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.

Our mission is to support Amazonians at every stage of their journey - from the time they apply, throughout their career, and after they have left Amazon. With A to Z, we serve a vast and growing user base giving you the opportunity to impact millions of customers. We tackle complex challenges as we navigate the full employee lifecycle, from onboarding to career development, employee retention, as well as gracefully handling resignation and providing ongoing access and support for Alumni/past employees.

A to Z is an area that is growing fast. We have an ambitious roadmap ahead for 2025 (and beyond) where we will deliver brand new functionality to enhance the user experience further, as well as expanding to new countries/regions - building on the growing momentum/impact that A to Z has created.

Choose to join us and you will own the design of major features from end-to-end in our mobile app 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?
