COMPLETE Software Development Engineer, Finance Technology - Amsterdam

Job Description

To serve its customers globally, Amazon operates businesses and technology platforms that handle some of the largest transaction volumes of any company on earth. The Finance Technology (FinTech) organization works with every part of Amazon to capture, compute, transact, and report their financial events. When a customer orders a banana slicer on Amazon.com in France, watches an episode of Mr. Robot on Prime Instant Video in the US, downloads an e-book on their Kindle from a beach in Brazil, or spins up a spot EC2 instance on AWS in China, they feed into a continuous petabyte-scale stream of global events moving through the company’s technology ecosystem. We harness these data streams to pay Amazon’s suppliers, bill our customers, enable financial analysis and planning, and to report our financial results at many different levels of aggregation to internal and external customers.

The FinTech team operates software platforms that are among the largest in the world by volume and complexity. We interact upstream with all of Amazon’s businesses globally and the majority of our projects are cross-functional. We partner integrally with the CFO organization worldwide, including the central finance functions and line of business leadership.

This team will build a highly modular and scalable tax platform to help manage entire tax reporting pipeline for Amazon across geographies. The goal is to eliminate thousands of hours of manual work for Tax and Finance users across Amazon, and bring in process standardization in tax filing process.

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to help us redefine the state of Tax Reporting at Amazon. You will design and build this large-scale data ingestion, computation and reporting platform from scratch. You will work across Amazon engineering and business teams, in planning, designing, executing and implementing this new global platform. We’re looking for thought leaders who will drive architectural and design choices, invent new features, develop distributed services, and build a scalable, service-oriented platform for our customers.
