Software Engineer Jobs: Right Time to Apply
It’s a good time to apply for a software engineer job at Amazon.
The e-tail giant is introducing Best Fit, a new program that
allows software engineers to apply once and be considered for thousands of jobs
across the company. Candidates interested in software engineering jobs at
Amazon apply once and are automatically considered for thousands of different
relevant jobs across hundreds of teams within the company.
As part of the Best Fit application process, candidates are
asked to define their ideal job, from their tech stack and domains of interest
to their preferred location to the kind of team they are looking for and their
working style. After passing an online assessment and interviews, candidates
are presented with multiple matches in the fields they prefer, as well as in
new areas in which Amazon thinks they would be successful.
Candidates get to meet all the hiring managers, and then
they get to choose their preferred role. The company says it believes that
pairing a candidate with a team that fits their working style and personal
interests will help them be more successful and accelerate their career. The
tens of thousands of open software engineer roles include positions on teams
supporting the Alexa voice assistant device developing new features for Amazon
Fashion.
According to Amazon, initial feedback from job seekers has
been positive. The company, which recently took the top spot in LinkedIn’s
fifth annual ranking of the companies that offer the best places for
professionals to grow their careers and develop skills, is actively trying to
recruit new employees. Amazon also recently launched Amazon Returnship, an
initiative to help 1,000 professionals get back to work after they lost or left
their jobs—including those displaced by the impacts of COVID-19.
“The best, most rewarding part of my job is connecting
people with a role where they will thrive and grow,” Alfonso Palacios, VP of
recruiting, Amazon, said in a corporate blog post. “We have tens of thousands
of opportunities, and my team works obsessively to improve the experience for
those who want to come to join us. That means helping candidates save time when
navigating our open positions and—most importantly—giving them choices when it
comes to relevant roles.”
