The Fire TV devices team is looking for a Principal TPM to help with launching FireTV devices. In this role, you’ll work across many groups and get broad exposure to the entire business. From software engineering to sales, product marketing to customer service, from hardware engineering to operating system, and the myriad teams throughout Amazon that are writing code for user experiences on the devices. We sit at the center of the product and have incredible breadth of impact and opportunity. At the same time, in the midst of this big organization you will get the opportunity to have true ownership and effect real change to the product and the business.

Key job responsibilities
Principal TPM need to not only excel in operating at a strategic level but also need to understand when to dive deep to keep the project on track. Specifically, Principal TPM must set the bar on the ability to discover the true requirements underlying feature requests, recommend alternative technical and business approaches, and lead engineering efforts to meet aggressive timelines. Along with that, Principal TPMs need to clearly and concisely communicate, both verbally and in writing, with senior management on status, risks and required mitigations to maintain project commitments. Principal TPMs are expected to support the team in making appropriate trade-offs to optimize time-to-market, clearly communicate goals, roles, responsibilities, and desired outcomes to internal cross-functional and remote project teams. This role is a good fit for someone creative, who has strong customer focus and product sense, combined with an established track record in consumer technology products, connected devices, and a real passion for TV and mobile video entertainment.

A day in the life
This role will test your skills across the board, including
- Massive cross-group coordination
- Ability to deeply understand platform level technologies
- Hard-core data analysis and reporting
- Influence technical architecture/design decisions, advocate for awesome user experiences, put in place useful processes, rip out useless processes, get in the code when necessary, and always be inventing a better way to do things
