    Description

    There's a universe of opportunity at Amazon.

    At Amazon, your career doesn't follow a straight line. It accelerates, twists, and challenges you in ways you never expected. From the moment you join, you're part of something big: building products or services that reach millions and shaping how people live, work, and connect every day. This is where your ideas turn into real impact. You'll work with world class tools, global platforms, and systems built to operate at an extraordinary scale. You'll move fast, experiment and launch solutions that matter. With endless opportunities to explore across teams and roles, you'll learn quickly, apply what you know and discover skills you didn't know existed. This is an environment designed for builders who want to see the impact of their work in the world. Ready to start your adventure?

    What's in it for you?

    An internship at Amazon means real responsibility from day one. You'll build, test, and learn alongside people who want to see you succeed, while making an impact that reaches far beyond campus.

    This is a summer only internship, taking place between May/June and August/September 2027. Amazon internships across all seasons are full-time positions. Interns should expect to work in office, Monday through Friday, up to 40 hours per week, typically between 8am and 5pm. Specific team norms around working hours will be communicated by your manager. Students should not have conflicts such as classes or other employment during the Amazon workday.

    Applicants should have a minimum of one quarter, semester, or trimester remaining in their studies after their internship concludes. By applying to this position, your application will be considered for all UX Designer Intern roles at the locations we hire for across the United States.

    You will be able to provide your preference of location and start date during the application process, but we cannot guarantee that we can meet your selection based on several factors, including but not limited to the availability and business needs of this role. Finalization of the available locations and start dates will be provided to you at the time of job offer.

    As a UX Design intern, you will contribute to product vision and collaborate with a team that defines and designs user interfaces, systems, and interaction, visual, motion, and voice design patterns. You must be proactive, creative, flexible, and resilient, and able to handle high levels of ambiguity.

    Please note that we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
