Amazon People eXperience and Technology (PXT) seeks a software engineer who excels in turning big ideas into practical solutions. In PXT, we use modern technologies to solve complex problems at scale. Through A to Z, we deliver an engaging, intuitive, personalized experience that empowers our users to quickly take control of their work life 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.
The A to Z Manager Experiences team owns surfacing manager experiences and journeys to Amazonians from a single unified platform through federated development. As part of the team, you will focus on the technical design, development, delivery and operational excellence of this area. You will also work on the long term strategy of onboarding new journeys into the system.
Choose to join us and you will own the design of major features from end-to-end in web apps to dependent services and persistent storage. Can you work with engineers from many backgrounds to translate designs into quality software that is highly scalable, available, low latency, high performing... and reflects the best combination of the ideas in the room? If so, let's talk! Be ready to interact directly with the people who use your software, hear their feedback and use it to make your system even better!
We are not tied to one technology – instead, we use what is best suited for the purpose. If you have a track record of shipping multiple high scale solutions and are comfortable diving into ambiguous problem spaces in order to build high-quality production code that helps people, we'd love to talk.
We are reinventing how Amazonians manage their work life, and beyond. Are you ready to take on the biggest opportunity you ever had fun solving?
