Senior PMT - External Services, Amazon Cognito

Security is an important consideration for customers moving to the cloud, and all applications need an identity solution for end users. Amazon Cognito helps customers secure the most critical user data including credentials of the users of their applications. We provide easy-to-use authentication, authorization, and user management for web and mobile apps, either directly with a username and password, or through a third-party identity provider such as Facebook, Amazon, or Google.

Increasingly more applications are going digital and the demand for a secure digital identity for the consumers of these applications is growing. Existing digital applications are looking to improve their consumer?s identity by moving to a cloud-based solution which is more secure, scalable, standards compliant, and removes the need for them to hire identity experts. Amazon Cognito is on a mission to reinvent how users authenticate by reducing user friction and at the same time increasing the security of the process. This will involve reimagining how authentication should work and how it can get smarter in determining the security posture of each request an end user makes.

We are seeking an entrepreneurial and innovative technical Senior Product Manager to conceptualize, drive, and deliver the strategy and product roadmap for Amazon Cognito. In this role, you will be responsible for working closely with engineering, marketing, sales, finance, and other partner teams to define and execute a high-impact roadmap of features that simplify how customers use Amazon Cognito. You will work backwards from the customer to understand their challenges and needs and define experiences that make it easy for customers to enable seamless end-user sign-up and sign-in experiences, providing an always-on internet scale authentication and authorization for end users. You will also define capabilities that provide a fully featured customer identity experience with strong, adaptive protection mechanisms and access to cutting-edge techniques that help prevent, detect, mitigate, and respond to today's evolving threat landscape. You will be responsible for product exploration and design, and work with a dedicated team of talented engineers to build and launch these products. Candidates should enjoy working in a collaborative, analytical, and fast-paced environment and be comfortable interacting with highly technical cross-functional teams. Ideal candidates dive deep into data, have strong writing skills, and can confidently lead teams to alignment in ambiguous problem spaces.
