We're looking for a Senior Visual UX Designer who is customer-obsessed and eager to invent on behalf of customers across Alexa's growing ecosystem. In this role, you'll design experiences that span visual and voice interfaces, helping customers access the information and services they need to live healthier, more fulfilling lives. You'll transform interactions at home and on the go into intuitive, personal experiences that feel effortless and delightful.
This is a high-ownership role where you'll operate with autonomy, bias for action, and a builder's mindset, shaping early-stage products that push the boundaries of what ambient, multimodal AI can do for people every day.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end design for complex features and products, from early-stage concepts that build stakeholder conviction, through to production-ready execution alongside engineering.
- Deliver production-level, highly polished 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 Figma libraries - raising the bar for the broader team.
- Incorporate insights from Alexa research, conduct hallway testing, and run user research to validate decisions and reduce ambiguity.
- Collaborate with product managers, engineers, solutions architects, 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 a product still in its early stages, which means you'll design net-new concepts, dream up new ways to solve long-standing problems, and partner with solutions architects and tech teams 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 partner with a solutions architect to build a working prototype for a conversational experience. No matter what, you'll operate with ownership and autonomy throughout your day.
