Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #946
Hey, Teri here with your flash briefing for Monday, hope you’re off to a good start for your week.
As I promised, last week, I’ve been diving into a little bit of the jobs that are available with Amazon, particularly in Canada.
And there are a number of jobs, particularly in Vancouver and Toronto that are currently available.
And apart from, yes, you may be interested in applying for those jobs and by the way, you can see those at Amazon.Jobs.
I was interested to see what kind of jobs are being posted because that may give us a little bit of a clue in terms of what features we may be seeing soon.
And one of the first jobs that came upon this list was a development manager for Alexa Guard.
So if you don’t know Guard is one of the features that is available in United States, but it’s not here in Canada.
So what does that mean? Well, it does mean that Amazon obviously is trying to bring that to Canada, but if they’re looking to hire someone to work on it, it probably means that it’s not quite ready yet for primetime here in Canada.
Guard is one of the features that is available in United States, but it’s not here in Canada.
So that’s a little bit on the Alexa guard, some of the other jobs that I’m seeing posted include and these are all in Canada, areas of applied scientists, software development engineers, quality assurance engineers, solutions architects, applied scientists, language engineers, a senior voice user interface designer for Alexa shopping.
So that’s interesting they want to Canadian to working on that, lots and lots of development engineers I’m seeing.
And finally, I’m seeing a job called senior software development engineer for Alexa orchestration.
And to be honest, I’m not sure what orchestration means when it comes to Alexa but in the job description, it says Alexa orchestration is situated at the center of all Alexa customer experiences, whether they are traditional customer-initiated speech interactions, or the growing set of Alexa initiated proactive scenarios such as routines and notifications, very interesting.
Anyway, so there’s a little bit of insight into what’s going on in Canada with the job market.
Again, if you’re interested in one of those jobs, definitely check it out.
Go to Amazon.Jobs and apply and we’ll get some great Canadians on the team, alright?
Have a wonderful day, talk to you soon.
