Job description

Principal UX Designer, Prime Video Experience Design (PVXD)

Job ID: 3012517 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Are you interested in shaping the future of entertainment? Do you want to define the next generation of how and what Amazon customers are watching? Prime Video is changing the way people watch movies and TV. From one service, we’re delivering versatile ways to watch hundreds of thousands of movies, TV series, and live events on the web, mobile, and TV. Our service is available in more than 200 territories globally, and we’re just getting started. Come build the future of entertainment with us!

The Prime Video Experience Design is seeking a highly skilled, customer-obsessed Principal Designer to focus on product areas that include personalization, search, and content exploration features, particularly focusing on Generative AI, assistant and multi-turn experiences. We want someone who can push design and product thinking to the technical edge where vision may be unclear and product ideas risky, but opportunities to bring novel UX to ground-breaking technology exist.

This role is for a hands-on leader who establishes a vision and strategy across a major product or multiple product areas, scales their impact by empowering other designers on the team and is a key driver of long term design strategy. You will develop strong relationships with fellow Design Leaders and Product and Engineering counterparts throughout the product development process to launch bar-raising experiences for customers around the world. You will mentor more junior designers to raise the design craft across the organization.

The right candidate leads by doing and has a passion for solving problems at massive scale. You excel through innovation, creativity, and attention to detail. You are a proven strategic thinker and collaborator who flourishes in a large organization. You sincerely believe that design is more than how something looks, but also how it feels and functions. You enjoy turning customer insights into novel solutions.


Key job responsibilities
- Be a strong design advocate across the entire Prime Video team and a bar raiser for quality of work.
- Analyze customer problems and design delightful solutions that meet measurable business goals.
- Work closely with product and engineering teams to develop use cases and high-level requirements.

- Create user-centered designs by considering market analysis, customer feedback, site metrics, and usability findings.
- Develop and maintain detailed user-interface specifications.
- Present design work to the user experience team, product team, and project stakeholders for review and feedback.
- Partner with development teams to build experiences: provide appropriate design
specifications, create assets, and review finished interfaces.
