Sr. UX Designer , AWS Security, Search, Observability & Governance

Amazon • Boston, MA

20d

About The Position

AWS Security, Search, Observability, and Governance (SSOG) is hiring a Senior UX
Designer to help shape the next generation of AI-native cloud experiences. This
role operates within our Experience Builder model, where designers own the full
lifecycle of customer outcomes—from problem framing to shipped production
experiences.
As a Senior UX Designer, you will work on critical build initiatives across the
SOGS portfolio spanning observability, search, security, and governance
experiences. These products help developers, SREs, and platform teams monitor
systems, investigate incidents, manage data and search workflows, and maintain
security and compliance across complex distributed environments.
You will help define the next generation of agentic and AI-assisted workflows,
where systems surface insights automatically, investigation paths are guided,
and user intent can trigger coordinated actions across services.
Beyond delivering high-impact product work, this role will help elevate design
craft and scalable interaction patterns across the portfolio. You will
contribute to reusable experience frameworks, agentic UX patterns, and design
system components that enable teams to move faster while maintaining a high bar
for usability and clarity.
The ideal candidate is comfortable operating as a builder—someone who can move
fluidly from research insights to prototype to production design while
collaborating deeply with engineers and AI systems.
This role is part of a broader transformation of the SOGS design organization
toward builder pods with end-to-end ownership of outcomes, enabling designers to
take ideas from concept to customer impact faster and with fewer dependencies.

Requirements

• 7+ years of design experience

Nice To Haves

• Have an online portfolio or samples of work on resume, demonstrating experience creating great end-to-end, user-centered design solutions and patterns, across desktop and mobile devices

Responsibilities

• Build critical product experiences across SOGS. Design and deliver high-impact customer experiences across Security, Search, Observability, and Governance services, including console and off-console surfaces such as APIs, AI agents, and developer tooling.
• Drive end-to-end experience ownership. Operate as a full-cycle experience builder—contributing to problem framing, defining success metrics, designing workflows, prototyping solutions, and partnering with engineering through production delivery.
• Design AI-native and agentic workflows. Define interaction patterns for AI-assisted systems including guided investigations, automated signal correlation, governance insights, and intent-driven system actions.
• Create cross-service operational workflows. Design experiences that connect signals and workflows across observability, security posture, governance controls, and search infrastructure to help teams move from detection → investigation → resolution faster.
• Elevate craft and interaction quality. Raise the bar for interaction design, usability, and visual craft across services by establishing reusable patterns, interaction models, and experience principles.
• Scale shared experience patterns. Partner to develop scalable UX patterns and components that support consistent workflows across console and off-console experiences.
• Accelerate design-to-build velocity. Use modern prototyping tools, AI-assisted design workflows, and rapid experimentation to shorten the cycle between idea and shipped experience.
• Partner deeply with engineering. Work closely with engineers to ensure designs are technically feasible, production-ready, and aligned with underlying system architecture.
• Simplify complex cloud systems. Translate complex distributed infrastructure, telemetry signals, and security insights into intuitive workflows that help users understand and act quickly.
• Influence product direction through design. Use customer insights, telemetry, and design thinking to identify opportunities that improve cross-service experiences and shape future product capabilities.
• Contribute to the design community. Mentor other designers, participate in design reviews, and help define patterns and practices that raise the bar across the organization.
