Come join us in our journey to deliver solutions for one of the most complex domains in People eXperience Technology (PXT).

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.

About the team
TAA supports 1.8MM associates and 100K managers across 13 business lines in 21 countries using Amazon's homegrown timekeeping system, Amazon Time Plus (AT+), and seven third party (3P) systems, with MyTime (MT) being the largest 3P by population. Scheduling is one of the core pillars of TAA and acts as a bridge between labor planning processes and pay generation. The labor planning process is used by Operations to effectively plan employee schedules and labor. Shift planning not only determines which schedules the site will need, but also the individual workgroups and/or employees needed to meet that demand. Time and Attendance (TAA) track the actual associate work against these schedules to detect worked hour compliance violation and calculate pay.
