Direct Tax Technology provides an opportunity to innovate, design and build new platforms and services on AWS.
Amazon’s tax team seeks a capable and motivated individual to be a Tax Automation Specialist III in the Direct Tax Technology team, based in Seattle.

The impact of their work is evidenced in improved efficiency in processing, empowered customers and a Tax department that continues to meet the unique challenges of Amazon.
You bring a set of skills that allow you to execute across various components of the "automation" lifecycle: data (e.g., requirements gathering, validation, enrichment, storage, access, sharing, publishing, management, analysis, use, protection, privacy, and archive); solutioning (e.g., requirements gathering, design, build, test, deploy, document and support); and process (e.g., simplification/optimization, process mapping/documentation, business cycle support). You utilize various tools and technology to accelerate and simplify tax processes and data. Your efforts result in increased scalability, enhanced controllership and a reduction in manual efforts.
