Are you a Software Development Engineer with a passion for building great high quality experiences? Do you want to be part of the team that focuses on making Smart Home ambient, seamless and remarkable for our customers?

The Smart Home team is focused on making Alexa the user interface for the home. From the simplest voice commands (turn on the kitchen light or turn down the heat) to more complicated and natural use cases that use the power of AI and LLM, such as "Turn on the new light in my office" or "Turn off all the lights, except the living room if the TV is on". We are evolving Alexa into an even more intelligent, indispensable companion, that helps customers get the most out of the technology in their homes.

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer II that will help us maintain and raise the quality bar of Alexa customer experience. We build tools, services and developer experiences that enable Alexa Skill developers and Smart Home product developers to measure and improve their product quality and performance, thus positively impacting Alexa Smart Home customers.

• Design and code the right solutions starting with broadly defined problems.
• Build systems that are scalable, fault-tolerant, low cost, and easy to manage/use.
• Support operational excellence initiatives.
• Work in an agile environment to deliver high-quality software.

You will collaborate with other SDEs to design systems for Smart Home, and leverage the latest AWS technologies to build services to support them. You will functionally decompose complex problems into simple, straight-forward solutions. You are a person that has thrived and succeeded in delivering high quality technology products/services in a hyper-growth environment where priorities shift fast. You will be empowered to build out the future of smart home devices.

We are a team of Software Developers that is part of the Smart Home group. We work together to hold a high quality bar for the Alexa Smart Home experience. We ask each other questions and value our different perspectives. We seek to continuously improve, and take action every sprint to improve. We operate as an autonomous and self organizing team.
