The role
From Amazon's own posting.
The Velocity Labs team mission is to think beyond the confines of the normal product-orientated approach and to discover new ways to apply and embrace agentic AI. We have noticed how the open-source community, and some of our competitors, experiment with new ideas, and deliver initial products fast. With Velocity Labs we are building an organization that can move faster, explore more, and make sure AWS is at the cutting edge of innovation in agentic AI.
You’ll join a deeply technical team that includes applied scientists, software developers, and other technical product managers. You’ll have the opportunity to partner with a wide variety of teams that are involved in building foundational agentic services for AWS, as well as a wide variety of agentic services that target different personae (e.g., software developers and business users) and use cases. The industry is at an inflection point related to foundation models, generative AI and agentic use cases; you will be a key player for AWS in this historic period of innovation.
We are specifically looking for a Principal Technical Product Manager who brings core skills in working backward from customer needs and also a high degree of skill in partnering with experts in automated reasoning. It is neither necessary nor expected that you be an automated reasoning expert, but it is critically important that you have the ability to develop collaborative relationships with such experts so that together you can understand what is possible, then work together to make that happen.
