Software Development Engineer, Alexa Devices, Alexa Presentation

Interested in Amazon Echo? Want to create products that will reach more than 100 million customers? Come join a close-knit team that's evolving the definition of Alexa, Amazon's virtual assistant.

Amazon Alexa started with the vision of delivering the Star Trek computer to our customers. Today, customers can already ask Alexa to control their smart homes, TVs, play music, and get information, news, weather, and more using just their voice.

We are now augmenting Alexa’s voice-forward interaction model with a range of experiences such as rich animated visuals, video, and immersive audio.

We're creating the future of multi-modal interaction - what you see on devices today is just the beginning - it's still Day 1.

You’ve found the right team if you are a passionate software engineer with experience building innovative applications that customers love.

You will join a growing organization with teams in Seattle and Vancouver, Canada and have an enormous opportunity to make an impact on the design, architecture, and implementation of cutting edge products used every day, by people you know.

We’re working hard, having fun, and making history; come join us!
