DESCRIPTION

As a Sr. UX Designer you will craft simple, fluid, and beautiful experiences that help customers discover and purchase the best Deals & Promotions across Amazon.

You are obsessed about customer experience; you never settle for good enough, and continually inspire those around you to do better for the customer. You love to dive into unknown territory and invent simple, elegant solutions to complex challenges.
