At Amazon Health Services were 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. Were 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 youll help define how AI-driven experiences look move and behave within the system ensuring they feel cohesive and trustworthy. Youll 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. Youll 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 youll spend focused time in Figma evolving a components visual states leveraging AI-assisted prototyping to test responsive behavior across the afternoon youll 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. Youll 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.
