Software Development Manager, Time & Pay Innovation

Lead the team that ensures Amazon associates get paid accurately — every single day. As a Software Development Manager in TAA, you lead the talented SDEs, tech strategy, and delivery for one of Amazon's most critical real-time platforms: a high-throughput, event-driven architecture processing millions of punch events globally. 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. We are looking for a Software Development Manager who combines strong technical depth with proven people leadership. You will own the roadmap, delivery, and operational health of critical systems while building a team of engineers who thrive in ambiguity and deliver at the highest bar. You set the technical direction in partnership with your senior engineers, remove blockers, make resourcing trade-offs, and create an environment where engineers do the best work of their careers. You are equally comfortable in a design review debating architecture trade-offs and in a 1:1 coaching an engineer through a growth challenge. Key job responsibilities
