The Smart Home team is focused on making Alexa the user interface for the home. From the simplest voice commands (turn on the lights, turn down the heat) to use cases spanning home security, home entertainment, and the home environment, we are evolving Alexa into an intelligent, indispensable companion that automates daily routines, simplifies interactions with appliances and electronics, and alerts when something unusual is detected. You will be part of a team delivering features that are highly anticipated by the media and well received by our customers.

We value open communication, whether its in regards to what you need to accomplish for your career goals or what we as an organization can improve to better support our teammates and provide the best possible work environment.

We help team members when they feel stuck and we want to make sure everyone feels included.
