If so, we are looking for you to fill a challenging position in Alexa Enterprise Products team.

As a Software Development Engineer (SDE), you will be responsible for designing, developing, testing, and deploying solutions for Alexa Enterprise Products for world-wide customers. In this role, you will collaborate closely with Alexa teams and functions to influence our overall strategy and define the team’s roadmap. You will also drive the system architecture, spearhead best practices that enable a quality product, and help coach and develop junior engineers.

A successful candidate will have an established background in engineering large scale software systems, a strong technical ability, great communication skills, and a motivation to achieve results in a fast-paced environment.

Collaboration is key in this position. You'll work closely with internal teams and external partners, communicating effectively with both technical and business stakeholders.
