We are looking for a Software Development Engineer that will help us evolve Alexa into the AI assistant of the future by helping build, train, and deploy modern AI models. The Smart Home team is focused on making Alexa the user interface for the home. From the simplest voice commands (turn on the kitchen light or turn down the heat) to more complicated and natural use cases that use the power of AI and LLM, such as “Turn on the new light in my office” or “Turn off all the lights, except the living room if the TV is on”. We are evolving Alexa into an even more intelligent, indispensable companion that automates routines, simplifies interaction with appliances and electronics, and alerts when something unusual is detected. You will be part of a team delivering features that are highly anticipated by media and well received by our customers. And, you will have the satisfaction of working on a product your friends and family can relate to, and want to use every day.
