Looking forward to work in a start-up mode with a team of highly competent software engineers and Product leaders on the latest AWS technologies? Are you looking for an inclusive team, where you feel safe to be yourself, to share your ideas openly, to experiment, fail and learn, and where you help influence decisions that shape the team’s path forward? If so, here is an opportunity tailored for you.
Who we are? Within Prime Video Sports, we aspire to revolutionize the way our customers discover and watch live sports. From Thursday Night Football in the US to UEFA Champions League in UK, Germany and Italy, we’ve launched and scaled a state-of-the-art live streaming experience to Prime customers around the world. Beyond an error-free streaming experience, we've delighted fans by launching differentiated experiences, such as Rapid Recap to catch-up on key plays before joining a live game, and Defensive Alerts in the TNF broadcast to bring never-seen-before insights to NFL fans. With the NBA coming to Prime Video in 2025 and continued growth with live sports content from our channel partners, we're just getting started in making Prime Video the preferred destination for fans to watch Sports.
We are looking for a Principal Technical Program Manager for our team in Seattle, WA, to build innovative solutions for customers to discover engaging and personalized live content to enjoy.

If you’re a technical program manager, there’s a home for you in Seattle working on Prime Video Live Sports. Our leaders are great teachers, our engineers are world-class, and our products are fun.
What will you do? You will own and drive product features partnering with SDMs in our Seattle, WA Austin, TX and Arlington, VA teams. You'll collaborate with Prime Video teams including Catalog, Commerce, Offers, X-Ray, Prime Video Channels, Store Front Automation, devices and more. You will look around corners, anticipate bottlenecks, and use technical judgement to land complex programs for our business. You will also influence and shape how we execute and help drive velocity with high quality.
This role involves regular communication with senior, director, and VP level management on project status and risks, broad cross-team coordination on project execution, creating effective project management strategies to meet deliverables and organize teams, and regular updates to Critical Program Reviews and other reporting mechanisms.
If you’re excited about helping to build the future of live sports or just want to have fun creating something you can be proud to show your family and friends, reach out. We’d love to chat.
