Sr. Software Development Engineer, FPDS
Amazon.com
Are you interested in working with the latest technology in the cloud computing space? The Amazon Foundational People Data Services (FPDS) organization is seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE) to join our team in building innovative cloud solutions that enable Amazon's builders to address the needs of our global workforce of nearly 3 million Amazonians.
Our mission is to create a workplace that empowers Amazonians to innovate on behalf of our customers. We are at a strategic inflection point, as Amazon has outgrown the third-party HR systems that we once relied upon. We are developing highly reliable builder tools (powered by AWS) that make it possible for builders to create solutions that meet Amazon's high bar, while exceeding the speed of delivery that was only possible by way of third-party tools.
As a Senior SDE on our team, your primary responsibility will be to design, build and deliver software that enables other builders to deliver integrated solutions for customers of HR. You will have the opportunity to work closely with customers, test prototypes, and incorporate their feedback into our solutions.
If you’re thrilled by the idea of ownership, passionate about creating new features and services from scratch, and comfortable with the pace of shipping software in cycles measured in weeks, we would love to connect with you.
Key job responsibilities
- Architect and build highly available software components in a distributed architecture
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams
- Define and drive software best practices, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, agile development, build processes, and testing
- Coach and mentor engineers on the team to foster a supportive culture of collaboration, scalability, and performance
A day in the life
You'll work on projects at the forefront of innovation, pushing boundaries and creating solutions that are shaping the future. You'll be surrounded by a team of talented individuals who are passionate about what they do. In this role, you'll have the unique ability to influence software architecture on a global scale. Your expertise and insights will have a direct impact on how our products are developed and implemented worldwide. You'll be working on projects that directly impact our customers and contribute to their success. And while you're making a difference, you'll also have continuous learning and professional growth opportunities.
About the team
Beginning in 2022, we built Foundational People Data Services, a secure, reliable, and fast way to store and consume worker data. We have helped builders across Amazon invent 7,800+ and growing experiences with our AWS-like, 1P data services which focus on the builder experience. We obsess over ensuring our data services are as foundational as electricity and water – always available, completely reliable, and convenient to use by builders. We’ve launched a secure and scalable people data store and event publishing bus; a people data catalog with federated ownership and compliance; role-based authorization and access controls to protect confidentiality; streamlined privacy reviews, depersonalization, and data subject access/deletion requests (DSARs/DSDRs); Tier-1 real-time data APIs for people data (PAPI); high-volume data transfer to the Andes data lake; and synthetic worker data to streamline testing.
We have seen rapid growth, with Amazon systems consuming 1 trillion employee records annually through billions of API calls to our 1P data services each week. We now have 5,000+ builder customer teams across AWS, Alexa, Payroll, Builder Tools, MyHR, A to Z, Clarity, GREF, Workplace Health & Safety, Time and Attendance, and more – over 75% of them are outside of People Experience & Technology (PXT). Our 1P data services offer real-time APIs and updates, powering vital end-user tools like Phone Tool (1,100+ page views per minute and 50M+ per month), Chime (800K+ calls per workday), Slack (350k+ employees and contingent workers using per workday), facilities badge access (95k+ salaried employees currently swipe in/out of their building each work day), LDAP, internal systems access, payroll, and more.
