The Alexa Mobile App is used by 10s of millions of customers around the world. The bread and butter of the app is the ability to setup, control and manage your Alexa enabled devices from your mobile device. In fact, those features comprise 95% of all app customer engagement! They help customers connect their Echo devices to the internet, determine where to stream when customers ask for their "dance party" playlist, and determine which camera to show when a customer asks Alexa how their sleeping child is doing. Now is your chance to be an SDE leader and help push forward this highly visible, critically important functionality.

Key job responsibilities

- Designing, building and leading new app and backend projects. Previously app development experience (Android) is a big plus, although not required.

- Working independently as a true project lead and primary SDE point-of-contact.

- Working with engineers from across multiple, two-pizza teams.

- Collaborating with leaders to establish the team's tech strategy.

A day in the life

You will work frequently with other senior engineers and given the domain's extreme importance, most of your work will have high visibility.
