Job Description
DESCRIPTION
How do you get items to customers quickly, cost-effectively, and—most importantly—safely, in less than an hour? And how do you do it in a way that can scale? Our teams of hundreds of scientists, engineers, aerospace professionals, and futurists have been working hard to do just that! We are delivering to customers, and are excited for what’s to come. Check out more information about Prime Air on the About Amazon blog (
If you are seeking an iterative environment where you can drive innovation, apply state-of-the-art technologies to solve real world delivery challenges, and provide benefits to customers, Prime Air is the place for you.
Come work on the Amazon Prime Air Team!
This is a highly visible position with significant impact and growth. To be successful in this role, you are customer obsessed and have sharp business acumen to build a product vision and roadmap that contributes to the success of both our internal and external customers. You are a technical leader with track record of building and growing engineering and data teams. You ship error free software and own the day-to-day maintenance and evolution of systems that serve the needs of clients. We are looking for a leader who can thrive in a startup environment, thinks big, can move fast, and find ways to improve customer experiences and tech capabilities.
Key job responsibilities
Own technical vision and direction: You identify and mitigate risks, construct project schedules, and prepare status reports; you embrace performance metrics and measurement techniques because they help you assess how well system-related services are running.
Develop your team: You'll be accountable for developing an engineering team that delivers results. This means you'll wear a lot of hats — from coaching individuals, to leading technical discussions, recruiting, establishing processes, and so on. You'll be an example of Amazon's leadership principles and work to grow more leaders within your group.
Collaborate on product direction: You’ll build and maintain strong relationships between engineering, product management and partner disciplines (Systems, Operations, Safety) to ensure that we're focused on delivering the right product for customers.
Lead beyond your team: You will be a key leader within Prime Air's Airspace Mission Orchestration Systems (AMOS) organization. You'll share your best practices and technical acumen in order to drive technology decisions across our organization.
About the team
Prime air has ambitious goals to offer its service to an increasing number of customers and enabling a large number of concurrent flights is central to achieving this.
