Description For Software Development Engineer, Alexa +, Alexa Skills Kit

Alexa+ is Amazon's next-generation, AI-powered digital assistant designed to be more conversational, intelligent, and personalized than previous versions. As a Software Development Engineer on the Alexa Skill Build Platform team, you'll be responsible for enabling internal and external partners to build exceptional Alexa+ experiences by managing the lifecycle of "experts" - systems, capabilities, APIs, and instructions that allow Alexa+ to accomplish specific customer tasks.

The role involves building high-quality software for millions of Echo devices using cutting-edge technologies including Large Language Models. You'll take ownership of architecture decisions, drive engineering best practices, and contribute to team members' professional development. Working in a collaborative environment, you'll participate in design discussions, implement solutions, and conduct code reviews.

The Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) organization aims to empower skill builders to create engaging experiences by making Alexa more natural, accurate, conversational, and personalized. Skills are like apps for Alexa, enabling customers to perform tasks through voice commands. Your work will directly impact hundreds of millions of Alexa devices and users worldwide.

This is an opportunity to shape the future of voice-based AI technology while working with a fun, close-knit team that pushes boundaries and supports each other's growth. The role offers competitive compensation ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location, plus equity and comprehensive benefits.
