Amazon is hiring thousands of workers every week across 60+ countries. The Work Authorization team ensures that all employees hired (into all lines of business, globally) are legally authorized to work and remain authorized to work throughout their employment.

This solution will include building dedicated web applications to satisfy legal requirements specific to each country or region
