Job summary
The Shopping Design Tools team is on a mission to increase the pace of innovation across Amazon by empowering teams to design and implement features faster, enabling them to focus on their core product and deliver more value to our end customers. We are situated within the Shopping Design organization that powers the Amazon shopping experience across all devices and touch points. Our team consists of designers and technologists focused on the customer experience and front-end layer for tools and services that are geared toward designers, developers, and other builders. We work closely with an engineering team that helps builders design, write, test, debug, launch, and monitor their experiences quickly and easily across multiple platforms. Our growing portfolio includes simple and modern solutions for UX and technical documentation, intuitive UIs for debugging and monitoring, and tools that make it easy for builders to use our shopping design system.
As an experienced Front-End Engineer, you will collaborate with other FEEs and design technologists on the team to design and implement clean, scalable, and interactive features that go into our suite of tools. Since customers are internal, you will have a tighter feedback loop and more freedom in experimenting with modern frameworks and architectures. You'll interface with teams across a range of disciplines from UX and research to product and engineering. Surrounded by world-class talent, you will translate user requirements, drive new architectural thinking, help define our roadmap, and directly contribute code that transforms the way internal teams build new features.
Key job responsibilities
You will be part of a cross-functional team of designers, design technologists, developers, and researchers, responsible for creating solutions for common builder problems, and driving a cohesive tooling experience across the Amazon.com product portfolio. This requires high technical competency along with an eye for design. Job responsibilities include:
• actively participate in concept development and design ideation of tools as part of a cross-functional team
• rapidly build and iterate on functional prototypes that express design intent, illustrate key pieces of functionality, and inform product and feature decisions by answering questions about the design, usability, feasibility, and desirability of proposed solutions
• partner with engineering to ensure that interactive techniques and technologies translate through to final solutions
• be able to work creatively through and around perceived limitations and/or challenges imposed by the delivery platform to create delightful tooling experiences for builders
