Description

AWS Applications and Higher Level Abstractions (Apps) provides horizontal and industry vertical applications for business users with the same on-demand scalability, reliability, pay-as-you-go pricing, and machine learning expertise that drive AWS services.

We are looking for a Senior User Experience (UX) Designer for the Amazon Dash Cart. You will create next generation shopping experiences that successfully bridge on-screen and physical cart interactions. You will work side-by-side with product managers, researchers, engineers, industrial designers, and store designers to give form to early ideas, and then bring those ideas to the finish line. You will design scalable shopping experiences across digital and physical modalities. You will develop a deep understanding of customer needs to create easy, delightful and new shopper experiences.

Key job responsibilities

As a Senior UX Designer for Amazon Dash Cart, you will create next generation shopping experiences that successfully bridge on-screen and physical cart interactions. You will work side-by-side with product managers, researchers, engineers, industrial designers, and store designers to give form to early ideas, and then bring those ideas to the finish line.

• Work creatively around difficult business and technical constraints to maintain a high customer experience bar.

• Lead the design process from concept design, through high fidelity prototypes, to final CX.

• Define user interactions, information architecture, and visual language and introduce improved design patterns and systems.
