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 in User Experience Researcher
Frame your portfolio for U.S. specialty occupation standards
Your research portfolio needs to demonstrate degree-level methodology, not just deliverables. Highlight usability studies, synthesis frameworks, and research protocols that map clearly to a bachelor's-level discipline, this is what satisfies the E-3 visa specialty occupation definition.
Target employers with active DOL LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to identify companies that have filed LCAs for UX or research roles before. Employers already familiar with the LCA process move faster and are less likely to stall at the sponsorship conversation.
Clarify job title alignment before the offer stage
Job titles like 'UX Researcher,' 'Design Researcher,' and 'User Insights Analyst' can all support an E-3 if the underlying duties require a relevant degree. Confirm your offer letter reflects the role's research-specific responsibilities, not a generalist design title that blurs the specialty occupation requirement.
Prepare your employer for LCA timing expectations
Many U.S. hiring managers don't know the LCA must be certified by DOL before your visa interview. Walk them through the sequence early: LCA certification typically takes seven business days, then you schedule your consulate appointment in Australia.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork
Once you have an offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to manage the LCA, prevailing wage compliance, and consulate documentation end-to-end. This is especially useful when your employer's HR team has no prior E-3 experience.
Address degree equivalency before the consulate appointment
If your Australian qualification is a three-year bachelor's or a graduate diploma in a UX-adjacent field, gather a credential evaluation confirming U.S. equivalency. Consular officers can question non-standard credentials, and having an evaluation ready prevents delays at your interview.
E-3 Visa User Experience Researcher: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find User Experience Researcher jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for E-3-eligible roles. Filter by User Experience Researcher positions where employers have confirmed E-3 sponsorship willingness, so you're not cold-approaching companies unfamiliar with the visa. This saves significant time compared to applying broadly and raising the sponsorship question mid-process.
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 User Experience Researcher role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as human-computer interaction, cognitive science, psychology, or information science. Roles that accept any degree regardless of field, or that treat the degree as a preference rather than a requirement, can be harder to support. The offer letter and job description need to reflect degree-specific requirements clearly.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for User Experience Researchers?
The E-3 has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been fully used, meaning there is no lottery and no annual wait. H-1B visa registration is capped and heavily oversubscribed, so most applicants face multiple lottery rounds before being selected. For Australian UX researchers, the E-3 is the more predictable path: start the LCA process after receiving an offer and attend your consulate appointment without waiting for a random selection outcome.
Can I switch UX research employers while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but the E-3 is employer-specific, so your new employer must file a fresh LCA and you'll need a new visa stamp before or after starting. You can begin work with the new employer once the LCA is certified and a new E-3 is issued, but you cannot carry over status from your previous role. Plan for a consulate appointment if your current stamp has expired.
