The Alexa Smart Properties Screen Experience team builds the visual interfaces that complement Alexa voice interactions across hospitality and senior living properties — serving thousands of properties and millions of daily screen interactions worldwide. We own enterprise device screen experiences and notifications.
As an SDE 2, you'll own the design and delivery of software features spanning our front-end rendering stack (React, TypeScript) and cloud services (Lambda@Edge, CloudFront, DynamoDB). You'll work on difficult problems like multi-tenant rendering with property-specific branding, cross-device compatibility (Echo Show 8"/11"/15"/21"), offline resilience, and sub-second performance at scale. You'll take feature specifications from concept through the full software lifecycle — design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations — with increasing independence.
Our team values sustainable pace, knowledge sharing, and career growth. We assign work that develops you as a well-rounded engineer while delivering real impact to the properties and guests we serve.
Key job responsibilities
Design and deliver software features end-to-end — from working backwards on requirements through implementation, testing, deployment, and operations — delivering frequently and incrementally with high-quality, production-ready code
Collaborate with partner teams (APL, Device Software, Alexa AI, Property Management) to integrate screen experiences with voice capabilities and property management systems
Contribute to operational excellence by participating in on-call rotations, driving root cause analysis, improving alarms and runbooks, and addressing systemic issues that reduce rendering failures
Participate actively in design and code reviews, providing meaningful feedback to peers including more senior engineers, and seeking early feedback on your own work to ensure alignment with team architecture
Identify and mitigate technical risks in your feature area — performance bottlenecks, accessibility gaps (WCAG 2.1), reliability issues — escalating when risks extend beyond your scope
