Job Description

Amazon People Technology seeks a software engineer who excels in turning big ideas into practical solutions. In People Technology, we use modern technologies to solve complex problems at scale. We deliver an engaging, intuitive, personalized experience that empowers employees to quickly take control of their worklife anytime, anywhere. As our solutions simplify and automate tedious manual tasks, more people can focus on meaningful work. We make life better for hundreds of thousands of fellow Amazonians.

You like solving hard problems because the big challenges make you feel alive. You seek out greenfield opportunities to design systems that function smoothly at scale, are adaptable to the changing needs of our employees, and solve hard problems with surprisingly simple designs. In short, each design is an opportunity for your high standards to shine.

If you have already designed products that scale to meet demand, combine the best of internal and external services, and grow to meet the complex needs of your customers, you will fit right in. We are technical experts, but we go further.

If you want unsolved problems that will challenge you beyond your technical abilities, Amazon People Technology is the place for you.

Choose to join us and you will own the design of major features from end-to-end, from Web UI and mobile app to dependent services and persistent storage. The feedback you get from tenured engineers will stretch you to think differently about the problem and the solution in new ways. You know that your technical leadership and influence scales with the quality and quantity of thought-provoking feedback you provide to more junior engineers. When they reach out to you for help with their toughest problems, you will realize just how much you have grown in your career. Can you work with engineers from many backgrounds to translate designs into quality software that is highly scalable, available, low latency, and high performing... and reflects the best combination of the ideas in the room? If you can, your design will get into production... so get ready to interact directly with the people who use your software, hear their feedback and use it to make your system even better!

The PeopleTech Hub team team is reinventing how Amazonians manage their worklife. Are you ready to take on the biggest challenge you ever had fun solving?
