Description

We are seeking a Senior UX Designer who will lead the design of intelligent, multimodal experiences across voice-first devices - defining how customers interact with AI-powered surfaces through voice, visuals, and touch. The ideal candidate brings strong visual design craft andinteraction design expertise to every surface, ensuring that screen-based moments are as polished, intuitive, and purposeful as the conversational experiences surrounding them. This role requires driving cross-organizational alignment, translating ambitious creative vision into shippable product, and establishing scalable design frameworks that bridge innovation with execution. We are looking for someone who demonstrates fluency in conversational AI, excellence in visual and interaction design, and the ability to influence product strategy through data-informed thinking and compelling storytelling to senior leadership.

Key job responsibilities

Drive design programs that span multiple organizations, device surfaces, and interaction modalities - establishing clear mechanisms for alignment, prioritization, and decision-making. Document design rationale, trade-offs, and recommendations. Build regular review cadences, prototype scalable design frameworks, and present to senior leadership to secure buy-in.

Create high-fidelity vision designs and interactive prototypes that demonstrate how AI-powered, context-aware capabilities can elevate customer experiences across voice-first devices. Identify strategic opportunities through landscape analysis and stakeholder research, and develop experience frameworks that inform product roadmaps and planning processes - including year plan priorities and Think Big workshops.

Translate bold creative concepts into actionable product requirements while navigating the unique constraints of voice-first hardware, on-device processing, and cloud-based AI services. Audit implementation quality, identify gaps in existing tooling and content pipelines, and advocate for solutions that maintain design integrity at scale. Partner with engineering teams to ensure proper implementation and with data science and ML teams to leverage appropriate models for personalization and multimodal rendering.

Use quantitative and qualitative data to validate design hypotheses, identify top-performing interaction patterns, and make evidence-based recommendations for iteration and scale across the device portfolio.

About the team

Our team shapes the customer experience across Amazon's voice-first and multimodal device surfaces - including Alexa, Fire TV, Fire Tablet, and beyond. We are pioneering intelligent, AI-powered experiences that feel native to each device context while delivering measurable value for customers and the business. We value designers who think strategically, bring exceptional visual and interaction design craft, communicate clearly, and can navigate ambiguity while maintaining high standards for quality and customer experience across every surface.

About the Company

A

Amazon

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
