Job description

We're seeking an innovative Sr. UX Designer to join us in expanding Alexa's capabilities that help people lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. In this role, you'll work with a blend of visual and voice interfaces to help customers access the information and services they need to be at their best—transforming technology used at home and on the go into intuitive, personal experiences.

Key job responsibilities

In this role, you'll participate in the end-to-end design process for complex features and product. You'll develop early-stage concepts that help stakeholders and leaders deeply understand the customer experience while collaborating with engineers throughout the design process.

You'll routinely partner with designers across Alexa to both adopt and extend existing design systems. As you develop new patterns and uncover best practices, you'll contribute to Figma libraries and share what you've learned with your peers.

You will also be responsible for incorporating insights from relevant Alexa research, conducting hallway testing, and participating in user research to inform and validate your decisions.

Along the way, you'll partner with peer designers, product and tech owners, marketing, solutions architects, and business development to be sure the customer remains at the center of our decision‑making. This role will provide opportunities to expand your skills, practice growing your influence, and delivering best‑in‑class experiences for both businesses and our customers.

A day in the life

In this role, you'll design net‑new concepts that make life more enjoyable for our customers, dream up new ways of solving long‑standing problems, and partner with solutions architects, tech teams, and business development to refine our product offerings and secure new commitments from our business partners. One week you might run user research to test how customers interpret and respond to the experience you're designing while another week you might partner with a solutions architect to build a working prototype for a conversational experience. No matter what, you'll operate with enough autonomy to grow and challenge yourself while being supported by a collaborative design team.
