About the RoleWhat You'll Do
You'll architect and develop conversational audio systems that understand natural language and complex queries like "play the song from the movie where pilots are playing volleyball." You'll create both reactive and proactive experiences that initiate audio content through routines, alarms, and timely suggestions. Working with tier 1 systems supporting millions of daily customer requests, you'll create lightning-fast spearfishing experiences that allow customers to quickly find exactly what they want through voice-forward and screen-based interfaces. You'll build experiences that work seamlessly across the full selection of Amazon devices (Echo, Fire TV, on-the-go and automotive) and 3P partners like Sonos and others. You'll design personalization systems that learn customer preferences and implement solutions leveraging both established machine learning approaches and generative AI technologies, working at the forefront of LLM technology with both Amazon Nova and Anthropic models.
