Job description

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: This 2021 internship will be based in Berlin, Germany, working with Amazon's Shopping Design studio. We are considering only German university candidates for this role. There is a separate job posting for UX Design intern roles in the United States.

Design at Amazon has been growing steadily in reach and impact—from devices to fashion, delivery logistics to search and streaming video, from voice and sound to physical retail, and more—all while creating and cultivating experiences that touch Amazon customers everywhere, every day. Amazon design teams include every flavor of UI, UX, visual, motion, illustration, brand, and marketing design roles—as well as design technologists, researchers, writers, and more. Check out Amazon.design, and come build the future with us.

As a UX Design Intern, you will collaborate with a team that defines and designs user interfaces, systems, interaction, and visual design patterns.

Responsibilities:
· Design thoughtful, beautiful, and useful software user interfaces and experiences in a team environment.
· Create user-centered designs by considering market analysis, customer feedback, site metrics, and usability findings.
· Use business requirements, user and market research to assist in developing scenarios, use cases, and high-level requirements.
· Develop conceptual diagrams, wireframes, visual mockups, click-throughs, and prototypes.
· Work with stakeholders to plan projects for effective delivery while maintaining high standards for design.
· Be a passionate and effective advocate for design with non-design audiences.

Amazon internships are full-time (40 hours/week). Typically internships commence at the same time as University holidays over the summer months and last 12 weeks. Applicants should have at a minimum one quarter/semester remaining after their internship concludes.

· A portfolio demonstrating past student project and/or work experience and deliverables (e.g. wireframes, mockups, design specs)

· Additional design skills in related fields, such as motion design or prototyping
