About The Position

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. In this role, you will wear many hats — serving as a technical advisor, software developer, and industry evangelist. The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise and sharp business acumen, paired with a do-whatever-it-takes mindset to ensure partners fully leverage Alexa's capabilities and consistently deliver a delightful end-user experience. 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.
