We are the People eXperience Foundation (PXF) organization, responsible for building the web applications and distributed web services that supports over 1 million Amazon employees every day by teaching and reinforcing our unique Day 1 culture. We do this through technology solutions powered by data, machine learning and smart automation, that help Amazonians to take actions, guide them through processes, and enable them to self-serve, so that they spend less time in product and more time delivering for customers. We provide the one-stop experience that Amazonians use daily to manage their employment, grow their career, manage their teams and remain connected to life at Amazon. At PXF we serve Amazonians through a human-centered design approach to technology innovations, with the goal of supporting Amazon’s mission to be become Earth’s best employer.
PXF is organized in three engineering teams: PXF Framework, PXF Data Services, and PXF Content Services.
