Design Technologist, Prime Video

Amazon•Culver City, CA

About The Position

Are you interested in shaping the future of entertainment? Do you want to define the next generation of how and what Amazon customers are watching? Prime Video is changing the way people watch movies and TV. From one service, we’re delivering versatile ways to watch hundreds of thousands of movies, TV series, and live events on the web, mobile, and TV. Our service is available in more than 200 territories globally, and we’re just getting started. Working closely with business and technology partners, we use research, design, and prototyping to guide early product development, bring clarity to engineering goals, and develop a customer-centric point of view. This is where you come in. As a Design Technologist, you'll be a key part of our Experience Design organization. Your role will be all about proving, advancing, and evolving forward-thinking UX concepts through prototyping and hands-on product work. You'll work alongside other design technologists to bring design ideas (interactions, visuals, motion) to life. As a Design Technologist at Prime Video, you’ll have the opportunity to wear many hats. We build prototypes across the Prime Video customer journey from helping customers discover their favorite content to designing new playback experiences including X-Ray, live sports, and advertising. Our team builds high-fidelity prototypes for TV, mobile and web clients using frontend technologies such as HTML/CSS/JS, React.js, Redux and Motion.js. Our team develops prototypes using AWS Bedrock to envision brand new Gen AI powered experiences for our customers. We’re scrappy yet detailed-oriented, knowing when to build quickly versus diving into the details to produce higher fidelity prototypes. We bring our own design vision and support our design and engineering partners to help them ship faster. We also partner closely with UX researchers to create new experiences that our customers get to test and provide feedback on. Our prototypes are demoed to senior leadership to showcase what the future of Prime Video will look and feel like for our customers.
