Alexa News keeps customers informed about the world around them by seamlessly integrating the news they want most into their everyday lives. We build news experiences across multiple devices, including the Echo Family, Fire TV, and Fire Tablet. These experiences touch every aspect of news, from lean-back (“Alexa, what’s the news?”) to specific questions (“Alexa, what’s the latest with the election?”). Our teams work in a fast-paced environment with people who are passionate about our customers, experiences, and systems. As a member of the team, you should be able to learn new concepts quickly and feel at home in a new and constantly evolving space. The Provider Experience team is responsible for creating programs, tools and experiences that help newsrooms around the world integrate their content into all of the News Experiences on Alexa. As a developer on the team, you will be building systems to ensure that content from various news sources is integrated into our platform and is accessible
