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.

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.
