Sr. UX Designer, AWS Security, Search, Observability & Governance

Were looking for a designer to join the AWS Security portfolio (GuardDuty Security Hub Inspector and related services) and help define what security experiences look like in an agentic-first world. Youll be embedded full-time in a builder pod alongside engineers working on problems that span threat detection investigation posture management and remediation across AWS and multi-cloud environments.
This isnt a role where you hand off Figma files and wait. Youll prototype in code ship alongside engineers and iterate directly with security practitioners who operate under real pressure. If youre energized by complex high-stakes domains and want to shape how millions of customers stay secure this is the role.

Key job responsibilities
- Design end-to-end experiences for security workflows from alert triage to investigation to remediation across console IDE and agentic interfaces
- Define interaction models for agentic security capabilities: when the agent acts autonomously when it surfaces recommendations and how practitioners stay in control
- Work embedded in a builder pod (engineering PM science) with 100% allocation to your product area no context-switching across unrelated projects
- Prototype in code (React/TypeScript) alongside engineers not just in design tools
- Design for the full portfolio arc stitching detection posture investigation response into a coherent multi-cloud experience
- Conduct and synthesize research with security practitioners (SOC analysts security engineers CISOs) to ground design decisions in real workflows
- Contribute to front-end engineering when it accelerates shipping

A day in the life
You start the morning reviewing a GuardDuty finding that came in overnight a customers EC2 instance communicating with a known C2 server. Your pod is building an agentic workflow that auto-triages findings like this and youre designing the moment where the agent recommends isolating the instance and asks the analyst to confirm. You sketch two interaction variants in Figma then jump into the React prototype to wire up the confirmation flow against real sample data. By lunch youre in a design review with your pods engineers debating whether the agent should surface CloudTrail context inline or link out you pull up research from a SOC analyst interview last week to settle the afternoon you pair with a front-end engineer to polish the investigation timeline component that stitches GuardDuty findings with Security Hub posture data. You push a PR. Before end of day you join a 30-minute session with a customers security team to watch them walk through their current incident response workflow the gaps they describe will shape next sprints design direction.
