DESCRIPTION

Collecting taxes was simpler when Amazon first started in 1994 – our tax-collection technology was limited to a single line of code. Today, due to the growth of Amazon’s business and the evolving requirements around sales tax collection, a number of sophisticated services are in place to manage merchant tax data, create audit records and reports, and collect sales taxes for each geography we do business in and for all product classifications present in our catalog.

The Tax Systems team builds and manages the technology behind these services, ensuring that Amazon meets its legal requirements, manages data impacting sales tax collection, creates audit records, applies relevant sales tax to shoppers’ orders and minimizes confusion for customers.

As a Technical Program Manager, you will work on one of the world's largest transactional distributed systems, building highly scalable and reliable systems that stay on top of the complex and ever-changing global tax rates and laws.

You will collaborate effectively with a technical team and be responsible for key aspects of the software customer experience. In this role you, will lead the definition of new features as well as important optimizations to the service. The role is inherently cross-functional: you will work closely with a high-energy team of software engineers, program managers, user experience designers, marketers, customer service leads as well as internal & external product stakeholders across the company.
