Software Development Engineer Amazon
Seattle, WA

Job Description

People Technology is looking for a passionate Software Development Engineer to help us build the interface used by our associates across the globe. This is the front facing portal of People Technologies across the company which serves associate and manager based functionality allowing them to facilitate expectation of work, evidence of work - and everything else in between. Our business rules are complex and arcane, varying by role, business, and jurisdiction. In tight collaboration with our UX designers, we are solving all of these problems at Amazon scale - an order of magnitude larger than supported by any commodity solutions and growing exponentially.

This is a terrific opportunity for someone who wants to have large-scale impact on the way employees interact with one another. We're innovating one of the most complex employee systems in the world - ensuring that our employees have a secure, responsive and user-friendly way of connecting to Amazon and one another. We need big thinkers and pioneers: technologists who are ready to innovate in this space. We hope you'll join us.

You should be a passionate, results-oriented, software developer. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, have a relentless focus on the customer experience and want to build something new rather than just maintain someone else's code, then this role is for you.

Successful candidates will be strong leaders who can prioritize well, communicate clearly, deliver on commitments. The People Tech business requires creative engineering balanced with high quality and customer focus.

Professional traits that are not unique to this position, but necessary for Amazon leaders:

* Exhibits excellent judgment
* Hires and develops great people
* Has relentlessly high standards (is never satisfied with the status quo)
* Is able to dive deep and is never out of touch with the details of the business or the technology
* Expects and requires innovation of her/his team
* Has passion and convictions and the innate ability to inspire passion in others
* Strong results orientation
* Thinks big
