Our Digital Studios team develops experiences on web, mobile, and voice that reaches millions of users each day - inspiring them with ideas and tools to create their own unique world.

We’re looking for a software engineer to develop services that support conversational applications built on voice-first and chat platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Facebook Messenger.

3. Writing unit tests and end-to-end tests, against your code, to be used in our CI workflow
4. Participate in peer code reviews, provide and handle constructive feedback, and develop team knowledge

Requirements
