AI in this role
Lead product vision and execution for Alexa Connections, building foundational AI-driven communication experiences at scale.
Come define what it means for AI to communicate on behalf of humans.
With over 600 million Alexa-enabled devices in customers’ homes, Amazon is entering a new era—where advances in generative AI are transforming Alexa from a reactive assistant into a proactive, deeply personal communications partner.

AI-powered productivity (calendar/task extraction, intelligent summarization, proactive assistance)
We are also pioneering real-time, multimodal AI primitives that power experiences across the Amazon ecosystem—spanning Alexa, Fire TV, Ring, and beyond. Generative AI is not a feature here—it is foundational to how we build, ship, and scale.
