Sr. UX Designer
- Palo Alto, CA
DESCRIPTION
Amazon is focused on protecting the health and safety of our employees while continuing to serve people who need our services more than ever. Regular testing on a global scale across all industries would both help keep people safe and help get the economy back up and running. But for this to work, we as a society would need vastly more testing capacity. Until we have an effective vaccine available, high-volume testing capacity would help, but getting that done will take collective action by NGOs, companies, and governments.
For our part, Amazon has begun the work of building incremental testing capacity.
As a Senior UX Designer for our team, you will lead design of operational processes and applications for testing experiences. You should be a self-starter who thrives on ambiguity and is comfortable diversifying. You should create highly-functional, globally-durable user experiences that demonstrate a passion for relentlessly optimizing processes. Your recommendations should increase productivity and safety. Collaboration should be critical to your process. Your work should be informed by customers, partners, research, metrics, and high judgement.
Key Responsibilities and Requirements:
• Lead design for operations and services related to COVID-19 testing.
