Sr. UX Designer, AWS Applied AI Solutions

Role

Amazon Applied AI Solutions (Healthcare & Life Sciences) is hiring a Senior UX Designer to define strategy and design direction for AI-native product experiences that serve scientists, clinicians, and healthcare professionals. The role centers on designing, constraining, and validating AI agent behavior, prototyping complex scientific workflows, and ensuring AI-assisted experiences remain transparent, trustworthy, and grounded in human needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead cross-functional design initiatives with product managers, UX researchers, scientists, and engineers.
• Define AI agent personas and behavioral contracts (roles, responsibilities, boundaries, escalation behavior).
• Craft and validate long-term design strategies via customer research, prototyping, and proposals.
• Design for multiple user personas (bench scientists, computational biologists, clinicians) and for both happy-path and edge cases, including high-risk situations.
• Ensure AI agents provide guidance, literature-based reasoning, citations, and explainability rather than replacing professional judgment.
• Leverage and extend design systems (Trans Am; transitioning to RAD) and build domain-specific patterns and scientific visualizations.
• Accelerate delivery through vibe coding and AI-assisted prototyping tools to produce functional prototypes of complex workflows.
• Conduct ethnographic studies and user research with scientific and clinical users to capture workflows, collaboration patterns, and trust requirements.
• Partner with engineering and science teams to translate prototypes into production-ready specifications and maintain alignment.

Basic Qualifications

• 8+ years of design experience.
• Available online portfolio.
• Experience with design tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
• Experience prototyping with HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and Ajax.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience applying Scrum to visual or UX design processes.
• Experience with UX design of complex workflows.

Team & Context

• The team builds AI-assisted solutions for computational biologists, bench scientists, clinicians, and healthcare administrators, focusing on precision, trust, transparency, and regulatory rigor.
• Work emphasizes integrating agentic AI into scaled applications to democratize scientific workflows and accelerate the design-build-test-learn (DBTL) cycle in drug discovery.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary ranges provided by location (see Locations & Salary). Compensation package may include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs).
• Benefits include health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription), Basic Life & AD&D insurance, optional supplemental life plans, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), mental health support, medical advice line, flexible spending accounts, adoption and surrogacy reimbursement, 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
