Key job responsibilities

• Create elegant and intuitive user experiences by incorporating user insights, business requirements, and technical constraints.
• Quickly and iteratively create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, high fidelity mockups with detailed visual design specifications for mobile, and web interfaces throughout the design process.
• Create UX solutions for problems with complexity. Work through ambiguity, and adapt your approach to meet the needs of multiple stakeholders.
• Be a champion for user-centered design by partnering with researchers to test your solutions in front of users; and be willing to build lightweight prototype, conduct scrappy and quick user testing on your own if required.
• Present design work to UX, Product, and Engineering teams, as well as stakeholders and executive leadership.
• Contribute to user experience design guidelines and development best practices and standards at Amazon Design Community.
