This position is for the Echo Show Home team which owns the face of the device through its home screen, one of the most monetized surfaces on EFD.

You will be responsible for developing and maintaining new systems, partnering with other Amazon and third‑party services and device teams as required. You will ensure that Alexa almost never drops her end of the conversation, delivering services that respond with minimal latency at Amazon scale. You may work on device frameworks, web services, APIs, large‑scale data infrastructure, and more.
