Job Description
We are flexible on location for this role to be either in Bangalore or Chennai. As Alexa Audio, we own the audio experiences on Alexa-enabled devices. These experiences include Music, Podcast, Audio Books, Radio, and Ambient soundscapes. Our integration skill kits enable seamless integration of 1P 3P audio content providers, e.g., Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple etc., with Alexa devices.
Audio is one of the most widely used experiences on Alexa, and is enjoyed by millions of customers on a daily basis. There is a universe of tens of millions of distinct audio content that is available across streaming services. Using your voice, and timely proactive suggestions are the easiest ways to get to what you want. Alexa makes this magical for customers - ask any Alexa-enabled device to play your favorite song, podcast, book or a station, and Alexa will find the right content for you and play it.
We also support being able to control and manage playback across multiple devices, and movement of media playback across them. It is still Day 1 for the audio experiences, and we're looking for a leader to help us make it even better.
