Amazon Quality Assurance Engineer, Alexa Kids Experience in Seattle, Washington

Description

Alexa is the groundbreaking intelligent agent that has changed customers’ lives and made voice driven experiences a reality today. If you are passionate about innovating in the space of artificial intelligence and are a highly-motivated, talented quality assurance engineer who wants to bring AI into the lives of our youngest customers, then come join the newly formed Alexa Kids Experience team. To realize our vision of making Alexa a fun, supportive, and educational companion for kids, the team will innovate to build unique Alexa experiences from ground-up and solve a range of technical challenges across the Alexa architecture.

We are looking for talented Quality Assurance Engineer (QAE) who is enthusiastic about QA strategy and execution, cutting-edge technologies, and working in a fast paced dynamic environment. We operate as a startup within Amazon, providing great flexibility in product and technology direction. If you like to drive innovation and are passionate about raising the bar on the customer experience, then this may be the right career move for you!

Key job responsibilities

Our QAEs understand and implement effective test strategies to assess the quality of the system under test, through effective test planning, test case designing, test execution and automation of those tests. As a QAE on the team you will be a key voice in the design, coding, deployment, and post-deployment phases. You'll implement and own quality gates for code changes, ensuring our users' experience will be continually maintained or improved, while enhancing development experience with earlier and consistent discovery of issues.

Our QAEs are not pure black box testers; they are able to understand the software internals, debug problems using log files, and write automated tests using a variety of frameworks. You will develop high-quality test automation to drive lower operational costs and faster deployments.

A day in the life

As a QA Engineer on the team, you will collaborate with developers, product managers and technical program managers to identify unambiguous software requirements, understand all features and their implementation details, understand customer usage models and then develop and execute plans to get that software into our customers' hands in an efficient fashion with a high degree of confidence in its quality.
