Software Development Manager, Amazon Tax Services

Would you like to work on one of the world's largest transactional distributed systems?

How about working with customers and peers from the entire range of Amazon’s business on cool new features? Whether you’re passionate about building highly scalable and reliable systems or a software developer who likes to solve business problems, Tax Services is the place for you.

Tax Services are responsible for the tax calculation platform. We provide the core services that calculate the accurate amount of transactional taxes (sales tax and VAT) on Amazon. We thrive on providing the correct tax amounts to the customer at order time, and we make sure audit records are stored safely to meet tax law requirements around the globe.

We face challenges such as staying on top of the complex and ever‑changing global tax rates and laws, and computing calculations correctly and quickly thousands of times a second – each one must be right.

We are looking for an experienced, customer‑obsessed technical leader who can own a set of core products that enable validation of end‑to‑end tax workflow and ensure all changes are tested for regression as part of the foundational tax services layer.

The successful candidate is expected to be a technical manager who can deliver through leaders and who understands and sets a high bar for all parts of the software development and deployment life cycle, including design, development, documentation, testing, and operations. You must possess strong verbal and written communication skills, be self‑driven, and deliver high‑quality results in a fast‑paced environment. We’re looking for people who are smart and can get things done.
