Software Development Engineer, Amazon Time & Pay Innovation

Amazon Time & Pay Innovation (T&PA) is seeking Software Development Engineers to build world-class time systems that serve Amazon employees across 25+ countries. The role involves working in a greenfield environment, building large-scale intelligent products and services that deliver consumer-grade user experience using AWS-native architecture. T&PA's mission is to create intuitive, friction-free time systems that enable precise time and pay management with near-zero defects. The team tackles complex problems at Amazon's massive scale, working on solutions that are exponentially larger than typical commodity offerings.

As a Software Development Engineer, you'll lead in identifying and solving ambiguous problems, own architecture and design decisions, and write critical-path code. You'll work with cutting-edge AWS technologies including Lambda, EMR, DynamoDB, S3, Kinesis, and ECS. The role requires strong leadership skills, clear communication, and a proven track record of delivering large-scale solutions.

The position offers the unique combination of early-stage innovation, operational excellence, technical complexity, and global impact across multiple Amazon businesses. You'll collaborate with talented team members, participate in full-stack development, and have the opportunity to shape the future of time and pay systems at Amazon. The role balances technical leadership with hands-on development, making it ideal for engineers who enjoy both architectural challenges and practical implementation.
