DESCRIPTION
At Amazon, data is critical to everything we do, from understanding product inventories across our global fulfillment centers to predicting what products to recommend to customers. Data ceaselessly informs our flywheel, helping us to understand customer needs, onboard new sellers and selection, and identify opportunities for cost savings. Business Data Technologies (BDT) provides trustworthy, intuitive, and cost-efficient solutions for Amazonians to secure, store, analyze, and transform this data at unparalleled scale. BDT owns, develops, and operates Andes, one of the largest data lakes in the world, storing 3+ exabytes of data, read/written to by 100k+ data pipelines, with >60k monthly active users. To do this, we need extraordinary individuals to build the next generation of data analytics, machine learning, and AI solutions for thousands of scientists, engineers, and analysts who rely upon us to get their jobs done.
The BDT-AI4ME organization works to bring AI-centric methodologies and automations to Amazon organizations needing to connect their business teams and objectives with their data teams and architectures. The BDT-AI4ME organization seeks to lower the cognitive load needed to connect business to data through best of class agents and AI-ready metadata to allow anyone to access data to gain insights.
As a Principal Technical Program Manager in the BDT-AI4ME organization, you understand ways that enterprises apply AI to solve business and technical problems. You understand the ways that Amazon’s business teams work with their data teams, and you seek to reduce friction and error-proneness of those interactions using AI. You drive lightweight mechanisms that bring visibility to leadership, share best practices, and provide better communication and collaboration across teams. This role works closely with Tech Directors, VPs and Principal Engineers to identify patterns, new trends, goals and areas for cross-org collaboration. This role does not support just one organization but rather focuses on best practices that can be applicable to multiple organizations across Amazon.
Key job responsibilities
You focus on the needs of business users as they navigate data from question to insight. You formulate goals and plans for transforming the ways Amazon extracts value from its data through iterative improvements involving AI enablement, process optimization, role guidelines, and org design.
As part of a broader team, you collaborate with other technical program managers to ensure that work in your space aligns with work and plans of other teams across BDT and other organizations. You establish mechanisms for inspection and awareness of progress across cross cutting initiatives.
Data drives your “flywheel”. You analyze data to glean insights that drive experimentation. You leverage data such as service telemetry, user feedback, and industry trends to surface opportunities for improvement. You take what’s proven and partner with Amazon organizations to apply and scale it. You define, implement, and monitor metrics that track your progress.
You partner with Amazon’s business orgs to test hypotheses and deploy AI-based solutions to reduce friction and risk of errors in the ways that businesses use data.
You give feedback on narratives, contribute to strategy (e.g., OP1 planning), set goals, discuss weekly business metrics, and more.
You partner with Amazon’s PXT organization to evolve and optimize roles guidelines and org design best practices to align with the way businesses are evolving their practices around getting insights from their data.
You partner with engineering, human resources, legal, documentation, solution architecture, privacy, finance, and more to optimize usage of the Andes data lake for AI-based methodologies.
As an owner, you hold yourself and partners accountable for the highest quality user outcomes.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Process Engineering Manager
Translate your Australian engineering credentials first
Before applying, confirm your Australian bachelor's degree maps to a U.S. specialty occupation. A three-year Australian engineering degree is generally accepted, but have your academic transcripts ready to support the LCA and visa application.
Target manufacturers with active DOL LCA filings
Search the DOL's Foreign Labor Application Gateway for employers who have previously filed LCAs for Process Engineering Manager roles. Companies with LCA history already understand prevailing wage obligations and are far more likely to move quickly on E-3 visa sponsorship.
Find E-3 sponsoring employers through Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Process Engineering Manager openings by employers with E-3 sponsorship history. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork once you have an offer confirmed.
Clarify the LCA wage level during offer negotiations
Your employer must certify a prevailing wage with the DOL before your E-3 application proceeds. Ask the hiring team which wage level they're filing at early, since a Level I filing on a manager-grade role can trigger a DOL audit and delay your start date.
Prepare a specialty occupation letter for complex roles
Process Engineering Manager positions that blend operations and management functions sometimes face USCIS scrutiny over whether the role truly requires a bachelor's degree. A detailed job duty letter from your employer, tied explicitly to your engineering degree, strengthens the application.
Plan your consulate appointment around plant shutdown schedules
If your role involves overseeing production facilities, coordinate your E-3 consulate appointment in Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth around planned maintenance shutdowns so your start date isn't disrupted by U.S. consulate appointment wait times.
E-3 Visa Process Engineering Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Process Engineering Manager jobs with E-3 sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search Process Engineering Manager openings filtered specifically for E-3 visa sponsorship, so you're not wasting time on employers who only know H-1B. Chemical, petrochemical, food manufacturing, and semiconductor companies are among the most active sponsors for this role type in the U.S.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Process Engineering Manager role qualify as an E-3 specialty occupation?
Yes. The role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering discipline, which satisfies the E-3 specialty occupation definition. The key is that your employer's job description must tie the degree requirement to the role's core duties. Generic management duties without a clear engineering scope can invite additional USCIS scrutiny.
How does the E-3 compare to H-1B for Process Engineering Manager positions?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, so there's no April registration window or waiting year to start work. An H-1B for the same role goes into a randomised lottery with roughly a one-in-four selection chance. The E-3 also allows unlimited two-year renewals, while H-1B requires active PERM or I-140 progression to extend beyond six years.
Can I change employers while on an E-3 as a Process Engineering Manager?
Yes, but you need a fresh LCA and a new E-3 visa tied to the new employer before you start work. Unlike H-1B portability, there's no grace period that allows you to begin with the new company while the application is pending. Coordinate the transition carefully to avoid a gap in authorised employment status.
