We are seeking an ambitious Technical Program Manager to join our Metrics and Data Platform team at Amazon Music. The Metrics and Data Platform team plays a central role in enabling Amazon Music's business decisions and software development by processing billions of streaming events and delivering the behavioral and operational metrics that teams across Music, Prime, and Retail depend on every day.
