Job Description

The Time and Pay Innovation team is chartered to build a world-class product that meets attendance and pay computation needs for millions of hourly associates across Amazon businesses. People Technology is the central hub for all Amazon people data. Our technology provides the foundation and orchestration for a multitude of key human resource processes — from onboarding tens of thousands of temporary employees during peak holiday season to integrating critical employee data with internal and external systems. We design and build highly secure, global software that allows Amazon to effectively manage the workforce, resulting in a better employee experience and a better bottom line.

We are looking for a Sr. Software Development Engineer to lead the design and development of Time and Pay systems at Amazon's scale and complexity. These systems reside on the critical path of Amazon operations.

This role is for a full-stack senior developer with an emphasis on designing highly scalable and extensible applications. You will design flexible and scalable solutions, and tackle some of the most complex challenges in computing by utilizing your skills in data structures, algorithms, and programming principles. Your responsibilities will span the full software development lifecycle — design, development, testing, deployment, and operations. You will also have access to Principal Engineers to collaborate on ideas and discuss technical solutions.

Key job responsibilities
* Design, develop, and operate large-scale distributed systems that process time, attendance, and pay data for millions of associates worldwide
* Own the end-to-end architecture and delivery of critical features, from ideation through production
* Drive technical excellence by establishing best practices, conducting design and code reviews, and raising the engineering bar
* Mentor and develop junior engineers, fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement
* Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, stakeholders, and partner teams to define technical roadmaps
* Identify and resolve ambiguous problems, making sound trade-off decisions in a fast-paced environment
