Job Description
DESCRIPTION
Amazon Alexa is one of the world's most utilized and beloved assistants. At Alexa, we are focused on building the world's best personal assistant, leveraging the latest advancements in AI technologies. You will have the opportunity to impact the customer experience, design, and implementation of innovative products and features. We’re looking for people who are passionate about innovating on behalf of customers, demonstrate a high degree of ownership, and want to have fun and make history.
The Alexa Experiences & Services team is looking for a Senior User Experience Designer to work on Personality Experiences as well as other exciting Alexa projects. The Alexa Personality designer will support the Alexa Experiences and Services team to enhance the customer’s experience by anticipating their needs or current context — and meet those needs with information, suggestions, and/or actions in the most appropriate interaction modalities and CX across multiple product surfaces.
This Senior UX Designer will work on innovative Alexa features and revise existing features. You will create elegant, intuitive user interfaces that meet unique customer needs. You will work closely with other designers, researchers, product management, engineering, data science and operational teams to successfully go from early stage product concepts to iterations and launches of new features.
Key job responsibilities
You will be hands on, have a strong understanding of visual systems and best practices, including layout, color palette, typography, iconography and illustrations. You are at ease visualizing an experience in the abstract, building consensus, and then driving that vision into concise design deliverables. As a tastemaker and visual storyteller, you will advocate for design excellence and help create meaningful, emotional connection between customers and our products.
A day in the life
Each day, you will connect and collaborate with designers and researchers across the Alexa team. You’ll work directly with product managers to understand requirements, and develop design concepts that will be reviewed with leadership. You’ll also work with software teams to deliver detailed visual and interaction specifications. While the environment will be fast-paced, you’ll always be embedded in a supportive community of team members who are ready to provide feedback and support. Because we see an Amazonian's time as a scarce resource that must be respected, we'll help you defend your work/life balance and will actively support your professional growth.
About the team
Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

- 8+ years of design experience
- Have an available online portfolio
- Experience with design tools such as Figma and Adobe CC
