Job description

Product Designer, Design Systems, Amazon Music

The Amazon Music Design Systems team builds the foundation every Amazon Music experience is made from: the Figma libraries, design tokens, icons, and components that product designers and engineers use across iOS, Android, and web. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a talented and passionate Product Designer to help build and evolve that foundation. Our ideal candidate cares about craft and consistency, enjoys making tools that other designers depend on, and wants to see their work show up in every surface of the Amazon Music app.

Key job responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain components in our Figma libraries, including variants, component properties, auto layout, and variables, structured so they translate cleanly into code.
• Keep the libraries healthy: publish updates, manage versioning and deprecation, and keep files organized and consistent.
• Produce component specifications and development-ready handoff, partnering with engineers through implementation and review.
• Design and expand our icon set on a consistent grid and keyline system, and produce logos, app icons, and illustrations that fit the visual language.
• Help define and document an illustration style and usage guidance.
• Write documentation and usage guidance that helps product designers and engineers use the system correctly.
• Partner with product designers to apply the system to real features, audit designs for system use, and identify gaps the system should fill.
• Review contribution requests from other designers and help decide what belongs in the system.
• Prototype with the system to test new components and patterns before they ship.
• Collaborate with other designers in designing and documenting our patterns, and maintaining our pattern library.
• Collaborate on and present work to a range of stakeholders – designers, engineers, product managers, and design leadership.

A day in the life

As a Product Designer on this team, you'll spend your time on the parts of design that everyone else builds on. One day you might draw a set of new icons and refine them until they sit naturally alongside hundreds of existing ones. Another, you might add a variant to a component, update its specification, and pair with an engineer to get it ready for development. You'll review a feature designer's file to see where the system helps them and where it gets in their way, and turn what you learn into improvements. You'll work with front-end engineers who build our libraries into code across multiple platforms, so the decisions you make in Figma reach customers. To be successful you must be detail-oriented, systems-minded, and collaborative, with strong craft in both components and iconography and an ability to communicate your ideas clearly. Being a big music fan is a plus.
