Alexa is the groundbreaking, cloud-based intelligent agent that powers the Echo and other devices designed around your voice. Our team is creating the science and technology behind Alexa. Our goal is to delight our customers by adding new features to Alexa and by improving the accuracy of our existing natural language understanding models. Come build Artificial Intelligence! In this unique software development engineering role, you will embed into a team of research scientists, language engineers (linguists), data specialists, and technical program managers. Our team is responsible for the natural language understanding models in two key feature domains, including both machine learning models and deterministic models. Your work will directly impact our customers in the form of novel products and services that make use of speech and language technology. You will spend a portion of your time performing the same modeling tasks as our research scientists, and the remainder of your time will
