Enable businesses to focus on building the next generation of data-reactive solutions using Apache Kafka without having to worry about undifferentiated operational overhead.
AWS customers such as Goldman Sachs, Compass and New Relic use Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) to rapidly innovate on real-time data to advance solutions and build new lines of business. The types of real-time solutions customers are building are vast but include machine learning for autonomous applications, autonomous detection of security anomalies within a network, transforming and loading data into data lakes in near real-time, and processing real-time data to optimize and feed ad exchanges. AWS customers are just scratching the surface of the real-time data streaming space, and we are looking for a Sr. Product Manager to drive the vision of Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) and build the features and services users want.
Utility Computing (UC) AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
Key job responsibilities As a Senior Product Manager (Technical) you will drive product management for the service. You will own driving the feature roadmap on behalf of our customers in partnership with a highly-talented engineering team to focus energies on the most important things for the business. You will also be a business owner, working closely with finance, marketing, business development, technical field community, and product management peers to ensure the service has the right positioning, messaging, and enables compelling use cases across AWS’ overall big data platforms. You will drive the rhythm of the business and ensure delivery to support business goals.
Our ideal candidate is excited about technologies and services within the real-time streaming data space. You are naturally customer-centric – working backwards from their needs, and thrive in a fast-paced environment that requires strong technical and business judgment and exemplary communication skills. This leader will need to exhibit excellent decision making — prioritizing between existing versus new customers and between features, architectural improvements, and operational excellence. You are a strong business owner who is comfortable sharing their vision with AWS senior leadership, but also working closely with engineering teams to dive deep into details to make ideas into reality.
