INTRODUCTION
Be the one building AI-powered experiences where they matter most.
At Genesys, we help organizations create better customer experiences through AI-powered experience orchestration. Our platform connects people, systems, data and AI to help organizations deliver more personalized service, improve operational efficiency and build stronger customer relationships.
Help build, support and operate technology used by more than 8,000 organizations in over 100 countries – moving AI from possibility to production in real-world enterprise environments every day.
ROLE OVERVIEW
Shape how customers interact directly with AI across voice and digital experiences at Genesys. As a Staff User Experience Designer focused on Conversational AI, you will influence how AI understands, communicates, reasons, acts, recovers, and collaborates with customers as conversational systems become more generative and agentic.
You will own experience direction across complex, connected conversational AI challenges, combining deep UX expertise, conversation or service design, and rigorous user research. Your work will connect individual AI interactions to broader customer journeys, business processes, human handoffs, context, tools, policies, automation, and other AI experiences, helping customers complete meaningful tasks with greater clarity, confidence, and control.
As part of Genesys Design, a multidisciplinary organization of roughly 100 designers, researchers, educators, and operations specialists, you will partner with product managers, engineers, researchers, data scientists, AI specialists, and design leaders. You will influence strategy across teams, identify patterns that extend beyond individual products, and translate customer evidence into principles and frameworks that create more coherent experiences.
This role offers visibility across enterprise AI initiatives and the opportunity to expand your influence at the intersection of UX design, user research, conversation design, voice AI, generative AI, and agentic systems. Through hands-on leadership, mentorship, and cross-functional partnership, you will help teams make ambitious decisions with empathy, work together around shared customer outcomes, and raise the quality of conversational AI experiences across Genesys.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Lead research and discovery across complex and emerging conversational AI problem spaces, ensuring customer evidence influences which problems teams prioritize and how product direction evolves
- Shape end-to-end experience direction for customer interactions with AI, establishing coherent approaches across structured dialogue, generative conversation, and increasingly agentic experiences
- Drive alignment across design, product, engineering, research, data science, and AI teams, turning ambiguous customer and technology challenges into shared experience direction and actionable decisions
- Establish reusable conversational experience principles and frameworks that improve consistency, scalability, and customer trust across products, channels, workflows, automation, and human handoffs
- Define experience direction for voice interactions across understanding, turn-taking, latency, interruption, end-of-speech behavior, pacing, tone, pronunciation, expressiveness, recovery, and conversational naturalness
- Connect voice and digital interaction patterns to broader customer journeys, anticipating system dependencies, policy considerations, context requirements, and experience implications that may not be visible within individual initiatives
- Partner with AI and engineering teams to translate capabilities and constraints across automatic speech recognition, natural language understanding, large language models, text-to-speech, streaming, and agentic systems into intuitive customer experiences
- Use research, experimentation, conversation analysis, and real interaction data to uncover behavioral patterns, challenge assumptions, and improve the effectiveness and quality of AI interactions
- Influence senior stakeholders through compelling narratives that connect customer needs, research evidence, technical realities, business priorities, and experience strategy
- Elevate conversational AI design capability across Genesys through hands-on exploration, design critique, mentorship, frameworks, prototyping methods, research practices, and shared learning
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- 8+ years of experience in UX design, conversation design, service design, user research, content design, customer experience, or a related discipline
- Deep experience solving complex and ambiguous UX problems and shaping experience direction beyond an individual feature, product, or project
- Demonstrated success using qualitative and quantitative research to discover customer needs, frame opportunities, challenge assumptions, and influence product strategy
- Significant experience defining sophisticated end-customer conversational or AI-driven experiences across voice, digital channels, or both
- Demonstrated ability to reason across conversational dimensions including language understanding, dialogue behavior, timing, voice, recovery, trust, context, and action, and translate them into coherent experience direction
- Strong understanding of the user experience implications of automatic speech recognition, natural language understanding, text-to-speech, streaming, large language models, and conversational AI systems
- Demonstrated ability to identify patterns across complex problems and translate them into scalable experience principles, interaction models, frameworks, or design guidance
- Proven ability to influence and align multiple teams and senior cross-functional stakeholders without formal authority
- Strong expertise in storytelling, facilitation, systems thinking, prototyping, design communication, and research-informed decision making
- Portfolio demonstrating significant UX leadership, complex problem solving, research-informed product decisions, and influence across teams
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience designing AI, NLU, LLM-based, generative AI, agentic AI, automation, virtual agent, or complex decision-support products
- Experience shaping conversational experiences that span both voice and digital channels in enterprise or customer experience environments
- Experience using conversation analysis, experimentation, behavioral data, or production interaction data to evaluate and improve AI experiences
- Experience establishing design frameworks, methods, or standards that have improved product quality and design effectiveness across multiple teams

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Staff Designer
Translate your Australian design credentials
A three-year Australian bachelor's degree in design, visual communication, or interaction design satisfies the E-3 visa degree requirement. Get a credential evaluation confirming equivalency to a U.S. bachelor's before your first interview to avoid delays at the offer stage.
Target studios with prior E-3 filing history
Design agencies and in-house teams at tech companies that have sponsored Australian nationals before already understand the LCA process. Search DOL disclosure data to identify employers with recent E-3 or H-1B filings for design roles before applying.
Frame your portfolio around specialty occupation evidence
Your portfolio needs to demonstrate that the role requires specialised design knowledge, not just general creative skill. Lead with projects that involved systems thinking, design direction, or cross-functional product work to support the specialty occupation classification.
Clarify the LCA requirement early in negotiations
Once you have an offer, your employer must file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL before your consulate appointment can proceed. Raise this in the offer conversation so HR isn't caught off guard by the pre-visa paperwork step.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the full process
After your offer is signed, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end. This avoids the coordination gaps that slow down first-time sponsors and gets you to your consulate appointment faster.
Prepare a nonimmigrant intent response for your interview
E-3 is a nonimmigrant visa, so consular officers will assess your ties to Australia. Prepare a direct, factual response covering ongoing Australian connections, such as property, family, or professional memberships, before your Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth appointment.
E-3 Visa Staff Designer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Staff Designer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It filters Staff Designer roles by employers willing to sponsor Australian nationals on the E-3 visa, so you're not sifting through listings that exclude visa candidates. The platform surfaces design roles where sponsorship is already part of the hiring conversation, saving you the back-and-forth of asking each employer individually.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Staff Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position genuinely requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a design-related field such as graphic design, interaction design, or visual communication. Roles titled Staff Designer at product companies and agencies typically meet this standard. Where it can get complicated is when a job description lists a degree as preferred rather than required, which can undermine the specialty occupation case at the consulate.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Staff Designer roles?
The E-3 is available only to Australian citizens, but it has no lottery and no annual cap, which means you can apply whenever you have a job offer rather than waiting for an April registration window. H-1B selection is random and capped at 85,000 per year. For Australian designers, the E-3 is a far more direct path because approval depends on your qualifications and the role, not on luck.
Can I switch Staff Designer roles while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but you need a new LCA and updated visa documentation before starting with the new employer. The E-3 is employer-specific, so your current approval doesn't transfer automatically. If you're changing jobs before your visa period ends, your new employer files a fresh LCA with the DOL, and you'll typically need to attend another consulate appointment in Australia to get a new E-3 stamp.
