DESCRIPTION

Job summaryAre you a software engineer with a passion for building great experiences? Are you looking for an opportunity to make a big impact in a company with a global footprint and a startup culture?

The Smart Home team is focused on making Alexa the user interface for the home. From the simplest voice commands (e.g., "turn on the lights", "turn down the heat") to use cases spanning home security, home entertainment, and home environment, we are evolving Alexa into an intelligent, indispensable companion that automates daily routines, simplifies interaction with appliances and electronics, and helps customers get the most out of the technology in their lives.

As a Software Development Engineer on the team, you will develop robust, highly-scalable, and globally distributed services that, together with machine learning, make the Smart Home intelligent. Your work will span Alexa skills, voice user interfaces, cloud services, and a rapidly-growing ecosystem of IoT devices. You will help lay the foundation to move from directed device interactions to learned behaviors that span multiple devices throughout the home. And, you will have the satisfaction of working on a product your friends and family can relate to, and want to use every day. Like the world of smart phones less than 15 years ago, this is a rare opportunity to have a giant impact on the way people live.

  • Craft new architecture designs with your teammates

These actions are backed by ML models developed by data scientists on the team. We strive to remove customer friction with their smart home and delight customers with magical experiences.
