Description

The Alexa+ team seeks an experienced Solutions Architect to help third-party developers integrate their products and services with Alexa+.

Powered by generative AI, Alexa+ is your new personal AI assistant that gets things done—she’s smarter, more conversational, more capable, and will be available across our family of devices: screened, non-screened, mobile, FireTV, and Alexa.com, to name a few. Rebuilt from the ground up, this new version of Alexa uses a state-of-the-art architecture that automatically connects a variety of large language models (LLMs), agentic capabilities, services, and devices at scale.

As the technical face of Amazon, you'll collaborate with senior leadership at top-tier brands to architect innovative voice and multi-modal AI experiences. You'll provide hands-on technical guidance throughout integration lifecycles while balancing partner needs with Amazon's strategic priorities.

The ideal candidate brings proven cloud and AI development expertise alongside external partner collaboration experience. You combine deep technical knowledge with exceptional communication skills, enabling you to translate complex technologies into business value and build credibility with developers at all levels.
