Description

Are you looking for an opportunity to build a highly available, large scale, enterprise-wide software solution? Does it excite you to find patterns and build generic, composable software solutions to solve complex problems? Are you looking for inventing newer and simpler ways of building solutions? If so, we are looking for you to fill a challenging position in the Alexa Smart Properties team.

As an engineer, you'll develop scalable, flexible and widely-used services to manage trust on the Alexa Services. You'll work closely with senior and principal engineers, data scientist and security experts to develop robust solutions.

Key job responsibilities

Want to join a startup team building new Alexa experiences for hospitality and other out-of-home segments? Customers tell us they love the convenience of Alexa and smart home, and we want to extend those experiences to shared living spaces such as rentals, assisted living and more.

We are looking for a passionate, hard-working, and talented software engineer who has experience building innovative applications that customers love. You will build new services and experiences from ground up, will be a technical leader and have impact tech design, architecture, and implementation of Alexa features.

In this role, you will take a pragmatic and iterative approach to building software: you will simplify and get things done while experimenting on rapid iterations on the new concepts. You will need to be a focused and thoughtful leader of your team who works effectively with external and internal partners.

A day in the life

Your role in this startup team will offer diverse opportunities for creating innovative software. On a given day you might:

- Design and develop micro-services to create new core software services.

- Build service architectures that have rock solid availability and performance.

- Work closely with customers, product managers, cross-team developers to build innovative software.

- Contribute to shaping up the learning habits of our youngest customers.

- Celebrate a successful rollout with a first-class engineering team!

About the team

We work on expanding Alexa's use case by creating features and core Alexa system functionality that allows Alexa to be use by business enterprises (as opposed to personal homes). You will be writing code to deliver these pieces of functionality.
