Each day, you will share notes and updates with like-minded design owners across the Alexa team. You’ll then work directly with product managers to understand requirements, and develop design concepts that will be reviewed with leadership. You’ll also work with dev teams to deliver detailed visual and interaction specifications. While the environment will be fast-paced, you’ll always be embedded in a community of designers and researchers who are ready to provide feedback and support.
