Technical Program Manager III, Amazon CloudWatch

Come help customers observe and operate their cloud with confidence!

Amazon CloudWatch is the backbone of monitoring and observability for AWS. CloudWatch enables customers to collect, access, and correlate metrics, logs, traces, and events across their entire AWS environment — giving them the tools to detect anomalies, set alarms, visualize data side by side, take automated actions, troubleshoot issues, and discover insights to keep their applications running smoothly.

We're looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to drive cross-team programs that span the breadth of CloudWatch — from Logs and Metrics to Alarms, Dashboards, and beyond. You'll partner with engineering teams, product managers, and senior leadership to deliver capabilities that impact virtually every AWS customer.

*Mentorship & Career Growth*
Our team is dedicated to supporting team members at every stage of their career. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we celebrate knowledge sharing and mentorship. We care about your growth and try to align projects with your development goals.

*Inclusive Team Culture*
We are intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining amazing talent from diverse backgrounds. We're looking for a teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers — someone who will help us amplify the positive and inclusive team culture we've been building.
