Job Description

Help shape how customers trust and control agentic security experiences across AWS.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end design for agentic security surfaces across AWS Continuum, AWS Security Hub, and related products, from problem framing and research through interaction design, visual craft, and launch
  • Define how trust is earned in the interface, including:
    • How customers grant autonomy
    • How customers observe an agent’s actions and reasoning
    • How customers verify outcomes
    • How customers intervene when needed
  • Set the design vision and develop a pattern language for autonomy in security in a space where patterns do not yet exist
  • Bring partners along using sharp narratives and prototypes
  • Partner daily with product, engineering, and science to balance customer needs, technical constraints, and safety and verification requirements for agentic systems
  • Design for runtime verification where agents may act faster and more opaquely than a human can follow, ensuring customers remain informed, in control, and able to trust what occurred
  • Make decisions grounded in evidence by synthesizing qualitative and quantitative signals, running research, and validating with real security practitioners before and after launch
  • Translate dense topics into interface patterns that reduce cognitive load, including autonomy levels, agent reasoning, remediation, verification, and telemetry
  • Raise the design bar through critique, mentorship, and reusable patterns, and extend shared systems that your work depends on

Requirements

  • 7+ years of design experience
  • Available online portfolio
  • Knowledge of usability principles and techniques
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools in academic or professional settings

Benefits

  • Sign-on payments
  • Restricted stock units (RSUs)
  • Health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance, option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage)
  • 401(k) matching
  • Paid time off
  • Parental leave

Team focus

  • AWS Security sits inside SSOG
  • Security needs to keep pace as AI systems become more capable and autonomous
  • Focus area: the gap between what an agent can do and what a human can verify
  • Goal: rebuild the experience for a world where agents act and humans must trust, verify, and stay in control

Location and salary

  • Location: New York, NY (onsite)
  • Salary: USD 137,800 - 205,000 per year

A day in the life

  • Work sessions with PM and tech lead on how much autonomy customers should grant an agent at the start, and how the interface justifies requests for more autonomy
  • Critique sessions focused on how agents surface reasoning without overwhelming customers
  • Observation of a security analyst using a AWS Continuum prototype, including the moment they hesitate before allowing the agent to act
  • Alternation between zoomed-out strategy (security when agents do most of the work) and zoomed-in craft (defaults, disclosure, and “undo” language)
