Senior Conversation Designer - Alexa Audio
As a senior conversation designer on Alexa Audio (part of the new Alexa Domains team), I'm focused on scaling what I've learned designing one of Alexa's first LLM-driven conversational experiences for video to our Audio experiences. I'm also establishing new patterns and best practices for LLM-driven conversation design with conversation design, science, and engineering leaders across Alexa and Amazon. A design thinker with over 10 years of experience, I design agent-forward Alexa experiences that extend across a range of interfaces (speakers, screened speakers, TVs, apps, in-car infotainment)

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's career trajectory shows a strong focus on conversation design and AI, which is a specialized field. While their experience at Amazon and Amelia demonstrates working in large, innovative tech environments, their educational background is primarily in humanities. The target role of 'Software Engineer' is a significant pivot from their current and past roles, which are design-centric. This indicates a potential mismatch in core technical responsibilities and a need to assess their software engineering capabilities.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong leadership and strategic thinking in conversation design and AI. Their experience in teaching workshops and establishing design teams indicates good communication and collaboration skills. The Northwestern University certificate in Applied Project Management suggests an understanding of project execution and operational processes.
