Alexa+ is Amazon's next-generation, generative AI-powered assistant that offers smarter, more natural, and context-aware interactions. It handles multi-step requests, learns user habits, and integrates with third-party services — moving far beyond simple voice commands. Alexa+ is accessible across Echo devices, the Alexa app, and the web.

The Alexa Daily Essentials (ADE) QA Organization leads quality assurance, test automation, and tool development for the Alexa domains customers depend on most — including Timers, Alarms, Reminders, Calendar, Food, News, Memory, CAM, and Hand-off to Alexa.

We are looking for a motivated Quality Assurance Engineer I (QAE I) to help ensure the quality of these essential Alexa+ experiences. You will create and execute test plans, build and maintain test automation, perform defect triage, and help validate generative AI-powered features where responses are dynamic, conversations are multi-turn, and the assistant proactively anticipates customer needs. You'll contribute to our automation-first culture by leveraging AI-assisted testing tools and identifying opportunities to automate repetitive tasks.

If you're passionate about product quality, excited about the intersection of AI and quality engineering, and want to build the technology behind the smartest Alexa ever — this is the job for you!
