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.
