Containers are redefining how customers build, deploy, and run applications. Increasingly, they need those capabilities beyond the cloud. The Amazon Container Services team is looking for a Senior Product Manager (Technical) to define the future of Kubernetes across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments.

You will own product strategy and development for EKS's hybrid offerings: EKS Hybrid Nodes, EKS Anywhere, and our growing partner ecosystem. That means everything from vision and feature definition through prioritization, positioning, and GTM/adoption.

We want someone who has solved customer problems at the intersection of cloud and on-premises infrastructure. You should have a track record of working backwards from ambiguous enterprise needs and turning them into products that customers love, whether those customers run workloads in data centers, at the edge, or across hybrid environments.

Working closely with engineering teams, you will see the direct impact of your work on customers operating Kubernetes in constrained environments: air-gapped networks, compliance-driven deployments, bare-metal infrastructure, and latency-sensitive workloads. This is a high-visibility role that interacts with all levels of AWS leadership.

Our ideal candidate brings deep familiarity with on-premises infrastructure, enterprise IT, or hybrid cloud platforms. You understand how organizations operate Kubernetes outside of public cloud: the operational pain, the partner ecosystem, and the enterprise buying motion. You thrive in a fast-paced environment that requires strong technical and business judgment.

You will define product requirements and go-to-market strategy for customers running containers in hybrid environments. The role requires coordination across engineering, sales, partners, and solutions architecture, as well as external ecosystem partners. You'll work with enterprise customers, hardware/infrastructure partners, and software vendors to prioritize roadmap features and define new capabilities.

Key job responsibilities
- Own product strategy, roadmap, and feature definition for EKS hybrid and on-premises offerings (EKS Hybrid Nodes, EKS Anywhere, partner integrations)

- Work backwards from enterprise customer needs to define product requirements for hybrid Kubernetes deployments across data centers, edge, and air-gapped environments

- Lead customer engagements (enterprise accounts, ISVs, infrastructure partners) to collect requirements and validate product direction

- Partner with engineering to prioritize and deliver features across the full product lifecycle, from concept through launch and adoption

- Build and execute go-to-market plans in coordination with sales, solutions architecture, partner teams, and developer advocacy

- Define and track success metrics for hybrid adoption, partner ecosystem growth, and customer outcomes

- Write narratives (PR/FAQs, strategy docs, business reviews) to drive alignment and secure investment from leadership

- Represent EKS hybrid products externally at customer meetings, industry events, and partner forums

- Coordinate across AWS container services (ECS, ECR, Fargate) and adjacent teams (Outposts, Local Zones, networking) to deliver integrated hybrid experiences

- Monitor competitive landscape and translate competitive intelligence into product differentiation

A day in the life
You start your week talking to customers who run production workloads on Kubernetes. You dig into what's working and what's not, then turn that into product requirements. You whiteboard with engineering and UX to iterate on solutions. You define the long-term roadmap, present strategy to leadership, and track business metrics to spot opportunities. Some days you're reviewing cross-team documents or mentoring peers. Other days you're on stage at a conference. You own the product end to end.

About the team
The EKS team builds the managed Kubernetes service used by thousands of customers, from startups to the world's largest enterprises. We help customers run containerized applications reliably at any scale. You'll work with product managers, engineers, and designers who ship fast and talk to customers constantly. We value ownership, clear writing, and learning from each other. We support flexible work arrangements that balance team needs with your life outside of work.
