Circle is building the world’s leading all-in-one platform for online communities. We make it possible for creators, coaches, educators, and businesses to bring together their audience with engaging discussions, live streams, events, chat, courses, and payments — all in one place, all under their own brand.
We’re proud to be a fully remote company of around 200 (and growing!) team members from 30+ countries around the world. We seek exceptional individuals around the world, set them up to do the best work of their lives, and in turn, create a meaningful impact in their own lives. We don't track hours, but we do manage for high expectations very closely. We collaborate across time zones, are highly async, and like to document a lot.
Twice a year, we bring the whole company together in beautiful places around the world for our company offsites. So far, we’ve hosted offsites in Turkey, Portugal, Mexico, Thailand, Colombia, Italy, Ireland, and more, with still more to come!
ABOUT THE ROLE
You’ll own design for one of Circle’s most important product areas. That means you define the problem, shape the direction, and ship the experience—not wait for a brief. The specific area will be determined based on your strengths and company priorities.
You’ll report into the product design organization and work as the most senior design IC on your product area, partnering directly with product managers, engineers, and design leadership. You’ll also work alongside other Leads across Circle’s product surface. As the team grows, you’ll be expected to raise the bar for the designers around you.
AI is not a section on this job description—it’s how we work. Circle’s design team builds with AI tools daily: exploring product directions, prototyping with code-generation tools, stress-testing ideas faster than traditional workflows allow. We’re looking for someone who already works this way and wants to push it further.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
- Own a product area end-to-end: identify opportunities, frame the problem, set design direction, and ship—operating as a peer to Product and Engineering, not a downstream executor
- Design complex, multi-step product flows that serve multiple user types—balancing creator needs against member experience, and making sophisticated behavior feel simple
- Prototype and test at speed—using AI-assisted tools, code-generation workflows, and whatever gets you to a testable concept fastest
- Influence product strategy beyond your own surface: contribute to roadmap conversations, flag opportunities other teams miss, and connect dots across the product
- Drive the craft standard on your area—interaction design, visual quality, and the small details that separate polished product from “good enough”
- Collaborate closely with engineers and design engineers to turn concepts into working, shippable experiences—not hand off specs and hope
- Raise the bar for the broader design team through feedback, shared frameworks, and the quality of your own output
WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL
- Strong alignment with our values, find our values on our career page if you haven’t read up on them yet
- You are proficient in English (spoken, written, and reading) at a CEFR Level C2 / ILR Level 5.
- 5–7+ years of product design experience. Your portfolio should show systems-level thinking: shipped 0→1 work, complex multi-user flows, and evidence that you shaped the product direction—not just the interface
- Experience operating as the most senior designer on a product area—setting direction, making tradeoffs, and owning outcomes without constant guidance
- Strong prototyping skills—you build clickable, realistic prototypes yourself. Bonus if you’re already using AI-assisted prototyping tools like Cursor, Claude Code, v0, or Lovable
- Proficiency in Figma for high-fidelity design and collaboration
- Exceptional written and verbal communication—able to clearly explain complex ideas, influence decisions, and align teams asynchronously. You write well because that’s how decisions get made in a distributed team
- Comfortable designing in ambiguity and building conviction through iteration, not waiting for perfect requirements
- An active, evolving AI workflow—you already use AI tools in your design process and can speak concretely about how. This isn’t a checkbox; it’s a real part of how we evaluate fit
COMPENSATION
- $140,000 - $170,000 USD per year
The cash compensation range shown is a starting point. In addition to equity, benefits and perks, your cash compensation is subject to an annual review and increase on a once per year basis.
We are hiring at a Lead level for this role; however, we may consider offering this position at the Senior level depending on a candidate’s experience level alignment with the role. In either case, the offer would fall within the published compensation range.
THE FUN STUFF
- Fully remote: work from anywhere in the world!
- Autonomy and trust to do your job: we care about outcomes over everything else.
- Paid time away: all employees are given 35 days of PTO annually. We also offer a paid sabbatical after 5 years.
- Generous U.S. benchmarked compensation and startup equity no matter where you are in the world.*
- Awesome medical coverage with 100% coverage for you and your family, or medical reimbursement options where applicable!*
- Parental leave for parents expanding their family, or just starting one.
- Home office stipend to help you get up and running.
- Learning & development stipend to help you level up your professional skills.
- Annual bonus potential for roles that don't already receive variable income or commission.
- Company retreats: Twice a year, the Circle team gets together for a fully paid company retreat in incredible places around the world! We’ve had past retreats in Colombia, Portugal, and Mexico, with more planned on the horizon.
*Your role, location and unique circumstance may affect this.

Job Roles at Circle Internet Financial
How to Get Visa Sponsorship in Circle Internet Financial H-1B Visa Sponsorship Jobs USA
Target technical and engineering roles
Circle's H-1B sponsorship is concentrated in software engineering, backend infrastructure, and blockchain development. Applying to roles with clear specialty occupation requirements strengthens your petition and signals a straightforward sponsorship pathway to their HR and legal teams.
Highlight fintech and crypto domain expertise
Circle operates at the intersection of financial technology and digital assets. Candidates with hands-on experience in blockchain protocols, payment systems, or regulated financial software stand out and make the sponsorship case easier for hiring managers to support internally.
Raise sponsorship early and directly
Technology and Software companies like Circle are accustomed to H-1B sponsorship conversations. Bring it up professionally in your first recruiter call rather than waiting, so the hiring team can confirm budget and legal support before investing time on both sides.
Understand Circle's H-1B timeline expectations
H-1B cap petitions are filed in April for an October 1 start date. If you're already in the U.S. on another status, a change of status is possible. Clarify your current visa situation with the recruiter so Circle's immigration counsel can plan accordingly.
Search for verified H-1B sponsors before applying
Not every fintech company sponsors consistently. Migrate Mate surfaces verified sponsors so you can filter by real sponsorship history, helping you focus your search on companies like Circle that have an active H-1B track record rather than guessing from job postings alone.
Prepare documentation that supports specialty occupation
Circle's immigration attorneys will need to demonstrate the role qualifies as a specialty occupation. Have your degree transcripts, professional certifications, and a clear description of your technical responsibilities ready to support the H-1B petition from the start.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Circle Internet Financial sponsor H-1B visas?
Yes, Circle Internet Financial sponsors H-1B visas. The company operates in the Technology and Software sector and regularly hires international professionals for technical roles. Circle works with immigration counsel to manage H-1B petitions, making it a realistic sponsorship option for qualified candidates in software engineering, blockchain, and related fields.
Which roles and departments at Circle Internet Financial typically receive H-1B sponsorship?
H-1B sponsorship at Circle is most common in software engineering, platform infrastructure, and blockchain protocol development. Product and data roles with strong technical degree requirements can also qualify. Roles that fall under specialty occupation criteria, meaning they require a specific bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field, are the clearest candidates for sponsorship.
How do I navigate the H-1B application process at Circle Internet Financial?
Once Circle extends an offer, their immigration counsel handles the H-1B petition, including the Labor Condition Application filed with the Department of Labor. You'll provide supporting documentation such as transcripts and employment verification. If you're subject to the annual cap, your petition enters the lottery in March for an October start. Cap-exempt transitions from existing H-1B status can move faster.
How long does the H-1B sponsorship process take at Circle Internet Financial?
For cap-subject petitions, the process runs on a fixed federal timeline: registration in March, lottery selection in April, petition filing by June 30, and employment starting October 1. Premium processing can reduce USCIS adjudication to a matter of weeks once filed. If you're transferring an existing H-1B from another employer, Circle can file a petition allowing you to start sooner without waiting for the next cap cycle.
How do I find open H-1B jobs at Circle Internet Financial?
Check Circle's careers page directly for open technical roles, and use Migrate Mate to filter for verified H-1B sponsors in the fintech and cryptocurrency space. Migrate Mate lets you confirm Circle's sponsorship history before applying, so you're not relying on vague job posting language. Focus your applications on roles with clear technical degree requirements, which are the most straightforward to sponsor.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B jobs at Circle Internet Financial?
H-1B employers must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is determined when they file the Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor. The rate is based on the role, location, and experience level, and ensures international hires are paid comparably to U.S. workers in the same position. You can look up prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the DOL's OFLC Wage Search tool.
