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 scientists, and security experts to develop robust solutions.

Key Job Responsibilities

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 the ground up, be a technical leader, and have an impact on 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 new concepts. You will need to be a focused and thoughtful leader of your team who works effectively with external and internal partners.
