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 Security Program Manager
Align your credentials to U.S. specialty occupation standards
Your Australian bachelor's degree must map to the specific field of the Security Program Manager role, not just a general IT background. Get a credential evaluation that confirms your qualification meets U.S. equivalency before starting applications.
Target employers with active federal security contracts
Defense contractors, federal IT services firms, and government-adjacent consultancies routinely sponsor E-3 visa holders because their security program roles require specialized credentials the domestic talent pool doesn't always supply. These employers already understand visa compliance obligations.
Frame your clearance eligibility clearly in your application
Many Security Program Manager postings list U.S. security clearance as a requirement. As an Australian national, you're eligible for some clearance levels under the AUSUSA alliance. Stating this upfront removes a common objection before the interview stage.
Search for E-3 sponsorship roles using Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Security Program Manager openings by employers with E-3 sponsorship history. This surfaces roles where the hiring team already understands the visa process, cutting out employers who'll stall on an unfamiliar sponsorship pathway.
Confirm the LCA wage level matches your offered role
The DOL-certified LCA must list a prevailing wage at or above the wage level for your specific job duties and location. If an offer underpays relative to the DOL wage determination, the LCA will fail certification and delay your start date.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork
Once you have a signed offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the LCA submission to DOL, prepares your DS-160 and supporting documents, and gets you ready for your consulate appointment in Australia without back-and-forth between you and your employer's HR team.
E-3 Visa Security Program Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Security Program Manager jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to search for Security Program Manager roles where employers are already open to E-3 sponsorship. Standard job boards don't filter by visa type, which means you spend time on roles where sponsorship isn't available. Migrate Mate surfaces positions matched to E-3 eligibility, so your search is targeted from the start.
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 Security Program Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes. Security Program Manager positions typically require a bachelor's degree or higher in information security, computer science, cybersecurity, or a closely related field, which meets the USCIS specialty occupation definition. The key is that the job posting and your offered duties must require that specific degree, not just prefer it. Generic program management roles without a security specialization may face more scrutiny.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Security Program Manager roles?
The E-3 is available exclusively to Australian nationals and has no lottery, so there's no random selection process standing between you and a start date. The H-1B visa requires winning an annual lottery with a selection rate well below 50%. For a Security Program Manager with a qualifying offer, the E-3 moves on the employer's timeline, not a lottery calendar, and renews indefinitely in two-year increments.
Can I transfer my E-3 visa if I change Security Program Manager employers?
You can change employers on E-3 status, but it's not a simple internal transfer. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need to apply for a new E-3 visa stamp at an Australian consulate before re-entering the U.S. in the new role. There's no portability rule like the one that exists for H-1B holders, so timing your transition matters.
