Senior Design Technologist, Amazon Payment Products

Job ID: 10471185 | Amazon.com Services LLC - A57

Do you want to build the design systems, AI‑powered automation, and creative tooling that shape how millions of customers experience Amazon's financial products?

Amazon Payment Products is seeking a Senior Design Technologist to own the technical intersection of visual design, design systems, and marketing automation across our portfolio—from Prime Visa and Amazon Store Card to rewards programs and installment partnerships.

At Amazon Payment Products, we manage a diverse portfolio of financial products serving tens of millions of customers worldwide. Our design and marketing teams work across campaigns, product experiences, and lifecycle touchpoints spanning email, homepage, push notifications, and partner channels—constantly pushing boundaries to create new products, new partnerships, and market‑leading features that simplify our customers' financial experiences. We collaborate daily with visual and UX designers, marketers, product managers, brand partners, and engineering teams in a fast‑paced, startup‑like environment.

Role Overview

As a Senior Design Technologist on this team, you will drive the intersection of design systems, GenAI‑powered marketing automation, and creative tooling. You will build the infrastructure that enables our marketing and design teams to produce high‑quality, on‑brand creative assets with greater speed and consistency—replacing manual production pipelines with scalable automation, embedding brand compliance directly into tooling so inconsistencies are caught automatically, creating Figma‑to‑code tooling that compresses development timelines, and governing how our design organization adopts AI tools.

You will serve as the technical bridge between our design organization, marketing teams, and engineering partners, turning ambiguous automation concepts into tangible experiences that teams can evaluate, test, and ship.

This role requires hands‑on technical execution and strategic leadership. You'll implement AI technologies, architect creative production infrastructure, build reusable prototyping frameworks, and develop reference implementations that raise the bar for how the team builds and delivers AI‑powered solutions.
