About the role

As a Design Technologist at Prime Video, you’ll shape the future of entertainment by defining the next generation of how and what Amazon customers watch.

Your role will focus on proving, advancing, and evolving forward-thinking UX concepts through prototyping and hands-on product work. You’ll collaborate with design leadership, designers, researchers, product managers, and engineers to bring design ideas—interactions, visuals, and motion—to life across the Prime Video customer journey.

• Create prototypes using AWS Bedrock to envision new Gen AI-powered experiences for customers.
• Support UX researchers in testing new experiences with customers and incorporate feedback.
• Demo prototypes to senior leadership to showcase the future of Prime Video.
