This is why at Mysten Labs, we are creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies. Mysten Labs is looking for a Staff Product Designer to set the experience strategy for the DeepBook financial stack and the first-party products built around it, spanning spot trading, margin, prediction markets, liquidity, and the workflows that connect users and builders to onchain finance on Sui. This role requires strong product judgment, exceptional design craft, people leadership, and real fluency in financial markets and DeFi. You will work with product and engineering from strategy through launch, build a design team that can cover a growing product surface, and stay close enough to the work to lead critical product flows yourself. The right person knows how to make complex financial systems clear without removing the information users need to assess risk. You should be comfortable designing for retail and professional users, working through technical and regulatory constraints, and using research and product data to improve adoption, execution quality, retention, and trust.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
What You Will Do
- Set the design vision, principles, and priorities in partnership with product, engineering, and business leadership.
- Own the end-to-end experience across DeepBook spot, margin, prediction products, liquidity workflows, and related first-party applications.
- Lead the design of core journeys including onboarding, funding, market discovery, order entry, transaction review and signing, portfolio and position management, collateral, liquidation risk, settlement, and recovery from failed states.
- Design for distinct audiences such as retail traders, experienced DeFi users, market makers, liquidity providers, institutions, and developers without creating a fragmented product experience.
- Remain hands-on in the highest-priority work by framing problems, developing concepts, prototyping, testing, and reviewing implementation quality.
- Build a scalable design system and shared interaction patterns for dense financial data, charts, tables, order entry, account states, alerts, and risk communication.
- Establish a practical research program using interviews, usability studies, product analytics, support feedback, and market observation.
- Partner with engineering to understand protocol behavior, transaction states, latency, data dependencies, security boundaries, and platform constraints.
- Work with legal, security, marketing, business development, and ecosystem teams to launch products responsibly and communicate financial concepts accurately.
- Define design and product quality measures, then connect the team's work to activation, conversion, trading success, retention, support burden, and user trust.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
What You Will Have
- 10 or more years of product design experience, including meaningful experience leading, hiring, and developing designers in a fast-moving product organization.
- A portfolio that shows both exceptional individual craft and leadership impact across complex, data-dense products.
- Experience designing trading, investing, fintech, payments, crypto, marketplace, or other high-stakes products where users make consequential decisions.
- Fluency in DeFi and direct experience using onchain products. You can discuss swaps, order books, liquidity, routing, slippage, collateral, leverage, liquidation, settlement, smart-contract risk, and transaction signing.
- Strong product judgment and a record of shaping strategy, prioritization, and product decisions with product and engineering partners.
- Skill in interaction design, information architecture, visual design, prototyping, research, and systems thinking.
- Experience building design systems and operating practices that improve consistency and delivery across multiple products.
- Comfort working through ambiguity and making progress while product, technical, market, and legal inputs continue to change.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Nice to Have
- Experience leading design for an exchange, order book, derivatives or margin product, prediction market, wallet, aggregator, or institutional trading platform.
- Experience with both retail and professional trading experiences, including charts, market data, portfolio analytics, and execution workflows.
- Familiarity with Sui, Move, programmable transaction blocks, DeepBook, Slush, or object-based blockchain architectures.
- Experience designing products in legally complex or regulated financial categories.
- Prior experience as a founder, design executive, principal designer, trader, DeFi power user, or ecosystem operator.
Employment is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check, which may include verification of employment history, education credentials, criminal history, and other relevant information.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Product Designer
Frame your portfolio around specialty occupation
USCIS evaluates whether your role requires a theoretical design degree, not just skills. Annotate portfolio case studies to show how your HCI or interaction design education directly drove your decisions, not just your outcomes.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter Product Designer roles by employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for design-specific SOC codes, so you're applying where visa sponsorship infrastructure already exists.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Run the OFLC Wage Search using SOC code 27-1021 and your target metro area before any salary discussion. Your employer's LCA must certify at least the prevailing wage, and negotiating below it creates a compliance problem at filing.
Verify your role maps to the right SOC code
Product Designer duties can fall under multiple SOC codes depending on your focus. Pull the O*NET profile for 27-1021 and confirm your actual job tasks align, since a mismatched code on the LCA can trigger a Request for Evidence.
Time your application around the cap registration window
H-1B cap registration opens each March for an October 1 start date. If your offer comes outside that window, ask your employer whether the role qualifies for a cap-exempt institution or whether a cap-gap extension covers your OPT period.
Clarify who owns filing fees before accepting the offer
USCIS prohibits employers from passing certain H-1B filing fees to you. Confirm in writing which fees your employer covers before signing, particularly for premium processing if a faster decision is important to your start date.
H-1B Visa Product Designer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Product Designer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as industrial design, human-computer interaction, or interaction design. Job postings that list a degree as preferred rather than required weaken the specialty occupation argument. Review the job description carefully and confirm the requirement is explicit before your employer files the LCA.
Which employers actually sponsor H-1B visas for Product Designers?
Technology companies, enterprise software firms, and large financial institutions sponsor the most Product Designer H-1B petitions. Smaller startups sponsor less frequently, not because they're unwilling, but because they often lack in-house immigration counsel. Browse Migrate Mate to find Product Designer openings filtered by employers with verified H-1B filing history for design roles specifically.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new Product Designer role mid-employment?
Yes. H-1B portability lets you start working for a new employer as soon as the transfer petition is received by USCIS, as long as your previous status was lawful and the petition is non-frivolous. Your new employer must file a new I-129 and LCA. You don't need to wait for approval before starting, but the role must still qualify as a specialty occupation.
What happens to my H-1B if I'm laid off from a Product Designer position?
You have a 60-day grace period after losing your H-1B employment to find a new sponsoring employer, file a change of status, or depart the U.S. The 60-day window starts the day your employment ends, not when the layoff is announced. Filing an H-1B transfer petition before the grace period expires allows you to maintain lawful status while USCIS adjudicates the new petition.
Does a contractor or freelance Product Designer arrangement qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Only if a single employer controls your work and bears an employer-employee relationship as USCIS defines it. Independent contractor arrangements where you set your own hours and work for multiple clients simultaneously don't meet the employer-employee test. If you're placed at a client site through a staffing agency, the agency is your H-1B petitioner, but USCIS scrutinizes third-party placement petitions for specialty occupation evidence more closely.
