Job description

Software Development Engineer, Amazon Time & Pay Innovation, Amazon

Amazon Time & Pay Innovation (T&PA) organisation is looking for Software Development Engineers who enjoy working in a green field environment building large-scale intelligent products and services that offer a consumer grade user experience using a service oriented architecture, based on native AWS components.

T&PA mission is to build world-class time systems that are intuitive and friction-free for all users, enable management of time and pay with close to zero defects, are available on-demand as new businesses launch, and flexibly support future business innovation. T&PA serves all Amazon employees across more than 25 countries and a dozen lines of business. We are tackling new, hard problems that Amazon has not solved at scale, creating fundamentally improved ways for employees to record time and reduce pay defects. T&PA has it all - early stage hustle, operational excellence, technical complexity and global scope across multiple Amazon businesses.

Key job responsibilities
We are looking for a strong Software Development Engineer who can take the lead in identifying and solving ambiguous problems. You will own and heavily influence the architecture and design, and will write a significant portion of the “critical-path” code. You will solve problems at Amazon scale, an order of magnitude larger than supported by any commodity solutions and growing exponentially. You will use highly scalable AWS technologies such as Lambda, EMR, DynamoDB, S3, Kinesis, ECS and many others to do this.

Successful candidates will be strong leaders who can prioritize well, communicate clearly, and have a consistent track record of delivering large scale solutions. You will contribute to all aspects of an agile software development lifecycle including design, architecture, development, documentation, testing and operations. You will push your design and architecture by owning all aspects of solutions end-to-end, through full stack software development.

A day in the life
The day-to-day activities of a Software Development Engineer will include:

Designing, implementing, and testing software solutions using native AWS technologies
Collaborating with product managers and customers to manage requirements for new features and updates to existing systems
Partnering with internal Customers to translate complex business logic into reusable and scalable code
Periodically providing on-call support
Coaching and mentoring junior engineers on the team
Working with some of the most talented and dedicated team members you can find
Having fun

- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- 3+ years of Video Games Industry (supporting title Development, Release, or Live Ops) experience
- Experience programming with at least one software programming language
