Key job responsibilities

You are customer-obsessed, detail-oriented, comfortable working on highly technical teams and are skilled in using data and creating insights to make decisions. You can translate business requirements into bar raising customer experiences. Some of the key responsibilities include:
- Define, ideate, build, and launch tools and products that allow the customer experience strategy teams to gain new customer experience and product insights across marquee businesses like Alexa, Video, Music, Retail, Seller, etc.
- Participate in the strategic planning process for developing new features and products and help develop artifacts for our product go-to-market strategy.
- Own an end-to-end feature development prototyping and design process and deliverables.
- Develop wire frames, and interactive prototypes, and create user experience solutions for problems of large scope and complexity.
- Be a champion for user-centered design by partnering with researchers to test your solutions in front of users; and be willing to build lightweight prototype, conduct scrappy and quick user testing with limited guidance.
- Lead internal sessions, customer reviews, and usability events to gather feedback and data on design effectiveness.
- Play a key role in influencing software products and features with a focus on proposing user experience solutions that others haven’t thought of, and refining solutions to ensure that they are meeting customer’s needs.
- Solve difficult user experience problems and use a wide range of technologies and front-end programming languages (e.g., React).
- Understand how technical decisions influence user experience decisions and vice versa, and can act as a bridge between technical (e.g., Software Development Engineers, Front End Engineers, Technical Program Managers, etc.) and non-technical (e.g. Product Manager, etc.) partners.
- Work is consistently of a high quality (e.g., functional, performant, low-defects, etc.), delivered at the right level of fidelity, and incorporates engineering and user experience best practices.
- Make improvements to a team’s operational, development and prototyping processes.
