Software Dev Engineer II, Personal Devices

We are building a new class of Alexa-powered personal devices and need engineers to create the fast, reliable, and delightful software that powers next-generation wearable devices and agentic AI experiences. This role involves writing production code across the stack—on-device, service, and AI integration layers—and owning features end-to-end, from design through launch and operation.

About The Team

Join a fast-paced, high-energy, collaborative team working to define the future of Alexa-powered personal devices. You’ll work hard, invent, and ship delightful devices and experiences while learning and growing in your career.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, test, and operate high-quality software components and features for personal device experiences, owning them from design through production.
• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and participate actively in code reviews, raising the quality bar for yourself and the team.
• Partner with senior engineers to translate product and design requirements into sound technical designs, making pragmatic trade-offs across performance, reliability, and time-to-market.
• Debug and resolve issues across the stack—on-device software, backend services, and AI/agent integration layers—and improve the systems that surface them.
• Contribute to operational excellence: build monitoring, alarming, and automation that keep services healthy, and participate in on-call rotations.
• Collaborate across engineering, applied science, design, and product to ship features on schedule, communicating status and risks clearly.
• Continuously learn new tools, frameworks, and agentic AI capabilities and bring that knowledge back to the team.

Requirements

• 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience (design patterns, reliability, and scaling) of new and existing systems.
