Do you want to shape the future of how Alexa enabled devices connect with Alexa Cloud? Do you want to lead and be part of a team that builds services used by millions of customers? If you said yes to any or all of those questions, come join the Alexa Connected Devices

We are seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer to lead the development of Tier-1 Connectivity services which enable connectivity between Alexa enabled devices (Echo, Smart Home, etc.) and Alexa.

Key Job Responsibilities

You will lead the design, development, testing and deployment of cross team projects, meet with stakeholders, drive execution, and mentor junior engineers. You will be an independent technical leader, capable of working on your own and guiding team members to navigate complex problems. In this role, you will lead and architect cloud services which will streamline connectivity between Alexa-enabled devices and Alexa Cloud. You will influence architecture across the Alexa ecosystem and play a pivotal role in designing the future of Alexa. You will lead projects to streamline team processes and create mechanisms to effectively deliver projects.

A Day in the Life

You will be the technical leader responsible for service design, development, and operations. You will brainstorm new ideas and work on forward looking architectures and design with Principal Engineers and other Senior Software Engineers. You will architect, analyze, design, develop, test, and deploy software features and fix defects. You will participate and lead in sprint planning and daily scrum, break down technical work, identify technical blockers, and navigate solutions. You will mentor team members. You will partner with your managers and other technical leaders across the org to achieve a desired technical consensus. You will author docs to communicate vision, proposals and designs.

About the Team

The mission of the Alexa Connectivity teams is to deliver a low latency, low cost, highly reliable, and highly scalable connectivity between Alexa enabled devices and Alexa Cloud. The changes we make improve the speed and reliability experienced by end customers when interacting with Alexa devices, and simplify the experience for developers and the rest of Alexa by abstracting the connection management from them. The team handles tens of billions of transactions per day. We are cold starting this team in Bangalore. This is a highly visible role to get in the inception phase, set up your team, transition the project, define the roadmap, build new features, and operate multiple tier-1 Cloud Services. The ideal candidate is excited about the incredible opportunity that Alexa and Cloud represent, and is passionate about delivering high-quality services in a hyper-growth environment. Our newest leader will be customer-centric, enjoy working on complex software problems, and possess analytical and problem-solving skills.
