We need your experience, optimism, and energy to build simple, fluid, and beautiful experiences that accommodate Amazon"s growing and diverse product selection, and give customers everything they need to make confident buying decisions while delighting them along the way.

    We are constantly spotting opportunities to set new standards and challenge the status quo, and we need someone who does the same. The right person for this role sets and communicates a high bar for quality, collects data, and triangulates a variety of inputs into insights that inform customer-centered design solutions. You understand how to connect the dots and find opportunities between multiple touch points, and you"re passionate about leading design workshops, discovery activities, and creative reviews with colleagues at all levels.

    Beyond craft, you work strategically with executives and senior leaders to build alignment around broader design strategy and deliver best-in-class products. You"re an empathic teammate and mentor who nurtures a thriving, collaborative design culture, and a self-starter who can confidently navigate ambiguity.

    A senior UX designer role on our team offers the opportunity to lead the design of innovative retail shopping experiences across multiple big, exciting, and diverse programs worldwide. If you"re aligned with our leadership principles and ready to make a serious impact on our industry and the world, we"d love to hear from you.

    • Collaborate effectively across diverse teams and disciplines to drive alignment and efficiency
    • Develop and improve design patterns, standards, and processes that scale for your team
    • Lead brainstorming sessions and present at cross-team reviews to demonstrate features and drive design decisions
    • Synthesize qualitative and quantitative data (metrics, usability studies) to inform product-level customer experience decisions
    • Work closely with engineering to incorporate capabilities and constraints of the technology stack
    • Balance short- and long-term design requirements against engineering constraints

    About the team

    We"re an eclectic creative team of design, research, and design technology professionals who share our experiences and help each other succeed. We hire people who are unafraid of bringing their authentic selves to work because our inspiration and collaboration depend on the diversity of our teams and the inclusion of all voices in our process. We love a complex problem and moving fast in a growing and changing environment. We appreciate action and learning from mistakes. Championing our customers, placing their particular goals in the forefront, and lifting customer empathy across the larger organization is our sweet spot.

    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.
