About the team
We are Foundational Routing Technology team, part of Alexa Shopping in Seattle. We own the routing layer upstream of every Alexa Shopping experience: the technology that decides which specialized shopping capability answers each customer request
The work carries outsized reach. A single routing change shifts traffic across the entire shopping ecosystem, which means high ownership, careful engineering, and visible impact
This is hands-on AI engineering, not AI-adjacent. We design, evaluate, and operate LLM-based systems end to end, and we are a senior-heavy team, so there are people to learn from quickly and room to shape technical direction
