Our goal is to strengthen Amazon's workplace culture and develop leaders who earn trust, remove obstacles, and make Amazon an inspiring place to work.

The Connections team combines the culture of a startup, the innovation and creativity of a R&D lab, and technical challenges at the scale of Amazon. We expect TPMs, engineers, and management alike to take a high-level of ownership for the product vision, technical architecture, and project delivery. Successful candidates will be high-bandwidth leaders who can cut through the noise, simplify relentlessly, deliver results, and help build great teams around themselves.
