Job description

At Amazon's Alexa Shopping, we strive to enable shopping in everyday life. We allow customers to instantly search & order whatever they need, by simply interacting with their Smart Devices such as Echo, Fire TV or any Alexa powered device. Our Services allow you to shop, no matter where you are or what you are doing, you can go from 'I want that' to 'that's on the way' in a matter of seconds. We are seeking the industry's best to help us create new ways to interact, search and shop. Join us, and you'll be taking part in changing the future of everyday life.

The Alexa Shopping group is seeking a talented engineer to help build and drive the evolution of Routing Technology across Alexa's shopping ecosystem. You'll work on the horizontal technology that orchestrates how requests route to specialized shopping verticals, enabling seamless experiences from product discovery to post-purchase on Alexa. In this role, you will build the next generation of AI-driven routing technology.

You will build and operate highly scalable systems to power delightful shopping experiences across various Alexa-powered devices. You will work closely with multiple partner teams across Alexa to deliver innovative solutions that enhance the customer experience.

About the team

We are Foundational Routing Technology team, part of Alexa Shopping in Seattle. We own the routing layer upstream of every Alexa Shopping experience: the technology that decides which specialized shopping capability answers each customer request

The work carries outsized reach. A single routing change shifts traffic across the entire shopping ecosystem, which means high ownership, careful engineering, and visible impact

This is hands‑on AI engineering, not AI‑adjacent. We design, evaluate, and operate LLM‑based systems end to end, and we are a senior‑heavy team, so there are people to learn from quickly and room to shape technical direction

Basic Qualifications:

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience


• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience


• Experience programming with at least one software programming language

Preferred Qualifications:

• 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience


• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
