Principal UX Designer, AWS Security, Search, Observability & Governance

• Deep expertise in design systems — architecture, governance, component libraries, and cross-team adoption at scale
• Strong technical fluency: ability to read, review, and contribute to production code (HTML/CSS/JS, React preferred)
