Software Development Engineer - Tax and Account Compliance Tech

Description

We are the guardians of the Amazon galaxy.

Our diverse team innovates on behalf of their customers to build a trusted marketplace through best-in-class compliance products. With hundreds of millions of customers around the world depending on our products & services, our systems form the tip of the spear against bad actors. These actors might abuse Amazon products and undermine customer faith, so our success comes from identifying & removing them while delivering best-in-class customer experiences for the good actors and strategic customers. We’re creating the most trusted store on earth, enabling Amazon to innovate at scale, and supporting our customers to launch & grow their business faster than anywhere else in the world.

Key job responsibilities
As a Software Development Engineer in the tax account compliance team, you will design and build software that 1) is extensible to different use cases, products, and geographies with almost zero incremental tech effort, 2) can trigger verifications that are necessary under applicable policies, 3) can store verification decisions for re-use to reduce duplicative checks; and (5) is vendible to any authorized user via API. The software is smarter than the smartest bad actors in the world to protect the store from illegal activities at scale. Amazon's scale means that you'll be designing and developing custom distributed systems more advanced than those used in standard industry practices. These data-centric systems need to detect patterns across Amazon's huge customer population as they happen and be adaptive so that they can detect new modus operandi as they develop. Lastly, they need to be highly available, low latency, high quality systems. If this sounds interesting to you, then apply and find out more!
