Amgen
Summary
In this vital role you will offer a unique opportunity to join a fun, innovative engineering team within the AI & Data Science (AI&D) organization. You will own the experience for pre-defined AI products, from understanding user needs and shaping UX designs through interaction design, UI implementation, launch, stabilization, support transition, adoption and measurable outcome. You will remain hands-on while connecting user discovery, UX design and frontend decisions to turn complex business needs and AI capabilities into secure, accessible, intuitive and reusable user experiences. You will partner with product, backend, data and ML teams to translate designs into production interfaces integrated with APIs, services, data and AI capabilities.
Job description
Roles & Responsibilities
- Lead user-centred discovery with product and UX partners: define user needs, workflows, roles, intended use, baseline, acceptance criteria, accessibility needs, adoption path, operating owner, value hypothesis and measurable technical and business outcomes.
- Translate user research, journeys, workflows, rules, handoffs, exceptions, data dependencies and human decision points into clear UX designs, interaction patterns, prototypes and implementable UI requirements.
- Own the translation of UX designs into responsive UI frontend architecture across human-AI experience, design systems, component composition, state, secure sessions, accessibility, browser performance, API integration, telemetry and graceful failure.
- Lead modern UI delivery using JavaScript or TypeScript and React, Next.js or comparable component-based frameworks; turn UX designs and prototypes into accessible, performant production interfaces, and contribute full-stack expertise to API contracts, integrations, data flows and production support as needed.
- Design and implement human-AI UX and UI experiences that integrate model services, LLMs, RAG, search, agents, BI and deterministic automation with access-aware data, clear loading and error states, evidence, human control, feedback and traceable outcomes.
- Establish risk-based UI, accessibility, integration and end-to-end testing; contribute to CI/CD, staged release, telemetry, rollback, incident response, browser performance, runbooks and support ownership.
- Coordinate governance and GxP controls, create reusable UI components, patterns and playbooks, lead root-cause analysis, measure adoption and experience quality, mentor engineers and improve frontend delivery practices.

- UX design, frontend and human-AI engineering: User research, journeys, information architecture, interaction design, wireframes, prototypes, accessible frontend architecture, component design, state, forms, secure sessions, streaming, review, correction, approval, uncertainty, feedback, telemetry and recoverable failure.
- Full-stack integration and application architecture: API contracts, services, events, workflows, persistence, enterprise integrations, data flows, authentication, authorization, resilience and supportable user experiences.
- AI-enabled product experiences: Production integration of predictive ML, foundation models, embeddings, vector or graph retrieval, RAG, structured output, bounded agents, document or vision capabilities, BI and deterministic workflows with clear human oversight.
- Testing, cloud, DevSecOps and reliability: Representative testing and AI evaluation, repository governance, architecture decisions, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, quality gates, staged release, SLOs, observability, incidents, rollback, disaster recovery and FinOps.
- Security, Responsible AI and regulated delivery: Identity, authorization, least privilege, tenant isolation, secrets, OWASP, supply-chain controls, privacy, threat modeling, prompt/tool safeguards, validation, auditability, accessibility and GxP evidence.
Must-Have Skills
- Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of UX design and UI delivery for at least one production web application, digital product or substantial user-interface workstream that delivered a measurable outcome.
- Strong hands-on proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript, HTML and CSS, with experience translating UX designs into responsive, accessible interfaces using React, Next.js or a comparable component-based framework.
- Working full-stack experience with APIs, integrations, data flows and production support, with the ability to partner with backend, data and ML specialists on deeper service, model, RAG, agent and MLOps decisions.
Preferred Skills
