    Job Description

    As AWS customers shift from console-based building to AI-augmented and agent-primary workflows, this role sits at the forefront of that transformation. You will lead research that shapes agentic products and experiences across AWS - cultivating new methodologies, partnering with science and engineering teams, and building the metrics and frameworks that assess experience impact at scale.

    We are seeking a UX Researcher with deep experience in agentic tools and large-scale systems. You will deliver insights that inform Experience Health metrics and segmentation, product strategy for AI-first and agent customers, and define where humans remain in the loop. This role requires a strong balance of technical fluency and a deep understanding of humans and their expected outcomes.

    You will bring creativity and a Learn and Be Curious mindset, partnering with science, engineering, and product teams across AWS to deliver solutions at scale. We move fast, and we need someone who can keep pace while maintaining a high bar for quality.

    The problems are genuinely interesting. With wide adoption of agentic AI, customer needs and expectations are changing fundamentally - and there are many new problems we do not yet have answers for. We have more questions than we can conduct research to answer, and that is where you come in.

    Key job responsibilities

    Design and execute qualitative and quantitative research to inform agent and agent-assisted experience strategy across AWS

    Partner with engineering teams to build agent tooling and research instrumentation

    Develop thought leadership on AI-augmented and agent-primary experiences that influences product development across AWS

    Lead EXA data product delivery with cross-functional teams, bringing the AI-first and agent-customer perspective

    Build prototypes using agentic tools to bring research insights to life and communicate ideas to stakeholders

    Contribute to the team"s research direction by proposing new approaches, maintaining the research knowledge base, and identifying emerging behaviors

    Mentor junior researchers

    About Company

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.

    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

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.
