Principal Technical Program Manager, AWS Applied AI Solutions - Core Services

As part of the AWS Applied AI Solutions organization (AAIS), we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon's unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We accomplish this by accelerating our customers' businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon's real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use. We are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager to lead program execution for Mosaic, our strategic platform initiative delivering seven foundational pillars (Identity, Data and Knowledge, Foundational Agents, Evaluation, Onboarding, User Experience, and Data Analytics and Observability) that accelerate how AAIS teams build production-grade AI agents and applications. You will drive end-to-end delivery across multiple engineering teams, manage complex cross-organizational dependencies, and establish the mechanisms that transform Mosaic from an early-stage initiative into a scaled platform serving all of Applied AI Solutions. This role requires deep technical acumen in distributed systems and AI/ML infrastructure, a demonstrated ability to operate at principal-level scope across organizational boundaries, and the judgment to make trade-offs that balance speed of delivery with long-term platform coherence. The Core Services AI Foundations team within AWS Applied AI Solutions builds the foundational platform that enables application development teams to ship production-grade AI agents and applications with confidence. We provide the shared infrastructure, tooling, and guardrails that handle the hardest cross-cutting concerns in agentic AI: evaluation, identity and access management, observability and analytics, data and knowledge management, foundational agents, and user experience. Our customers are AAIS builder teams developing AI-powered enterprise applications for contact center, supply chain, healthcare, and life sciences domains. We reduce development time from months to days by abstracting complexity and eliminating undifferentiated heavy lifting. This role combines the ownership of a startup environment with the scale of AWS. You will help chart the course for how AWS builds AI products.
