DESCRIPTION

Amazon Lab126 is an inventive research and development company that designs and engineers high-profile consumer electronics. Lab126 began in 2004 as a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., originally creating the best-selling Kindle family of products. Since then, we have produced groundbreaking devices like Fire tablets, Fire TV, Amazon Echo and, more recently, Ring devices. What will you help us create?

Do you care deeply about privacy? Do you believe customers should have control over their personal information? Do you want to help build systems that respect the customer and enable responsible use of personal data at scale? Do you want to make privacy experiences more usable so customers can make good choices and avoid silly mistakes that can harm them? Do you worry anonymized data could be relinked to a customer? Do you want to help define the principles and best practices for how to perform facial recognition, machine learning, and AI while protecting privacy?

If you are customer-obsessed and love privacy, we have a job for you! Amazon's Digital Privacy team is growing and looking for a seasoned Senior Technical Program Manager.

The Privacy team's goal is to enable business growth and drive innovation while honoring data policies and controls that help protect customer privacy. You will have an enormous opportunity to impact the customer experience, design, architecture, and implementation of cutting-edge products and services. You will help lead key initiatives across the device and services organization. You will help teams design their systems and customer experiences in a manner that upholds our high bar for customer trust. You will partner and work across disciplines including engineering, marketing, legal and business.

Your focus is to help the organizations develop the principles, processes, tools, technologies, and infrastructure to ensure we protect the privacy of our customers and deepen the trust they have for Amazon. This includes finding new ways to streamline and scale these efforts across the suite of Amazon consumer devices (Ring, Echo, Kindle, Fire Tablet, FireTV, etc.) as well as key services that supports them.

As a Senior Technical Program Manager in Privacy, you will help build privacy programs and processes, anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, and balance customer and business needs versus technical constraints. An ability to take large, complex projects and break them down into manageable pieces, develop functional specifications, and then deliver them in a successful and timely manner is expected.

Note: While the majority of our /Privacy roles are based in the Bay Area, CA and Seattle, WA areas, by applying to this position your application will be considered for all locations we hire for in the United States, including but not limited to: Seattle, WA; Bellevue, WA; Sunnyvale, CA, Austin TX.
