Come help us design experiences which help our customers visualize, organize and understand their AWS cloud resources. AWS Resource Management owns several AWS consoles providing a web based experience for customers to group and manage their resources. Our goal is to create an extraordinary experience allowing customers to model their AWS resources in a meaningful, personalized way. Our work makes AWS more approachable for customers and ensures the largest enterprises have services and features to manage their AWS resources at scale.
As a Senior User Experience (UX) designer on our team you will have a significant impact on our business as you lead the design direction for new features and services. You will work collaboratively with engineers, product managers, executives, and other designers in our organization and throughout our company to lead design throughout the strategy, design, and development life-cycle.
Our team has a customer-centric design process focused on understanding our customers, generating great ideas, validating those ideas with customers, working with engineering to implement, then listening to customers and iterating. We use both quantitative and qualitative data to inform our design decisions and optimize for our customers. You’ll have the opportunity to directly interact with and validate your designs with real customers. You’ll also work closely with other designers on our team to critique each other’s designs and push each other to learn and grow our skills.
