Support Engineer - Spanish, Alexa Information & Ads
DESCRIPTION
At the intersection of AI and natural language understanding, voice-assistant technology is one of the most exciting industries to work in today. Alexa is Amazon’s voice AI. Alexa lives in the cloud and is happy to help anywhere there's internet access and a device that can connect to Alexa. Making Alexa part of your day is as simple as asking a question. Alexa can play your favourite song, read the latest headlines, dim the lights in your living room, and more. Basically, Alexa wants to make your life easier, more meaningful, and more fun by helping you voice control your world, both at home and on the go.

We identify and correct knowledge gaps and share findings to implement scalable solutions across languages.
