Work iteratively and collaboratively with a cross-disciplinary team (product owners, developers, researchers), using lean and agile methodologies to explore, test, and implement designs.
Propose ideas and build new features that give customers the confidence to purchase products and services from Amazon.
Create sketches, flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high fidelity mockups as needed to effectively conceptualize and communicate detailed experiences.

Optimize the effectiveness of new and existing features by proactively planning, performing, and advocating validation techniques like usability testing, user research, and interpreting analytic data.
Present design work for review and feedback to UX peers, product, & engineering teams.
Contribute to a thriving design culture.
