Lead product strategy for Amazon Photos' AI and media intelligence as the sole Product Manager embedded in Bangalore, defining vision and roadmap for ML-powered capabilities such as face clustering, pet detection and clustering, and video semantic understanding. Own cross-functional execution, aligning with US-based product leadership across time zones and partnering with engineering and applied science teams to translate ML into delightful customer experiences. Drive metrics, analyze data, and iterate to improve accuracy, performance, and customer satisfaction, while ensuring AI capabilities integrate seamlessly with Alexa, Echo Show, and Fire TV. Mentor engineers on product thinking, cultivate customer obsession, and pursue high-priority AI/ML opportunities as the landscape evolves.
We are hiring a Principal Product Manager Technical to lead product strategy for Amazon Photos' AI and media intelligence capabilities. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role: you will be the sole Product Manager embedded within our Bangalore engineering organization, driving vision and roadmap for our most strategic technology investments. You will operate with significant independence while partnering closely with US-based product leadership to ensure alignment with Amazon Photos' global strategy. As the only PM in Bangalore, you will also steward product culture—mentoring engineers on product thinking and fostering customer obsession. This role offers significant growth potential.
You will own product strategy for three critical areas: advancing face clustering to help customers organize photos of the people who matter most; launching pet detection and clustering to extend these features to the pets in customers' families; and pioneering semantic understanding for video to unlock new ways to search and rediscover memories. Beyond these, you will pursue high-priority opportunities as the AI/ML landscape evolves.
We're looking for an entrepreneurial leader who thrives in ambiguity, brings clarity to complex technical initiatives, and earns trust as a genuine partner to engineering and science teams. The right candidate has a passion for photos and video, understands the emotional weight of personal memories, and is motivated by helping customers preserve and rediscover the moments that matter most.
Key job responsibilities
• Define and drive product vision, strategy, and roadmap for AI-powered media intelligence including face clustering, pet detection and clustering, and video semantic understanding
• Serve as product leader for the Bangalore engineering organization, providing strategic direction, prioritization, and day-to-day decision-making
• Operate with high ownership while collaborating closely with US-based product leadership across time zones
• Partner with engineering and applied science teams to translate ML and computer vision capabilities into delightful customer experiences
• Define success metrics, analyze data, and iterate to improve accuracy, performance, and customer satisfaction
• Collaborate with Amazon Photos, Alexa, Echo Show, and Fire TV teams to ensure AI capabilities integrate seamlessly across Amazon's ecosystem
• Identify and pursue opportunities that advance Amazon Photos' mission
• Represent the Bangalore organization's capabilities and roadmap to senior leadership
A day in the life
Your day starts with a US product leadership sync before collaborating with Bangalore engineering & applied science partners. You might analyze face clustering accuracy, debate whether we can distinguish a customer's golden retriever from their neighbor's, or write requirements for video semantic search. You end the day knowing your features will help a parent find every photo of their child's first year, or someone rediscover a video of a pet they miss. No two days look the same. The AI is pioneering, the problems are complex, and the impact is real. Every day you're helping millions keep cherished memories alive.
