DESCRIPTION

Identity Services are the guardians of Amazon's most sacred asset - customer trust! The stakes for authentication at Amazon have never been greater as Amazon expands more into customers' daily lives. Our guiding principle for authentication is simple; if we suspect an usage, we will deploy the most secure and appropriate available challenge, and if we do not, we will let the customer use Amazon unimpeded.

We are looking for a motivated Technical Program Manager (TPM) with the desire and talent to contribute to this vision. You must have a passion for keeping customer information safe while providing friction-free experiences, thrive on solving complex problems and relish the challenge of operating a complex and mission critical system under extreme loads. Come join our team of experts in building and supporting large scale services that are used billions of times a minute.

About Identity Services: Identity Services owns the systems that enable authenticating and identifying every Amazon customer in the world. Every aspect of the Amazon global business depends on our systems to know who the customer is, and if our systems are not up and running, the company stops. We balance keeping our systems fast, scalable and performant (no exceptions!) with rapidly delivering great features for Amazon customers and our developer partners. In short, we get to own and innovate on a critical customer experience while also supporting nearly every other business at the company; the best of both worlds!
