About this role

Principal UX Designer, AWS Security, Search, Observability & Governance Santa Clara, California, USA We are looking for a Principal UX Designer to define and own the end-to-end design strategy for AWS's security, observability, and agentic AI product portfolio. This is a high-impact IC role with significant organizational influence. You will partner directly with VP-level Product and Engineering leaders to shape products used by millions of security practitioners worldwide.

Architect and govern a unified design system across the security portfolio, ensuring consistency, accessibility, and scalability for high-density data interfaces 3. Lead the design of agentic AI interfaces - including intent-driven system actions, guided investigations, and human-in-the-loop approval workflows for automated security operations 4. Drive "design-as-code" practices: build production-quality prototypes using modern stacks (React, TypeScript) to collapse design-engineering feedback loops 5. Establish UX quality benchmarks and lead critique sessions across the organization, elevating design maturity and craft standards globally 6. Mentor and develop a team of senior designers, providing technical guidance and career development 7. Represent Design in executive reviews (VP, SVP) with data-driven recommendations and clear strategic narratives 8. Navigate complex stakeholder
