Job summary

Amazon is seeking a Senior UX Designer to shape the Kiro experience, focusing on Kiro Crew and Mobile. You will lead hands-on design work, conduct audience research, and frame early-stage concepts while shipping real improvements that guide product direction across IDE, CLI, Web, and Mobile surfaces.

You will collaborate with product and engineering teams, mentor designers, and help establish scalable design patterns.

Qualifications

7+ years of design experience.
A portfolio showing deep audience understanding and early-stage design thinking: concept models, ecosystem maps, user stories, experience frameworks, and how you translate research into design strategy, not just polished final UI.
Experience designing complex, multi-step workflows across multiple platforms or surfaces, with strong information architecture and interaction design skills.
Experience designing for products where AI acts with meaningful autonomy, not just chatbot UI, but systems that plan, execute, and verify work on behalf of users.
Proficiency with multiple prototyping tools and methods, with the judgment to choose the right fidelity and approach for the situation.

Responsibilities

Go deep on audience understanding: conduct and synthesize research to build rich mental models of how developers think, work, and adopt agentic tools.
Lead concept design and early-stage framing: ecosystem maps, concept models, user stories, journey frameworks, and experience principles that set the foundation for product direction.
Own and drive the end-to-end design process for major features across the Kiro platform (IDE, CLI, Web, Mobile, and Kiro Crew).
Shape the UX of agentic workflows including spec-driven development, autonomous mode, parallel agents, hooks, and correctness verification.
Iterate rapidly and prototype at the right fidelity, from paper sketches and concept storyboards to high-fidelity interactive prototypes, choosing the right tools and methods for each challenge.
Design cohesive experiences across desktop, terminal, browser, mobile, and open-source surfaces while respecting the unique interaction paradigms of each.
Partner with product management and engineering to influence strategy through strong design rationale and customer advocacy.
Mentor junior designers and define scalable design patterns that raise the bar across the team.
