- You will lead projects staffed both with our accessibility engineering team, as well as those staffed by engineering partner teams within Devices & Services, to deliver accessibility solutions to ship across the half a billion devices Amazon has shipped over the past 15 years.
- This role requires a high degree of autonomy, drive, and the ability to problem solve.
- You will be well suited to this role if you are customer-focused, resourceful, team-oriented, and have an ability to work independently under time constraints.

A day in the life
In this role, no two days are the same — and that’s by design. You will spend a good part of your time engaging with a wide range of partner teams across product, UX, research, engineering, legal, and other product teams to gather insights, clarify accessibility requirements, and uncover both issues and opportunities.
You’ll participate in regular brainstorming sessions to shape new ideas, solve complex accessibility problems, and design fixes that address not just immediate needs, but also set us up for long-term success.
You will meet with customers at disability conferences throughout the year, representing Amazon and our accessibility offerings, and learning about what customers love, what could work better, and what they wish we might offer.
