Software Development Engineer II, Alexa Devices, Sales \u0026 Marketing
Bellevue, Washington
Interested in driving the next set of experiences on Alexa? We have a great opportunity for a Software Development Engineer to join our team and reimagine what world class developer tools can be built to drive the next set of capabilities on Alexa. We are reinventing our technology stack and working hard, having fun, making history; come join us!
We are looking for passionate, hard-working, and talented Software Development Engineer focused on building scalable, low latency Alexa services that integrate with Amazon Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) systems. You will have an enormous opportunity to make a large impact on the Alexa Business through cross-functional designs, working with partner teams on system architecture, and driving implementation of cutting edge developer tools and services that set a new standard in the Large Language model space.
Key job responsibilities
- Responsible for the development and maintenance of key system features that support LLM based experiences.
- Will work with other team members to collaborate and align on design approaches, prototype new technology and evaluate technical feasibility.
- Own development in multiple layers of the stack including distributed workflows hosted in native AWS architecture
- Will work in an Agile/Scrum environment to deliver high quality software against aggressive schedules.
- Operational rigor for a rapidly growing tech stack
- Measure success metrics and influence evolution of the tech product
A day in the life
A typical day begins with a morning huddle to review the team's progress from the previous day. This is often followed by collaborative design discussions, focusing on the challenges the team is tackling. The afternoon is primarily dedicated to project design and implementation tasks, with frequent code reviews among team members. We foster a supportive and cohesive team environment, where everyone is willing to pitch in, push boundaries, and enjoy the process together!
