Sr Software Developer Amazon
Cambridge, MA

Job Description

Are you a passionate, results-oriented, experienced 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, we'd love to talk with you.

Come join us in our journey to deliver solutions for one of the most complex domains in People Technology. We own and deliver technology to compute employee pay, globally, for all of our current and emerging businesses. At core, we are in the business of analytics - real-time and batch-driven - over data collected from IoT devices, usually time clocks. We own our own high-availability authoritative services to support this processing, and require the ability to work from authoritative, replay-able, auditable "truth" for any point in an employee's timeline, since the HR landscape is littered with post-dated and pre-dated changes. Our business rules are complex and arcane, varying by role, business, and jurisdiction. We are solving all of these problems at Amazon scale, an order of magnitude larger than supported by any commodity solutions and growing exponentially.

Successful candidates will be strong in computer science fundamentals. communicate clearly and have a consistent track record of delivery. The People Tech business requires creative engineering balanced with high quality and customer focus.

* Expects and requires innovation of her/his team
