It integrates content and business logic from domains across Amazon (PXT, IT, Sage, GREF, Approvals) and is accessible through A to Z on desktop, mobile, Slack, and as a Chrome extension. We're looking for a Senior Front-End Mobile Engineer to build the mobile experience for Aza on iOS and Android. This is a hands-on, craft-focused role where you'll own high-fidelity conversational and voice interfaces-the animation, the motion, the keyboard behavior, the theming-and work shoulder-to-shoulder with designers to turn intent into shipped product. If you care about the last 5% of polish that makes an app feel native, this is that job. The ideal candidate has deep React Native expertise, experience building conversational or voice-driven interfaces, and a track record of shipping high-quality mobile applications at scale.
