Come work in a great organization on a product you (and millions of other people) use every day. The Alexa Mobile App is the number one endpoint for accessing Alexa functionality (LLM), controlling devices, managing entertainment, and enhancing productivity.

You will be a key member in defining the vision for the next version of the Alexa Mobile app.

The Alexa Mobile Performance team is responsible for building the technology infrastructure that ensures the app performs optimally, providing a seamless experience for our millions of users.

Come join a team with a great culture. Work hard, have a lot of fun, and make a difference.

Learning, delivering, and making an impact in the way our organization evolves is our biggest desire. We explore new and interesting technologies to solve our business problems, and we keep our focus on the long-term impact on our changes.
