Amazon's Retail business is growing at an exhilarating pace and customers recently ranked Amazon #1 in the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) - but it is still "day one".

We are hiring an experienced Interior Designer to help us grow our business in new innovative ways. In this role you will be working closely with our product and technology teams to design and bring to life new customer experiences within the Amazon Home category. In addition, you will evolve and evangelize Amazon Home's definition of furniture styles, and you will support our data scientists' classification algorithm development.
To date, you will have had hands-on experience with Interior Design, architecture or furniture design. You are passionate about Interior Design and know how to apply a high visual beauty bar, without sacrificing customer experience, trust or operational efficiencies. You are highly analytical, able to work effectively in a matrix organization, and adept at using variety of technologies to create visually appealing, high quality rooms and renders. #reinventretail
