This role focuses on integrating AI-driven capabilities into services that handle billions of transactions daily. The ideal candidate will contribute to building low-latency, reliable connectivity between Alexa-enabled devices and the cloud. This position offers an opportunity to work in a dynamic Agile/Scrum environment and mentor colleagues in AI-first development practices.

  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience, including coding standards and operations
  • Experience with Machine Learning and Large Language Model fundamentals

Responsibilities

  • Build low-latency, low-cost, highly reliable, and highly scalable connectivity services between Alexa-enabled devices and Alexa Cloud
  • Design and integrate AI components into connectivity services, evaluating trade-offs across latency, cost, reliability, and accuracy
  • Drive and lead software design, development standards, team processes, and code reviews
  • Leverage AI-augmented development tools to accelerate design, coding, testing, and debugging workflows
  • Deliver high-quality software through working in a dynamic, team-focused Agile/Scrum environment

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
