DESCRIPTION
At Amazon we put our customers first in everything we do – including our advertising programs. We’re building solutions that enable brands to connect with their customers, globally and at scale, where they shop, read, watch videos, and share online. The Advertiser User Experience (AUX) team excels at distilling the needs of a diverse user base into experiences that balance efficiency with robust utility. We’re looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers; someone who will help us amplify the positive & inclusive team culture we’ve been building.
The Storm Design System team within AUX defines the UX foundations, guidelines and owns the design system that enables teams across Amazon Advertising to design on-brand advertiser experiences efficiently and at scale. We’re looking for a Sr. Design Technologist (DT) to define and deliver tooling solutions for our design system to support designers and developers worldwide. This individual will help build AI-based ecosystems to rapidly accelerate builders’ access to high-quality prototypes, user-centered writing guidelines and research agents to pair product design with customer feedback. This person will create and maintain new web/native-based applications, create services, and launch plugins for design applications (e.g., Figma). These solutions will require connections to 1P and 3P APIs/endpoints, documentation and presentation to help streamline workflow and transitions between designer and developer teams. Key goals of this role include: 1) unlock critical UX resources, democratizing and making them accessible for utilization in all stages of the product development lifecycle; and 2) automate inefficiencies across teams by staying close to customer needs.
You'll have space to experiment with emerging technologies and workflows, with the expectation that experiments lead to shipped solutions that measurably improve how teams work.
As a Sr. DT in AUX, you will be part of a cross-functional team of designers, technologists, researchers, front-end engineers and program managers. You will be responsible for creating solutions that drive scale across design teams using the Storm design system.
Key job responsibilities
Actively participate in concept development and design ideation as part of a cross-functional team.
Rapidly build and iterate on functional prototypes that express design intent, using the best and most appropriate tools and techniques for the task.
Bring strong UX intuition — interpret design intent, identify usability issues, and ensure design quality carries through from concept to working code.
Partner with engineering to ensure that interactive techniques and technologies translate through to scalable tools and services.
Partner with design and research to create realistic prototypes to test with end customers
Be able to work creatively through and around perceived limitations and/or challenges imposed by the delivery platform to create delightful experiences for customers.
Lead large, wide impact DT projects. Examples could include a specific tool or service that supports many disparate areas of the site or product line.
Lead others and set direction in the face of ambiguity
Evaluate and document any new creative and/or engineering standards or patterns that could arise from your work
Effectively present work to all levels of leadership

Tips for Your Design Technologist Job Search
Lead your resume with proof
Design technologist roles sit at the intersection of design and engineering, so your resume needs to show both. List specific tools, frameworks, and components you've shipped, not just the teams you supported or the products you touched.
Build a portfolio that runs
Hiring managers for this role want interactive demos, not static screenshots. Host working prototypes or design system components alongside case studies so reviewers can interact with your work rather than imagine what it does.
Target postings by team structure
Some companies embed design technologists inside product squads, others inside a central design systems team. Read each job description carefully to identify which model it is, then tailor your cover letter to reflect that team's output and goals.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists design technologist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a whiteboard coding exercise
Many design technologist interviews include a live coding or prototyping challenge alongside the design critique. Practice building a simple interactive component from a brief in under 30 minutes using the framework most common in your target industry.
Negotiate scope before salary
Design technologist titles vary widely in responsibility, from pure prototyping to owning a design system. Before discussing compensation, clarify whether the role owns production code, so you're negotiating from an accurate picture of the job's actual scope and impact.
Design Technologist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most design technologists?
The companies hiring the most design technologists right now include Amazon, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Verizon, with the largest share of openings in New Mexico, California, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially concentrated at large technology companies and automotive manufacturers investing in digital product experiences.
How many design technologist jobs are remote?
About 44% of design technologist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the role's natural fit with distributed product teams. Sub-areas focused on design systems documentation and front-end prototyping tend to be the most remote-friendly, while roles tied to physical product labs or hardware teams more often require on-site presence.
How do you become a design technologist?
Start by building fluency in both design tools and front-end code, since the role requires you to work credibly on both sides of the product team. Develop a portfolio of interactive prototypes or design system components you've built from scratch. Seek out projects where you act as the bridge between designers and engineers, then document that collaboration explicitly in your case studies.
Can you get hired as a design technologist without much experience?
Yes, entry-level design technologist roles exist, particularly at companies building out new design system practices who need someone to do hands-on component work. The strongest candidates with limited experience publish open-source design system contributions or interactive side projects that demonstrate they can operate in both Figma and code without being supervised at every step.
What does the design technologist interview process look like?
Most processes include a portfolio review where you walk through a prototype or component you built and explain your technical and design decisions. A take-home or live coding challenge is common, often asking you to build a small interactive element from a prompt. Final rounds typically include a cross-functional panel with designers, engineers, and a product manager to assess how you communicate across disciplines.
Where can I find and apply to design technologist jobs?
You can find and apply to design technologist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from companies across the United States. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your skills and seniority level, and apply directly to each listing without leaving the platform.
