Sr. Software Dev Engineer, Benefits eXperience Technology (BXT)

Our mission is to make it easy for employees and their family to discover and use the benefits that apply to them. Today’s traditional benefit experiences rely heavily on content, explanations, and instructions for people to understand what’s available to them and how to use it.

We are bringing personalized and friction-free benefits to the tip of the fingers of over five million people (our employees and their dependents).

Amazon Benefits help them live richer and fuller lives, be it by helping them in a moment of medical need, saving for retirement, or helping them with a vacation.

We are building a delightful mobile and web experience integrated with internal and external systems, so employees don’t have to go through hoops to get what they want.

No employer has ever done this level of experience or personalization before and we are breaking new ground.

The Enrollment Unit is responsible for services that are delivering an Enrollment experience on AtoZ to our customers and the underlying integration with vendors to provision elections.

For the US, it'll deliver improvements to the Enrollment experience for New Hires, Qualified Life Events (QLE), and Open Enrollment.

Among the improvements, we'll deliver better choice architecture (nudge) mechanisms, short videos, choice tools (calculators / simulators), etc.

For an additional 16 countries, we'll launch the full Enrollment Experience allowing us to deprecate 3P vendors, including the data migration, and diff tools to measure accuracy of our services.

It's also responsible for the Enrollment Services (Election Service, Window Service, etc.), Vendor Integration, Vendor Reconciliation, Life Events (Experience & Service), and Dependents & Beneficiaries (Experience & Service).

This team will also work closely with the Foundation and the Discovery & Experience team to deliver the Currency-based Benefit Store for OE 2025 in the US.
