Tax Solutions Architect II, Direct Tax Technology

Tax Solutions Architect II, Direct Tax Technology

Direct Tax Technology (DTT) is seeking a Solutions Partner to bridge business needs and technical solutions for Amazon's global direct tax operations. You’ll work directly with 340+ tax professionals to design, build, and deploy automation solutions that transform how they handle Financial Closes, Tax Returns, Forecasting, and Audits. This role combines hands‑on development (Python, cloud‑based modeling) with customer partnership—you’ll spend time understanding tax workflows, prototyping solutions, guiding customers through testing, and iterating based on feedback.

• Partner directly with R&C tax teams to understand pain points, design end‑to‑end solutions, and build automation using DTT’s platform (PEX, Model Cloud, Data Cloud, Symphony)
• Write Python code, build tax models, create data pipelines, and deploy solutions—moving from requirements to production rapidly with customer feedback loops
• Guide customers through UAT, troubleshoot issues, provide training, and ensure smooth adoption of new capabilities
• Identify opportunities to apply AI and intelligent agents to tax workflows, prototype solutions, and scale successful experiments (supporting Project Mitchell goals)
• Work with PMT and PM to refine roadmaps, validate business value, ensure solutions are scalable and maintainable, and balance short‑term delivery with long‑term platform strategy
• Advise tax teams on best practices, help them self‑serve when possible, and provide oversight on complex modeling challenges

Morning:
Join a working session with the State Compliance team—they need apportionment logic automated. Sketch the approach and start building the PEX model together. Midday:
Demo yesterday’s prototype to FRC, gather feedback, and adjust the calculation logic. Afternoon:
Pair with the PM on roadmap priorities and help a tax analyst troubleshoot their Model Cloud template. Evening:
Experiment with an AI agent that could auto‑validate tax adjustments—promising results to share tomorrow. Customer‑facing, hands‑on, always iterating.

Direct Tax Technology (DTT) serves Amazon’s Tax Reporting & Compliance organization with specialized automation solutions. Our Solutions Partners work at the intersection of tax expertise and technology, building solutions that have saved 50,000+ hours annually. You’ll collaborate with Solutions Developers, tax domain experts, and product leadership. We operate with a "think strategically, act tactically" mindset—delivering immediate value while investing in scalable, long‑term capabilities.

Our platforms (Data Cloud, PEX, Symphony) process billions of records, and we’re expanding into AI‑powered automation.

• 3+ years of design, implementation, or consulting in applications and infrastructures
• 4+ years of specific technology domain experience (software development, cloud computing, systems engineering, infrastructure, security, networking, data & analytics)
• 3+ years of IT development or implementation/consulting in the software or Internet industries
• Bachelor’s degree

• Experience working within software development or Internet‑related industries
• Experience with scripting (e.g., Python, Power Shell)
• Demonstrated experience applying AI technologies (GenAI, machine learning, intelligent agents, or natural language processing) to transform customer workflows and drive measurable automation outcomes. Examples include building AI‑powered data validation systems, implementing intelligent document processing, creating chatbots or agents that automate repetitive tasks, or leveraging LLMs for classification/enrichment workflows. Ability to identify high‑value AI use cases, prototype solutions rapidly, measure impact, and scale successful experiments into production systems.
  
  Familiarity with prompt engineering, RAG architectures, or agent frameworks (Lang Chain, Auto Gen, etc.) is a plus.
