About The Position

Come join us to launch Alexa+ globally to millions of customers across 100+ countries, solving hard challenges in multilingual, conversational CX evaluation across multimodal experiences spanning text, voice, and visual across many device surfaces.

The Alexa Global Quality (AGQ) team is responsible for ensuring Alexa delivers a high-quality, culturally relevant experience to customers across multiple international locales. We are building a scalable, AI-powered automation solution for multi-locale and linguistic product validation — one that can efficiently scale across all supported locales while maintaining the cultural and linguistic nuances that matter to our diverse customer base.
