• Own design for consequential and ambiguous customer problems spanning developer experiences and interaction models
• Define the future of AI developer experiences, covering how builders create, evaluate, deploy, govern, and operate generative AI applications and agents on AWS
• Go beyond UI by shaping technology with deep involvement in architecture, APIs, data models, and developer workflows
• Bring clarity to unclear problem spaces using customer insight, systems thinking, product judgment, and prototyping
• Set a high design quality bar through hands‑on craft: continue designing and shipping, explore alternatives and tradeoffs, prototype rapidly, validate ideas with customers, and drive execution from concept to detailed delivery
• Create coherence across the portfolio by identifying where customers experience fragmentation across AWS AI Services and establishing shared interaction models, frameworks, and reusable patterns
• Partner across organizational boundaries by building trusted relationships with senior leaders across Product, Engineering, Science, and UX
• Bring customer evidence and design thinking into strategic decisions and help align teams with different technical constraints, priorities, or viewpoints

• Experience collaborating cross‑functionally with Marketing, Product Management, Customer Service, Operations, Legal, Finance, and Senior Leadership
• Experience providing training and mentorship
• 3+ years designing and shipping developer-facing AI/ML products, including understanding the end‑to‑end agent development lifecycle: model hosting, deployment, observability, and evaluation
• Design across APIs, SDKs, CLIs, and console experiences, with technical depth to understand developer workflows and influence underlying interfaces and abstractions
• Ability to design in code‑based prototypes and work comfortably with code

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience providing and effectively communicating strategic and tactical recommendations based on data
• Experience designing and prototyping with tools such as Sketch, Photoshop, Illustrator, Axure, Keynote, and InVision
• Experience designing products for AWS or another major cloud platform, with an understanding of enterprise cloud customer needs
