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 Alexa Enterprise Products team.

As a SDE, you will be responsible for designing, developing, testing, and deploying solutions for Alexa Enterprise Products for world-wide customers. In this, you will collaborate closely with Alexa teams and functions to influence our overall strategy and define the team’s road map. 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.

In this role, you'll provide technical leadership, overseeing system architecture and design while mentoring junior team members.

Collaboration is key in this position. You'll work closely with internal teams and external partners, communicating effectively with both technical and business stakeholders. Your strong communication skills will be vital in translating technical concepts to non-technical team members and in fostering a culture of teamwork.

As a technical leader, you'll have a significant impact on the direction and implementation of new features. This role requires a commitment to excellence, a strong work ethic, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
