Sr UX Designer, Scaling Tools & Software, Amazon Devices

Description

Are you passionate about designing tools and software that enable organizations to scale rapidly while delivering great value to customers? Are you excited by talking to customers, understanding their pain points, and delivering results that solve them? The Amazon Devices Customer Insights and UX Team seeks a thoughtful, creative, and motivated Senior UX Designer to design software and tools that enable the Devices organization to scale and automate demand planning, promotion services, and forecasting efforts for Amazon Devices, including Echo & Alexa devices, Fire TV, Fire Tablets, Kindle E-readers, Ring and Blink Home Security products, and more. You will partner with Product Managers, Software Engineers, Machine Learning Scientists, Strategic Planners, UX Designers, and User Researchers to drive innovation for new and optimized prediction, simulation, and personalization services that enable customers to purchase Amazon Devices at the time and place they desire.

As a Sr. UX Designer for Scaling Tools & Software, you will own the definition and design of simple, fluid, and beautiful experiences that simplify workflows for internal customers while enabling innovation for machine learning models, science, and technology to automate or completely augment workflows in the way we know them today. You have an inventor’s spirit and highly refined aesthetic sensibilities to design elegant data visualizations that help users to make educated business decisions that drive billions in revenue annually. You obsess over the customer experience; never settling for good enough. You love to dive into unknown territory, thrive in ambiguity, and invent simple solutions to complex challenges, working in a fast-paced, startup-like environment. Your work will focus on desktop first, but you should be passionate about expanding features that move with users from one device to another.

You are a pragmatic visionary that can translate business needs into a fantastic customer-focused solution. You must be responsive, flexible, and able to deal with ambiguity within an open and collaborative peer environment. The ideal candidate for this position will be at ease visualizing an experience in the abstract and then being able to drive that vision into solid design deliverables that achieve the customer goals and business requirements.
