Now hiring in sunny Barcelona! Amazon employs more than 1.6 million people worldwide, up 24% year-over-year. In all of history, no company this big has ever grown this fast. There are other large employers, some even bigger. There are other fast-growing companies, some even faster. As the engineering org responsible for building systems that help ensure all Amazonians are paid on time and accurately, we are asked to solve for challenges that no other company faces.

Also, we're Amazonian. Our customers in Payroll expect us to innovate for them. We're building a greenfield near real-time payroll platform — replacing decades of legacy infrastructure to process pay end-to-end for over a million employees across 60+ countries. This spans multiple organizations within Amazon integrating into a single canonical architecture, with engineering teams across multiple geographies. Name another company doing this at this scale. We really are having fun and making history in an area that — let's face it — is probably pretty boring at other companies.

Your job will be to lead a world-class software development team in Barcelona — driving the design and delivery of core platform components from architecture through production, and developing the team that ships them.

You will:
- Build and lead a team of software developers.
- Lead teams to build and support software with the highest standards.
- Support career growth for your team members.
- Understand our customers and build a vision to solve their known and unknown problems.
