In this role, you will be responsible for evolving and maintaining our design system, ensuring visual consistency across all customer-facing and dealer-facing touchpoints, and raising the bar on craft and quality. You will partner closely with product, engineering, research, UX and content teams to deliver polished, scalable design solutions that delight customers and drive business outcomes. You will bring an AI-forward mindset to how the system is built, documented, and governed: using AI tools to accelerate component development, improve documentation quality, and explore how generative and agentic capabilities can make the design system smarter over time. Key job responsibilities Design System Stewardship: Own and evolve the Amazon Autos design system—defining, documenting, and maintaining reusable components, patterns, tokens, and guidelines that scale across web and mobile experiences. Leverage AI-powered tools to suggest, audit, and optimize design token structures across themes and platforms.

AI-Native UI Patterns: Design system components specifically for AI-powered experiences and natural language-to-UI interfaces where users or internal teams can describe a UI and have it generated from system components. Component Design & Documentation: Design, spec, and document new components and patterns; partner with engineering to ensure accurate implementation and accessibility compliance. Integrate AI tools to generate and maintain component documentation, usage guidelines, and changelogs to keep the system current at scale. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineers, UX designers, researchers, product managers, and content designers to translate business and customer needs into elegant, systematic design solutions. Consistency, Quality & Governance: Audit existing experiences for visual and interaction inconsistencies; propose and drive improvements that elevate the overall product quality. Establish rules between AI-generated layouts and human-validated reviews to secure brand alignment, ensuring design system governance keeps pace with AI-accelerated workflows. Contribution to Broader Design Culture: Share best practices, conduct design reviews, and mentor peers on systems thinking and visual craft. Contribute to team rituals, critiques, and knowledge sharing. Prototyping & Storytelling: Create interactive prototypes and compelling design narratives to communicate ideas, gain alignment, and validate concepts with stakeholders and customers. Utilize prompt-driven prototyping and generative AI to rapidly explore design directions within system constraints.
