Amazon is hiring thousands of workers every week across 60+ countries. The Work Authorization team ensures that all employees hired (into all lines of business, globally) are legally authorized to work and remain authorized to work throughout their employment. We are building a system to streamline the work authorization determination process by eliminating manual interventions (where legally permissible) without compromising compliance. This solution will include building dedicated web applications to satisfy legal requirements specific to each country or region

Key job responsibilities
As a SDE III on the team, you will own implementation of a new, large, complex software application with high impact to Amazon. You own the design, build, and maintenance of the new experience for personal and HR data collection, automating the onboarding of new hires, and unifying this experience with another product the team currently owns, allowing Amazonians to manage all aspects of their personal information.

A successful SDE III will have a broad array of experiences, exceptional design skills, strong technical judgement, an excellent ability to solve problems, good communication skills and a team leader. The software you own and build will impact millions of Amazonians globally, and will require a breadth of front-end and back-end technical development knowledge. Daily work will involve interacting with engineers, product managers, stakeholders, and managers.

We are seeking experienced senior engineers with strong ownership. Amazon's business success depends on your ability to innovate and enable Amazon's workforce onboarding speed and success. 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.
