We will have the world's best audio and video quality on Alexa-enabled devices like Echo with communication that delights our customers regardless of where they are in the world or what network they are on. We will deliver on this promise by partnering with other teams to create a closed-loop system to drive continuous improvements, using historical and real-time data to control the calling experience.

You should be comfortable diving deep into technical architectures and requirements, be able to quickly identify solutions to challenges discovered during development, and be ready to work with some of the latest cloud computing technology. Prior experience building reliable, scalable solutions is required. Prior experience with web communications technologies like RTP, SDP, TURN, MCU is a plus. Successful candidates will thrive in fast-paced environments that leverage agile planning techniques, encourage and reward creative design, intelligent risk taking, and find innovative ways to leverage cutting edge technology.
