Senior Front-end Engineer, GenAIUX

Amazon • East Palo Alto, CA

About The Position

Our team builds Generative AIUX products that transform the way customers
design. We are focused on the future of design driven development and
democratizing innovation for all builders. We deliver a shared platform across
multiple products, and we work on AI-powered tools that use Design Systems to
build interfaces, and accelerate design, development, and validation workflows.
The two products you will be working on are Venue and project Arena. Venue is an
AI powered internal prototyping tool that helps AWS builders create new features
using the AWS Cloudscape Design system. Arena is an external version of the tool
that helps scale this offering to all of Amazon and to external customers with a
focus on 0-1 rapid prototyping.

We are seeking a talented and passionate generative/agentic AI Front end
engineer to join our team and lead development of cutting-edge AIUX solutions.
AIUX is the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and User Experience. AIUX
focuses making sure the user experience is bar raising for a human and
simultaneously works well with agents. This includes designing for trust,
transparency (letting users know they are interacting with AI), and providing
control (allowing users to edit or undo AI actions). It enhances productivity,
automates repetitive tasks, and creates more engaging, intuitive, and efficient
user experiences.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members. Our team has a broad mix
of experience levels and Amazon tenures, and we’re building an environment that
celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. We care about your career growth.
We try to assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member
develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex
tasks in the future. We encourage participation in internal and external
conferences and training.

We’re looking for a new teammate who is creative, enthusiastic, empathetic,
curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team
of peers; someone who will help us amplify the positive and inclusive team
culture we’ve been building.
