UX Designer, Device and Services Design Group - Emerging Design
This is a high-ownership role where you'll operate with autonomy, bias for action, and a builder's mindset. You'll be driving 0-to-1 product launches on emerging products, shaping agentic customer experiences, and pushing the boundaries of what ambient, multimodal AI can do for people every day. If you thrive in ambiguity, love working across device form factors, and want to define new consumer experiences from the ground up, this role is for you.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end design of features, from early-stage concepts that build stakeholder conviction, through to production-ready execution alongside engineering.
- Deliver high-quality designs and assets with a sharp eye for typography, layout, motion, iconography, and detail.
- Partner with designers across Alexa to adopt, extend, and contribute to shared design systems and libraries — raising the bar for the broader team.
- Incorporate insights from Alexa research, conduct secondary research, and co-lead user studies to validate decisions and reduce ambiguity.
- Collaborate with product managers, engineers, researchers, marketing, and business development to keep the customer at the center of every decision.
- Identify and document new patterns, best practices, and reusable components, thinking beyond your immediate project to scale impact.
A day in the life
You'll support products across their full lifecycle — from emerging concepts in their early stages to launching products heading to market — which means you'll design net-new concepts for Alexa devices and consumer hardware, dream up new ways to solve long-standing problems, and partner with product managers, engineers, and researchers to refine product offerings. One week you might run user research to test how customers interpret and respond to the experience you're designing, while another week you might build a working prototype for an agentic, multimodal experience across voice and visual interfaces. No matter what, you'll operate with ownership and autonomy throughout your day.
