Job summary

Amazon’s AWS design organization in Seattle seeks a Senior Design Technologist to craft high-fidelity prototypes in real code and push front-end craftsmanship. You’ll partner with designers to translate ambiguous concepts into working systems and extend DesignBrain with reusable, evidence-backed guidance.

You’ll contribute to an environment where design and engineering move in lockstep, building patterns and components that accelerate learning and product iteration.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of frontend technologist, engineer, or UX prototyper experience.
• Have coding samples in frontend programming languages.
• Have an available online portfolio.
• Experience developing visually polished, engaging, and highly fluid UX prototypes.
• Experience collaborating with UX, Product, and technical partners.
• Knowledge of databases and AWS database services: Elasticsearch, Redshift, DynamoDB.
• Experience with machine learning (ML) tools and methods.

Responsibilities

• Build high-fidelity, interactive prototypes in real code — experiences that behave like the product, not clickable facades.
• Partner with designers to turn ambiguous design ambition into working systems, closing the gap between design intent and frontend implementation.
• Extend DesignBrain so that what the team proves in Delight Lab becomes reusable, evidence-cited intelligence.
• Raise the quality and velocity of the frontend experience layer: build components, design-system primitives, and tooling.
• Prototype net-new interaction patterns for agentic and AI-native surfaces, where the established pattern language doesn’t yet exist.
• Collaborate daily with design, product, and engineering — translating between disciplines and making technical feasibility a first-class input to design decisions.
• Instrument prototypes so the team learns from real usage, and feed those findings back into the flywheel.
• Raise the bar for engineering craft across the team through code review, reusable patterns, and mentorship.
