Would you like to work with one of the most complex employee systems in the world? Amazon Compensation Technology Team is seeking an innovative and highly motivated Software Development Engineer to join our growing organization.

We are building new software products and large scale distributed systems which will manage the compensation experience for Amazon’s rapidly growing workforce.

We are empowered to think big at Amazon, and the Amazon Compensation Technology Team is doing just that. Where third-party products don’t scale to meet our needs, we build our own products which provide the scalability and flexibility we need.

We take full advantage of the amazing technology toolset we have. We use AWS technologies such as Lambda, Dynamo DB, SQS, SNS, SWS, Redshift, S3, and many others to build highly scalable solutions.

We directly shape the future growth of Amazon and the impact of our work can be seen all around us.

Do you find re-defining and building new platforms from the ground up exciting? Do you like working with new technologies, finding new solutions to complex problems?

Do you like working with all stages of product development from working with customers on business requirements to deploying and supporting your own software?

We are looking for a strong Software Development Engineer who can take the lead in identifying and solving ambiguous problems.

You will own and heavily influence the architecture and design, and will write a significant portion of the critical-path code.

You will influence the team’s technical and business strategy by making insightful contributions to team priorities and approach.

Successful candidates will be strong leaders who can prioritize well, communicate clearly, and have a consistent track record of delivering large scale solutions.

You will contribute to all aspects of an agile software development lifecycle including design, architecture, development, documentation, testing and operations.

You will push your design and architecture by owning all aspects of solutions end-to-end, through full stack software development.

A day in the life

We build web applications for managers, HRBPs, internal compensation domain experts and stakeholders to better server Amazonians.

We work with the internal stakeholders directly or through product team.

We support range building process and data management through the products we built. Oncall load is light for half time in a year.
