Senior UX Design Technologist

Ink is the Amazon Business design system that supports the unique needs of business customers and their procurement goals. Ink provides designers writers and engineers with reusable accessible components and patterns that enable high-quality cohesive and scalable experiences across Amazon Business. By leveraging Ink teams reduce delivery time and are better equipped to deliver consistent bar-raising customer experiences.

As Amazon Business accelerates its adoption of AI-assisted design and agentic workflows Ink is playing a critical strategic roleone that defines quality enables scale and operationalizes AI in a system-compliant customer-obsessed way. This role is foundational to that evolution.

ABOUT THIS ROLE
The Senior Design Technologist on the Ink Team sits at the intersection of design systems front-end architecture and AI-assisted tooling. This role is responsible for transforming AI-assisted design from a collection of experiments into a scalable supported system-integrated workflow across Amazon Business.

You will partner deeply with designers engineers and AI platform teams to ensure that emerging tools produce Ink-compliant accessible and production-ready outputs.

ABOUT YOU
Youll be equal parts inventor and catalystpushing the boundaries of whats possible while reimagining our design-to-development workflow to eliminate bottlenecks and accelerate innovation.

As a Senior UX Design Technologist you will...

Enable AI-Ready Design Systems
- Lead the re-architecture of Inks Figma libraries to make them AI-ready system-intelligent and compatible with agentic-assisted design workflows
- Ensure design libraries tokens and component structures can be reliably consumed by downstream AI tooling
- Define best practices for structuring design assets to support prompt-based and generative workflows

Bridge Design Engineering and AI Tooling
- Act as the connective tissue between design front-end engineering and AI platform teams
- Ensure AI-assisted design outputs are system-compliant accessible and feasible to implement in InkReact
- Partner with engineers to close the gap between generative design output and production-ready UI

Evaluate and Operationalize AI-Assisted Design Tools
- Lead Inks evaluation onboarding and integration of tools such as Figma Make and prompt-to-design workflows
- Define criteria for adoption guardrails for usage and system-level integration paths
- Move AI design enablement from reactive experimentation to intentional supported capability

Accelerate Adoption Without Compromising Quality
- Meet designers where they work by embedding design system guidance directly into design tooling and workflows
- Reduce friction to adoption while preventing long-term system debt
- Ensure AI-assisted design accelerates delivery without sacrificing accessibility consistency or customer trust
