The Amazon Gift Cards Design team is committed to revolutionizing the gifting experience through advanced technology and thoughtfully designed experiences that distinguishes us from the competition. We are seeking thoughtful, talented, and multi-faceted user experience designers who love empowering our customers with high-quality interaction and visual design and who are eager to bring their creative ideas and hard work to our team.

We are looking for a UX Designer to help us build the future of the Amazon Gift Card experience. The right candidate is at ease assisting in research, the creation of scenarios, sketches, story boards, wire-frames, and prototypes. You will assist the team in visualizing an experience in the abstract, gather relevant research data, break down complex use-cases, and ultimately help drive the vision into solid design deliverables. You think first from the customer’s perspective, set relentlessly high standards for yourself and deliver best-in-class design work. You thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment and embrace the idea that failure is a critical part of innovation. You balance your passion for inspired, compelling, elegant yet simple designs with a highly analytical nature, immaculately precise execution, and a relentless drive to learn, design, build and deliver.

This role is for a hands-on designer unafraid to take on the toughest challenges, scales their impact with proactive collaboration with other designers, and elevates the design quality of the entire team. You will develop strong relationships with fellow designers and partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Business counterparts throughout the organization to launch bar-raising experiences for customers around the world. You have a passion for solving our customers' problems, always putting their needs first.

Here’s the kind of person we are looking for:

• You thrive on working well with others. You make the people around you better. You love to collaborate with designers, user researchers, engineers, product managers, executives, and inspire them to do their best.
• You get stuff done.
• You continually focus on honing your craft.
• You’re a fantastic storyteller. You know that our products tell our customers a story through the user experience. You won’t rest until that story is a compelling one.
• You love rules and you know when to break them. You think systemically because you know that creating a coherent experience requires it. But you know when the system needs to expand to accommodate a user’s varied conceptual model. And you know when to do something completely unique to create an arresting and product-defining moment.
• You don’t already know everything and you love to learn. You’re inspired by helping users solve their problems. You love finding out you’re wrong. You consume large amounts of quantitative and qualitative data to constantly refine your assumptions.
• And finally, you want to be part of creating dramatic and impactful change on a team that is committed to becoming a beacon for others when it comes to user experience design. You learned your craft through a combination of formal training and on-the-job experience. If you have the experience and passion for doing this work at the highest level, we’d love to talk to talk to you and see a portfolio of the work you’re most proud of.
