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 services to support this processing, and require the ability to work from 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. We are looking for a Software Development Engineer II who is a strong, independent builder with growing design maturity. You take ownership of significant features and components, drive them from design through production, and operate them with high standards. You write high-quality code, make sound technical decisions with appropriate trade-offs, and proactively improve the systems you touch. You are developing your ability to influence design direction, mentor junior engineers, and think beyond your immediate deliverables to the health of the broader system. Key job responsibilities * Own the design and delivery of significant features and components across scalable, multi-tiered applications and services. Drive projects from requirements through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production operation. * Write high-quality, well-tested production code using modern languages, design patterns, and frameworks. Hold yourself and your peers to high standards through thorough code reviews. * Make sound technical decisions wi
