Software Dev Engineer II, Time & Pay Innovation

Amazon is one of the largest employers on the planet with hundreds of thousands of employees across the globe. Come join us in our journey to deliver solutions for one of the most complex domains in People eXperience Technology (PXT). We own and deliver technology to manage employee time expectations and compute their pay, globally, for all our current and emerging businesses. At the core, we are in the business of analytics - real-time and event-driven - of data collected from IoT devices (time clocks) and web user interfaces. We own our own high-availability authoritative services to support this processing, and require the ability to work from authoritative, replay-able, auditable "truth" for any point in an employee's timeline. Our business rules are complex and arcane, varying by role, business, and jurisdiction. We are solving all these problems at Amazon scale, an order of magnitude larger than supported by any commodity solutions and growing exponentially.

You should be a passionate, results-oriented, experienced software developer. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, have a relentless focus on the customer experience and want to build something new rather than just maintain someone else’s code, then this role is for you.

About the team
Time and Attendance (TAA) supports 1.8MM associates and 100K managers across 13 business lines in 21 countries using Amazon’s homegrown timekeeping system, Amazon Time Plus (AT+), and seven third party (3P) systems, with MyTime (MT) being the largest 3P by population. Scheduling is one of the core pillars of TAA and acts as a bridge between labor planning processes and pay generation. The labor planning process is used by Operations to effectively plan employee schedules and labor. Shift planning not only determines which schedules the site will need, but also the individual workgroups and/or employees needed to meet that demand. Time and Attendance (TAA) track the actual associate work against these schedules to detect worked hour compliance violation and calculate pay.
