marketing, sales, solution architecture, legal, support, documentation, etc., thinking big to envision what is next, and exhibiting learn and be curious for different technologies, growth strategies, and market trends. On a daily basis, you'll have a chance to work with everyone who makes products at AWS successful, including senior leadership, engineers, business and sales experts, marketing, advocates, data scientists, content writers, and more. You will meet with customers to understand our core strengths and weaknesses. You will synthesize that feedback and other industry knowledge, with business and service data, to create strategies and test hypotheses. As someone central to the success of DynamoDB, people will look to you on a regular basis to solve problems and connect them with specialists. To develop that expertise, you'll constantly be looking to learn by reaching out to other experts within the company and in the larger tech community, using your own product by developing samples, demos, side-projects, and through mentorship. Our customers are developers and technical decision makers, so you will be using code, technical documentation, and architecture diagrams to understand problems and communicate solutions.
