Amazon Photos helps consumers preserve, share, and relive their memories. The service comes with unlimited photo storage for Prime members and apps are available on iOS, Android, Web, Desktop, and Fire TV. The service is also integrated into Alexa devices such as Echo Show. We have ambitious goals to scale growth and adoption of the service around the world and delight our customers with a great product.

We have been growing as a business and now we are growing as a team, looking to add a Senior UX Designer that will focus on designing, defining, and delivering beautiful, useful and customer-centered Photos experiences across Echo Show and Fire TV.

Who you are:

You love the creative process. You’re a photos-obsessed, systems-thinking Senior UX Designer who craves to craft engaging, elegantly usable experiences and interactions. You’re hungry to apply your superior user experience and information architecture skills, visual design flair, problem-solving abilities, and soft skill expertise. You balance your passion for inspired, compelling, elegant, simple designs with a highly analytical nature, precise execution, and a relentless drive to design, build and deliver end-to-end experiences.

Key job responsibilities
- Use business requirements, usability findings and market research to develop scenarios, use cases, and high-level requirements
- Create user-centered designs by considering market analysis, customer feedback, site metrics, and usability findings
- Design conceptual wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, information architecture diagrams, interaction specifications, and functional prototypes
- Develop and nurture relationships across teams and disciplines to promote collaboration and efficiency on Amazon projects
- Know your customer and delight them with your inventions
- Partner with your teammates in Product and Engineering, and collaborate on your ideas
- Use your unique maker abilities to express a vision for the best customer experience, one which builds on the strengths of your team mates' contributions
- Communicate your design decisions to your peers in Design, Product, and Engineering, as well as to the leadership team
- Work closely with your Product and Engineering partners to ensure that the design vision is being honored as the timeline progresses and context evolves (new customer insights, tech limits, priority changes) until it launches
- Follow up on your live designs with testing and iteration
- Have fun! Design is a dream job and you should be doing your very best, most rewarding work

A day in the life
Ideally, you will be engaged in designing for the customer whenever possible.

If you are in meetings, they should be with people who can help you make decisions about your design. Otherwise, you are encouraged to decline.

Day-to-day, you will likely have ongoing in-person and virtual conversations happening with a group of designers, product managers, and engineers who might need your opinion or ideas, and vice versa.

About the team
We are all grown-ups, respected equally. We build our relationships with each other on thoughtful, honest feedback. If someone is struggling, help them by providing respectful, timely feedback.

Nobody will have the same depth of knowledge, experience and domain expertise you have for your current work. As the owner of the experience, you will have a leader who clears a path for you, and a team of peers to rely on for dialog and support.

The Design team meets weekly to share our work with one another, share good news, and laugh a little. Sometimes a lot.
