About the team

Timehub's data feeds are foundational to Amazon's operational infrastructure, with downstream consumers including labor planning, productivity tracking, payroll processing, and finance reporting. To support rapid global expansion and new and evolving businesses like AWS, Leo, and Prime Air, the architecture is evolved into a complex multi-stack environment. Any disruption to TimeHub directly impacts employee satisfaction, operational continuity, and payroll accuracy, making it foundational for Amazon's global workforce operations. Timekeeping at Amazon sits at the intersection of pay accuracy, regulatory compliance, labor relations, and operational continuity. When overtime calculations are misconfigured, holiday pay rules are misapplied, shift premiums are missed, or meal compliance tracking breaks down, the result is pay defects that require intensive retroactive corrections, audits, and reporting. These defects also consume HR and payroll resources while exposing the company to labor complaints and government penalties. The complexity compounds with Amazon's global footprint and pace of expansion. Operating across 60+ countries requires deep expertise in jurisdiction-specific labor laws covering overtime thresholds, statutory holidays, on-call treatment, night shift rules, working time frameworks, and leave entitlements.

Basic Qualifications

• 10+ years of engineering experience


• 5+ years of engineering team management experience


• 10+ years of planning, designing, developing and delivering consumer software experience


• Experience partnering with product or program management teams


• Experience managing multiple concurrent programs, projects and development teams in an Agile environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience partnering with product and program management teams


• Experience designing and developing large scale, high-traffic applications
