Our mission is to create a workplace that empowers Amazonians to innovate on behalf of our customers. We are at a strategic inflection point, as Amazon has outgrown the third-party HR systems that we once relied upon. We are developing highly reliable builder tools (powered by AWS) that make it possible for builders to create solutions that meet Amazon's high bar, while exceeding the speed of delivery that was only possible by way of third-party tools.
As a Senior SDE on our team, your primary responsibility will be to design, build and deliver software that enables other builders to deliver integrated solutions for customers of HR. You will have the opportunity to work closely with customers, test prototypes, and incorporate their feedback into our solutions.
If you’re thrilled by the idea of ownership, passionate about creating new features and services from scratch, and comfortable with the pace of shipping software in cycles measured in weeks, we would love to connect with you.
