Whether you're passionate about building highly scalable and reliable systems or a software developer who likes to solve business problems, Amazon Tax Engine is the place for you.



We are responsible for the tax classification, calculation and storage, providing the core services that calculate taxes and regulatory fees for all Amazon sales, physical and digital, globally. We thrive on providing the correct tax amounts to the customer at order time, and make sure audit records are stored safely to meet tax law requirements around the globe. Our challenges include staying on top of the complex and ever-changing global tax rates and laws as well as computing calculations correctly and quickly, thousands of times a second, and each one needs to be right.

Our systems manage hundreds of millions of records, and respond to millions of service requests per minute. Do you think you are up to the challenge?

They need to really enjoy working closely with their peers in a group of very smart and talented engineers.
