The Enterprise Engineering (EE) team builds the internal productivity tools and capabilities that power Amazon. Our products reach every part of the company, and are changing the employee experience around how work gets done in the AI era. Most of the interaction patterns we need haven't been invented yet. We need your craft, your builder instincts, and your fluency with AI to help define what comes next.
We are looking for a Senior UX Designer who will own product design end to end for AI-native tools used across Amazon. You'll work in spec-driven teams alongside engineers, PMs, AI specialists, researchers, and customers. You'll design for model capabilities that are changing in real time, prototype by building, and define how Amazonians (executives, engineers, non-technical staff) experience their daily tools. The visibility is high, the problem space is wide open, and design has a real seat at the table.
The right person for this role is already AI-native in how they work. AI is part of your design practice now, not something you're planning to pick up. You pay attention to where model capabilities are heading and design for what's coming, not just what's shipping today. You'd rather build a working prototype than present a deck. You do your best work when the problem is fuzzy, the patterns are uncharted, and the upside is enormous.
If you're looking for a role where you define new conventions rather than follow existing ones, where a small team punches well above its weight because AI makes that possible, and where your work shapes the daily experience of an entire company, we'd love to talk to you.
Key job responsibilities
- Own product design end to end, from the first prototype to what ships, for AI-native tools used across Amazon
- Invent interaction patterns that don't have a playbook yet: how people direct agents, trust them, correct them, and work alongside them
- Prototype in code (HTML/CSS/JS), AI-assisted dev tools, and whatever gets a real thing in front of real users fastest
- Build a new design system using AI, extracting tokens, components, and patterns from product work as it ships
- Set product direction alongside PMs, engineers, AI specialists, and customers. On a team this small, design has a real say in what gets built
- Present design work and influence product direction with stakeholders and leadership across the organization
- Ship it, watch people use it, change it. Repeat
About the team
We're a small design team that experiments with how design gets done, not just what it produces. We're actively reshaping our own process around agentic workflows, AI-assisted development, and a product lifecycle that looks nothing like the one most enterprise teams follow. The way we research, spec, prototype, test, and ship is itself a work in progress, and we treat it that way on purpose.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 7+ years of UX designer or interaction designer experience
- Have an online portfolio or samples of work on resume, demonstrating experience creating great end-to-end, user-centered design solutions and patterns, across desktop and mobile devices
- 1+ years of working with or evaluating AI systems experience
- Experience presenting to and effectively advising senior leaders outside of design
- Deep experience architecting design systems (tokens, components, patterns, documentation)
- Proficiency in code-based prototyping (HTML/CSS/JS) or AI-assisted development tools
- Technical understanding of LLMs and how they inform product design decisions
- Degree in Design, HCI, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Daily use of AI tools (coding assistants, generative design tools, LLMs) in your design workflow
- Experience using AI to accelerate design system creation (pattern extraction, component generation, documentation)
- Experience with enterprise or internal tools at scale (100K+ users)
- Familiarity with spec-driven development, prompt engineering, model evaluation, or human-AI interaction design
- Experience designing novel interaction patterns: multi-agent orchestration, trust and transparency patterns, AI reasoning interfaces, or agentic workflows
LOCATION
USA, WA, Seattle
COMPENSATION
The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location.
- Salary Range: $137,800.00 - $186,400.00 USD annually
Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave. Learn more about our benefits at https://amazon.jobs/en/benefits.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in UX Researcher
Frame your portfolio for specialty occupation
E-3 visa approval depends on your role meeting specialty occupation criteria. Structure your portfolio to show degree-level methodology, ethnographic research, statistical analysis, usability testing frameworks, not just deliverables. A portfolio that reads as generalist design work raises questions at the LCA stage.
Target employers with existing research functions
Companies that already employ dedicated UX Researchers understand the role's specialty occupation standing. Search DOL's OFLC disclosure data for employers who have filed LCAs under the 'Market Research Analysts' or 'User Experience Researchers' SOC codes to find proven sponsors.
Get your credential equivalency confirmed early
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 purposes, but your employer's immigration contact will want confirmation. Request a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator before your offer stage to avoid delays.
Negotiate who files the LCA before signing
The LCA must be filed with DOL and certified before you can apply at the consulate. Confirm during the offer stage whether your employer is handling this directly or using outside counsel, and whether they'll cover the filing costs. Ambiguity here routinely delays start dates by weeks.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the paperwork
Once you have a signed offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end. The service prepares your DS-160, supports your consulate appointment, and manages the certification timeline so your employer doesn't need to coordinate an immigration lawyer.
Prepare for nonimmigrant intent questions at your interview
Consular officers will probe your ties to Australia. Have specific, current ties ready, property, family, professional memberships, and be clear that your E-3 is tied to this employer's role. Vague answers about long-term plans are a common reason UX Researchers face additional administrative processing.
E-3 Visa UX Researcher: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find UX Researcher jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to search, it filters UX Researcher roles specifically by E-3 sponsorship eligibility, so you're not sifting through listings from employers unfamiliar with the visa. Beyond that, targeting companies that have previously filed LCAs under research-related SOC codes gives you a verified shortlist of employers who already understand what E-3 sponsorship involves.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a UX Researcher role actually qualify as a specialty occupation for E-3 purposes?
Yes, provided the position genuinely requires a degree in a specific field, human-computer interaction, cognitive psychology, information science, or a closely related discipline. The risk is roles where the job description says 'bachelor's degree in any field.' That phrasing can undermine specialty occupation standing. Review the job description carefully and push back if it's too broad before your employer files the LCA.
How does the E-3 visa compare to H-1B for UX Researchers?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, which means Australian UX Researchers can apply at any point in the year and receive a decision at the consulate within weeks. H-1B visa requires winning a random lottery in April, with work authorization starting no earlier than October 1. For researchers with a firm offer, the E-3 timeline is substantially more predictable and doesn't depend on luck.
Can I switch UX Researcher roles while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but the E-3 is employer-specific, so each new role requires a new LCA certified by DOL and a new visa stamp issued at an Australian consulate. You can't simply transfer your existing E-3 to a new employer. Start the LCA process as soon as you have a signed offer from the new employer, DOL's current LCA certification timeline runs approximately seven business days under normal conditions.
