Alexa+ is Amazon's next-generation personal assistant powered by generative AI – more conversational, smarter, personalized, and built to get things done on any device.
The Alexa 3P Experiences team is on a mission to expand what Alexa+ can do for customers by building consumer-facing experiences with trusted third-party partners like Uber, Ticketmaster, Yelp, and more.

A day in the life A typical day will start with a morning huddle to catch up on what you and your team worked on the previous day. This is usually followed by some whiteboard design discussions on the problems the team is working on. The afternoon is mostly spent on project design and implementation work with a heavy dose of code reviews from and for your team along the way. We are a fun, close-knit team where everyone is ready to roll up their sleeves and help each other out, push boundaries, and have fun doing it!
