About The Position

The Devices & Services Experience Design (DxD) team leads user experience and
industrial design innovation across Amazon's device portfolio, including Echo,
Fire TV, Fire Tablets, Alexa.com, and related mobile apps. Our team works at the
intersection of design, product and engineering, creating meaningful hardware
and software experiences that enhance customer lives. We believe in storytelling
and thinking holistically to craft the "why" behind everything we ship.

We're seeking a versatile Sr. Product Designer who is passionate about building
incredible product experiences for the Echo Family of Devices and customers
across the Amazon devices and services portfolio.

Our team is composed of multi-disciplinary designers who blend boundaries across
UX design, visual, motion, prototyping and industrial design. We innovate end to
end on product concepts starting from ideation of scenarios, to refined visual
and conversational prototypes, to working with partner teams to execute and
integrate seamlessly with devices.

We are makers at heart— transforming early concepts into high-fidelity,
interactive experiences that leverage device capabilities across vision systems,
audio, touch, gesture and natural modes of interaction.

Storytelling is integrated into daily work of the design team - communicating
strategy to diverse stakeholders, helping others see future possibilities today.

We create clarity from ambiguity, solving problems and when there are multiple
considerations and tradeoffs to consider.

You will be participating in a deeply collaborative team, partnering with
cross-functional groups across design disciplines, research, developers and
product managers. Your hands-on approach builds trust and elevates the work of
those around you.

Every day we push boundaries to turn ideas into tangible experiences that
inspire partners, leaders and customers.

The Echo Experience Design team is within Amazon's Devices Experience Design
group (DxD). We are responsible for crafting the experiences for the Echo family
of devices from products in the hands of customers today to future experiences
of tomorrow — exploring how natural device interactions can enrich customers'
daily lives and bring Alexa to life at home and on the go. We create innovative
new experiences for customers through a cross-disciplinary approach to design,
dissolving boundaries across disciplines and navigating all phases of the
innovation design lifecycle from discovery through refinement.
