Technical Infrastructure Program Manager – Amazon – Vancouver, BC

Vancouver’s tech scene has a standout opportunity for an experienced program manager ready to work at massive scale. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is hiring a Technical Infrastructure Program Manager (TIPM) for its Network Engineering team — the group responsible for building and maintaining what is arguably the largest network in the world. If you thrive on complex, multi-disciplinary projects and want to work on the cutting edge of global cloud computing infrastructure, this role is worth your attention.

This isn’t a typical PM desk job. Day to day, you’ll be leading end-to-end delivery of network infrastructure changes and upgrades across Amazon data centres, coordinating across engineering teams, vendor partners, and senior leadership. You’ll shape how technology solutions are delivered at scale and directly influence the reliability of cloud services used by millions of customers worldwide.

About the Role: Technical Infrastructure Program Manager

As a TIPM on the Network Engineering team, you’ll own the full lifecycle of complex networking programs — from planning and design through procurement, scheduling, execution, and reporting. You’ll manage cross-functional projects that span network operations, infrastructure engineering, internal project management, and external vendors. Your ability to identify risks early, remove blockers, and navigate ambiguity with structured thinking will be critical to success.

Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential in this role, as you’ll be regularly interfacing with everyone from frontline engineers to senior leadership. You’ll also be expected to mentor team members, participate in hiring, and contribute to process improvement initiatives at both the team and organizational level. A solid working knowledge of networking and data centre technologies is required to credibly engage with technical stakeholders.

Benefits and Salary

The base salary range for this position in Vancouver, BC is $128,100 to $214,000 CAD annually. As a total compensation employer, Amazon’s package may also include sign-on payments and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), with final compensation determined by experience, qualifications, and location. Benefits include health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, basic life and AD&D), a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP), paid time off, and additional resources to support health and well-being.

Responsibilities

This role sits at the intersection of technical expertise and program leadership. Each day involves coordinating with project teams to track delivery timelines, planning future initiatives, and driving continuous improvement across networking programs that support AWS new regions, availability zones, and landing zones. Your work directly enables the infrastructure that keeps AWS running globally.

• Monitor and manage network infrastructure build health, customer demand forecasting, risk identification, and corrective actions
• Collaborate with stakeholders including network engineers, technical program managers, and senior leadership to define requirements and processes
• Manage project dependencies and interfaces between workstreams, negotiating trade-offs as needed to keep programs on track
• Lead cross-functional projects simultaneously across multiple organizational teams in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Interact daily with engineers, technicians, project managers, and senior management to ensure alignment and momentum
• Analyze and visualize data using tools such as Redshift, Oracle, Tableau, and QuickSight to inform decisions and report on program status
• Drive automation and simplification initiatives in engineering and project management to remove friction and unblock innovation
• Mentor team members and actively participate in hiring to build a high-performing program management function

Requirements / Skills

Amazon is looking for a candidate who combines deep program management experience with genuine technical fluency in data centre and networking environments.

• 5+ years of data centre or network infrastructure experience in capacity planning, program/project management, or related technical roles
