Design Systems Designer, Health

Job :  |  Services LLC

At Amazon Health Services, we're building a unified design system that powers consistent, high-quality experiences across our clinical and consumer products — including a growing suite of AI-powered interfaces. We're looking for a Design Systems Designer who brings strong visual design craft, systems thinking, and curiosity about AI-forward design to help scale our component library, define visual patterns, and build the infrastructure that enables dozens of product designers to move faster with higher fidelity.

• Design and maintain scalable UI components, patterns, and guidelines within the AHS design system
• Define and evolve visual tokens (color, typography, spacing, elevation, motion) that ensure consistency across products
• Audit product surfaces for system adherence and identify opportunities for new or improved patterns
• Create detailed component specs including states, responsive behavior, accessibility requirements, and usage guidance
• Define and document design patterns for AI-driven experiences (generative UI, conversational interfaces, AI-assisted workflows) within the system
• Collaborate with front-end engineers to ensure coded components match design intent
• Identify and implement AI-powered workflows that accelerate design systems operations — variant generation, automated specs, documentation, and design-to-code handoff
• Contribute to design system documentation, making it easy for other designers to adopt and contribute
• Participate in design critiques and system reviews, providing feedback grounded in systematic thinking

As a Design Systems Designer at AHS, you might start your morning using AI tooling to generate component variant explorations that would have taken hours manually — then refining the best options with your craft eye. After standup with the systems team, you'll spend focused time in Figma evolving a component's visual states, leveraging AI-assisted prototyping to test responsive behavior across breakpoints.

In the afternoon you'll partner with an engineer to review a coded implementation against your spec — possibly using a design-to-code pipeline to bridge the gap — then collaborate with design and tech teams to define patterns for a new UI surface. You'll contribute to automated documentation workflows and end the day exploring visual directions for an upcoming token update — balancing craft with systematic rigor and a bias toward experimentation.

You’ll join the AHS Design Systems team within the Amazon Health Services organization — a small, focused group building the foundational layer that enables all of our product designers to do their best work. We're actively integrating AI into our own workflows — from component generation to documentation to code handoff — and we want people who are excited to push that forward.

You’ll work alongside teammates in Seattle, San Francisco, and Boston, partnering closely with product designers, front-end engineers, and accessibility specialists. We value craft, experimentation, and supporting each other's growth.
