Software Development Engineer, Alexa Screen Experience

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
• Mentor newer engineers through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and onboarding support
• Make effective trade-offs between delivery speed and long-term maintainability, balancing immediate property needs with platform extensibility for future verticals
• Improve team processes by identifying and optimizing development workflows, testing practices, and deployment procedures

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
