Amazon is one of the largest employers on the planet with hundreds of thousands of employees across the globe. Our People Experience and Technology (PXT) organization is seeking a Software Development Engineer for a talented engineering team focused on innovation. PXT’s mission is to build a workplace for Amazonians to invent and deliver on behalf of our customers.
