About the team
The Alexa Enterprise (AE) mission is to extend Alexa's capabilities and services to partners, accelerating Alexa's vision of creating the smartest, most capable, and trusted GenAI personal assistant. We help our partners create value and deliver a business we love. Alexa Built-In (ABI) is one product portfolio of AE, and it adds Alexa to 3P endpoints such as Smart TVs and Speakers to profitably drive incremental endpoints and new-to-Alexa customer acquisition. We build a portfolio of B2B2C software-as-a-service (SaaS) products that empower developers and enterprise companies to use voice to support their device usage and delight their customers.
We serve world-class customers such as Samsung, LG, Philips, Hisense, Sonos, and Bose, powering Alexa experience in millions of devices worldwide. Our team owns the end-to-end Alexa experience on a third-party device. Customers can ask Alexa to search their favorite content, control their smart home, change their device settings, and even switch devices on/off without using physical device buttons.
Most of our teams sit across Seattle (USA) and Bangalore (India). Our team values work-life harmony and a diversity of lifestyles and family schedules. We love solving ambiguous problems for our customers. We Think Big, Deliver Results, and Earn Trust. We rapidly create and deprecate mechanisms that help us be more effective and connected.
