Description

Amazon is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Solutions Architect to join the Alexa Smart Properties (ASP) team, focused on building innovative enterprise partnerships across hospitality, senior living, and healthcare. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of customer-centric experiences in some of the most dynamic and fast-growing market segments.

Operating with the spirit and energy of a start-up, the ASP Solutions Architecture team partners with top-tier companies and developers to create extraordinary customer experiences on the Alexa platform.

We're looking for someone who can write code with the best of them, and who is equally passionate about guiding the broader industry toward a technology they believe in. You bring immediate credibility with technologists and developers at all levels, and you love sharing that passion with others - knowing when and where to make the greatest impact. You don't just want to be part of an industry movement;

you want to be out front, leading it. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
