Sr. UX Designer, AWS Applied AI Solutions

Role

Join Amazon’s Applied AI Solutions Healthcare & Life Sciences team as a Senior UX Designer to lead strategy and design for AI-native experiences that serve scientists, clinicians, and healthcare professionals. You will focus on designing, constraining, and validating AI agent behavior as a core UX artifact while ensuring transparency, trust, and regulatory awareness in scientific and clinical contexts.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead design initiatives defining AI agent personas, behavioral contracts, boundaries, and escalation behavior.
• Craft and validate long-term design strategies via customer research, prototyping, and proposal documentation.
• Design for multiple personas across technical expertise levels, addressing happy paths, edge cases, and high-risk scenarios.
• Ensure AI-assisted experiences cite sources, explain reasoning, and support professional judgment rather than replace it.
• Leverage and extend existing design systems (Trans Am, transitioning to RAD) and create domain-specific patterns and scientific visualizations.
• Accelerate delivery through vibe coding and AI-assisted prototyping to produce functional prototypes of complex scientific workflows.
• Conduct ethnographic studies and user research with scientists and clinicians to understand workflows, collaboration patterns, and trust requirements.
• Partner with engineering and science teams to translate prototypes into production-ready specifications and maintain alignment through documentation and regular syncs.

Day-to-day

• Prototype complex scientific workflows and iterate based on research and stakeholder feedback.
• Define and document AI agent responsibilities, confidence thresholds, citation needs, and escalation paths.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, UX researchers, engineers, and scientists to drive design decisions and execution.
