Amazon is seeking a highly motivated and experienced SA to join the Alexa team, focused on building innovative enterprise partnerships across Smart Home. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of GenAI integrations at scale in some of the most dynamic and fast-growing market segments. Powered by GenAI, Alexa+ is a new personal AI assistant that gets things done—smarter, more conversational, and more capable, available across a family of devices including screened, non-screened, mobile, FireTV, and Alexa.com. Rebuilt from the ground up, this new version of Alexa uses a state-of-the-art architecture that automatically connects a variety of LLMs, agentic capabilities, services, and devices at scale.

In your role as voice of the developer, and representing Amazon as a senior technical leader, you’ll manage relationships with customer senior leadership, providing technical consultation to key development partners, and lead complex projects with cross-team impact. Responsibilities include proactively identifying future trends and product gaps, developing reusable architectural frameworks to accelerate adoption, and establishing best practices that empower the broader SA community. This position requires operating with a strong product mindset, and leveraging that to translate complex technical concepts into business value for senior leaders while helping partners identify innovative applications for Alexa's capabilities, and make strategic trade-offs to achieve long-term goals.

The ideal candidate brings extensive technology solution design experience, proven success leading large-scale cloud architectural implementations, and a track record of driving technical strategy with executive stakeholders. You combine deep technical expertise with strong leadership abilities, enabling you to drive cross-team change, and mentor other architects while building lasting partnerships at the highest levels.

Partner & Business Impact

- Drive C-level technical engagement with strategic partners, establishing technology roadmaps that drive Amazon and partner flywheels

Strategic Leadership & Development

- Collaborate with product leadership during early formation stages of new capabilities, directly influencing product requirements and go-to-market strategies
- Accelerate SA community development by mentoring junior architects, performing technical promotion assessments, and establishing team best practices
- Represent Amazon as a recognized thought leader at major industry events, establishing technical credibility that opens new strategic partnership opportunities
