Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1160
Hello, Teri here and I want to tell you about a job that I came across recently.
This is actually posted on LinkedIn, among other places and this is for a development engineer for Alexa Guard specifically.
So in addition to this job being available so first of all, if you’re interested in that job, I encourage you to look it up on the Amazon jobs and apply for it.
But what I find more interesting is that they are specifically advertising for someone to work on the Alexa Guard technology and this is something that has not been available in Canada.
Now this job that they’re advertising is specifically in Vancouver and so I have to assume that they are looking at developing this technology for us Canadians.
That would be great that we’d hopefully would have that feature come sooner rather than later.
Alexa smart home security team is focused on bringing Alexa customers peace of mind safety and security
The little blurb about it just to let you know, it says the Alexa smart home security team is focused on bringing Alexa customers peace of mind safety and security about their households and loved ones.
We build Alexa features such as Alexa Guard and integration with smart devices such as contact and motion sensors, cameras, security systems, et cetera.
So I find this very interesting, like I said, could this mean that Alexa Guard is going to be coming to Canada?
I hope so, I guess there’s no guarantee there but I find this quite encouraging. And of course, if you’re interested in this type of job and you are a software engineer, then definitely check it out and maybe you could be part of the team that brings this particular feature to Canada, alright?
Hope you’re having a wonderful day, enjoy the rest of your week and I look forward to speaking to you tomorrow, when we kick off the weekend with some fun Alexa commands.
Talk to you then.
