The Amazon Alexa team focuses on bringing user-delighting, voice-activated experiences to Amazon customers. The Alexa team first began with the development of Amazon Echo, a new category of device designed entirely around your voice. It's always ready, connected, and fast — just ask for information, music, news, weather, and more. Echo begins working as soon as it detects the wake word. Echo is also an expertly tuned speaker that can fill any room with immersive sound.But the team of speech scientists, voice designers, developers, and more didn’t stop there. It is still Day One for the team to work on audio, automatic speech recognition, and natural language solutions that revolutionize how customers interact with Amazon’s products and services. We are currently located in Seattle, Boston, Sunnyvale, and the EU, and continue to grow.The Alexa platform is working on other voice-activated Amazon Devices, like Amazon Fire TV, and extending into working with connected smart home products through the Alexa Voice Service. Additionally, the Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) allows third-party developers to easily build and add their own skills to Alexa, like purchasing tickets through StubHub.The team is growing rapidly and seeks passionate, entrepreneurial technologists with deep expertise in speech recognition, language understanding and audio processing.We are inventors working to build the best solutions to unique problems. Come join us.
