Our mission is to make it easy for employees and their family to discover and use the benefits that apply to them. Today's traditional benefit experiences rely heavily on content, explanations, and instructions for people to understand what's available to them and how to use it. We are bringing personalized and friction-free benefits to the tip of the fingers of over five million people (our employees and their dependents). Amazon Benefits help them live richer and fuller lives, be it by helping them in a moment of medical need, saving for retirement, or helping them with a vacation. We are building a delightful mobile and web experience integrated with internal and external systems, so employees don't have to go through hoops to get what they want. No employer has ever done this level of experience or personalization before and we are breaking new ground.

The L6 Senior Software Development Engineer will serve as the technical architect for the My Family initiative, a critical platform that will become the single source of truth for Amazon"s 1.1M employee families across three countries.

Key job responsibilities

  • Serve as technical architect for the My Family initiative.
  • Requires decomposing a complex, multi-domain system involving benefits management, identity federation, international compliance, and scalable architecture that must integrate seamlessly with Personal Information Domain, Benefits Technology, AtoZ, and Unified Identity teams.
  • Mentor our current team members while making high-stakes technical decisions that balance immediate delivery needs against long-term platform extensibility, ensuring the architecture can support future expansion to immigration, relocation, and leave management services.
  • Drive technical excellence across the full stack, from secure identity management for 426K partners and 708K children to building resilient APIs that can handle the scale and regulatory requirements of three different countries.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
