Sr. Front-End Mobile Engineer, Aza & PXT AI

Amazon.com Inc
  • Bellevue, WA
    30+ days ago

    Job Description

    PXT AI builds AI-powered products that serve Amazon"s global workforce. Our flagship product is Aza (A to Z Assistant), an AI Assistant used daily by hundreds of thousands of Amazonians to find information, complete tasks, and improve productivity.

    Aza is built on AWS technologies-Bedrock for RAG responses and multi-agent orchestration, and Nova for Voice. 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. You"ll work across the full mobile stack-from UI-thread animations to native modules to CI/CD pipelines-and raise the bar for mobile engineering across the team.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Build and own the mobile experience for Aza across iOS and Android using React Native
    • Implement complex UI animations and gestures using Reanimated (UI-thread animation), gesture handling, custom navigation transitions, and spring physics
    • Build conversational UI components: streaming/token-by-token rendering, markdown rendering, autoscroll, prompt suggestions, and nested prompt menus
    • Implement voice interaction features: live audio visualizers/waveforms, mic and session state management, wake-word handling behind feature flags, and text-to-speech playback using Amazon Nova and Polly
    • Integrate real-time client features-streaming responses from Bedrock, connection recovery, and long-lived session state
    • Build and extend the shared component library and design-token system (spacing, color, typography) used across PXT AI products
    • Implement multi-brand theming at scale-supporting light/dark modes and design variations across one codebase
    • Own keyboard, safe-area, and bottom-sheet interactions: composer-to-keyboard sync on the UI thread, detents, and edge-to-edge layouts
    • Drive React Native version upgrades and adopt the New Architecture (Fabric, TurboModules) to improve performance and maintainability
    • Ensure accessibility (WCAG) in mobile: screen-reader semantics and announcements, dynamic type and font-scale capping, focus order, and touch-target sizing
    • Implement internationalization and localization across 8+ languages, including RTL and text-expansion-safe layouts
    • Build feature-flagged, incremental rollout workflows-gating, staged launches, and clean revert/re-land patterns
    • Partner closely with product designers in Figma, providing implementation insight and pushing back constructively to improve designs
    • Write unit and component tests for UI code, and contribute to CI/CD infrastructure and release pipelines using AWS CDK or equivalent
    • Practice secure client engineering: no secrets in the client, backend-proxy patterns for credentialed calls, and supply-chain hygiene in package dependencies
    • Mentor other front-end engineers through code review and knowledge-sharing, raising the quality bar for the team

    About Company

    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.
