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.

This is an opportunity to shape the foundational design language for AHS — working on components, tokens, interaction patterns, motion standards, AI interaction patterns, and accessibility guidelines that directly impact every product surface our customers touch. As AI capabilities expand across our products, you'll help define how AI-driven experiences look, move, and behave within the system — ensuring they feel cohesive and trustworthy. You'll also bring AI into the design systems workflow itself: leveraging AI tools to accelerate component creation, automate documentation, explore variant generation, and streamline design-to-code handoff. You'll partner with designers, engineers, and AI/ML teams to ensure what we build is beautiful, usable, and scalable.

Key job responsibilities
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

A day in the life
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.

About the team
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.

Basic qualifications

- 3+ years of design experience
- Have an available online portfolio
- Experience working in a collaborative team environment to deliver high-quality design solutions
- Portfolio demonstrating strong visual design skills and systematic design thinking — showing how individual components connect to a larger system
- Experience building and maintaining design systems, pattern libraries, or component libraries
- Understanding of how design decisions translate to code
- Strong eye for typography, color, spacing, and visual hierarchy
- Active use of or strong curiosity about AI tools to accelerate design systems work — component generation, variant exploration, automated documentation, design-to-code pipelines

Preferred qualifications

- Knowledge of mobile and web design patterns and accessibility standards
- Experience with motion design
- Experience building or contributing to a production design system used by multiple product teams
- Experience designing patterns for AI/ML interfaces — generative UI, conversational experiences, or AI-assisted workflows
- Familiarity with AI tooling for design workflows (generative AI for exploration, prototyping automation, design-to-code pipelines)
