Description

Come build the future of one of the world’s largest customer service platforms at Amazon!

The Amazon Customer Service (CS) organization seeks to delight our customers in every interaction they have, from self-serve technology to direct interaction with customer service associates. Customer Service works to offer effective, empathetic, and efficient issue resolution when our customers need us, and are champions of driving defects out of customer experiences across the entire company.

The Contact Handling Experience team within CS plays a critical part of that mission by ensuring associates are at their best to solve customer issues, empowered with effective tools, training and coaching. We own associate-facing solutions which empower them to solve customer problems, as well as AI-powered coaching and contact analysis systems which establish new standards for customer service excellence across the CS organization.

The Contact Handling Experience team is seeking a innovative Sr. Software Development Engineer to lead technical strategy and support the team’s growth through mentorship.

As Customer Service evolves toward a vision which leverages Generative AI to give both customers and associates the support they need at scale, you will help define our technical strategy. We're looking for technical minds who can innovate and build robust solutions.

• Work with cross-functional teams, including Product, UX, Data Science and Business Intelligence, to conceive, design and implement innovative solutions.
