We enable customers to use voice to query any product, interact with their carts, place a purchase, or ask about order status, by simply interacting with their Alexa enabled devices such as Echo, Echo Show or Fire TV. Our products allow you to shop, no matter where you are or what you are doing, you can go from 'I want that' to 'that's on the way' in a matter of seconds. We are seeking the industry's best to help us create new ways to interact, search and shop. Join us, and you'll be taking part in changing the future of everyday life.
