Design Technologist, Prime Video

Job :  |  Services LLC

Are you interested in shaping the future of entertainment? Do you want to define the next generation of how and what Amazon customers are watching? Prime Video is changing the way people watch movies and TV. From one service, we’re delivering versatile ways to watch hundreds of thousands of movies, TV series, and live events on the web, mobile, and TV.

Our service is available in more than 200 territories globally, and we’re just getting started.

Working closely with business and technology partners, we use research, design, and prototyping to guide early product development, bring clarity to engineering goals, and develop a customer‑centric point of view. This is where you come in.

• Build high‑quality, functional prototypes that convey and advance the vision of future products.
• Collaborate with design leadership and key stakeholders throughout the product lifecycle.
• Work alongside designers, researchers, PMs, and engineers to drive concepts from idea to implementation.
• Advance design thinking by leveraging your platform expertise (e.g., web, mobile, TV).

As a Design Technologist at Prime Video, you’ll wear many hats. You’ll build prototypes across the Prime Video customer journey—from helping customers discover their favorite content to designing new playback experiences, including X‑Ray, live sports, and advertising. Our team creates high‑fidelity prototypes for TV, mobile and web clients using frontend technologies such as HTML/CSS/JS, React.js, Redux and Motion.js, and leverages AWS Bedrock to envision brand‑new Gen‑AI powered experiences for our customers.

We’re scrappy yet detail‑oriented, knowing when to build quickly versus diving into details to produce higher‑fidelity prototypes. We bring our own design vision and support our design and engineering partners to help them ship faster. We partner closely with UX researchers to create new experiences that our customers can test and provide feedback on. Our prototypes are demoed to senior leadership to showcase what the future of Prime Video will look and feel like for our customers.

• 1+ year of front‑end technologist, engineer, or UX prototyper experience.
• Available online portfolio.
• Coding samples in front‑end programming languages.
• Experience with web, mobile web, or mobile app front‑end development.

• Knowledge of API frameworks.
• Knowledge of technologies such as JavaScript/Node.js, HTML/CSS, responsive/adaptive design.

• Experience with AWS services including EC2, Lambda, S3, Dynamo
