In addition to answering such questions as, "Alexa, what homework do I have due this week?", "Alexa, what did Hannah do in school today?", or "Alexa, what was Jack's score on his math test?", we envision a transformative voice experience where Alexa engages with customers in novel ways to supports the learning process.
The Alexa team is looking for a software development engineer to deliver on its vision for delivering voice-first experiences to customers.

To be successful in this role, you will need to be self-motivated and customer-focused with a good instinct for developing software services that scale.

You must be a focused, thoughtful team player who works effectively with external and internal partners. Lastly, you will need a passion for Alexa and desire to bring to life her endless possibilities for customers.
