About the Role:
We are seeking a Staff Product Designer to join our growing team and play a key role in shaping the future of AlphaSense’s product experience. This is a Staff-level individual contributor role, where you’ll lead through design craft, systems thinking, and a deep understanding of our customers’ workflows.
In this role, you will drive strategic design initiatives—translating complex, data-rich problems into intuitive, high-quality experiences that feel tailored to how our customers actually work. You’ll bring clarity to ambiguity, define end-to-end workflows, and ensure our product experiences are cohesive, scalable, and grounded in real user needs.
You will partner closely with Product, Engineering, and AI teams to shape how capabilities come together into meaningful user experiences — from early concept through execution. You’ll balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints, ensuring we deliver experiences that are not only functional, but differentiated through quality and usability.
As a senior member of the Design team, you’ll act as a multiplier, mentoring other designers, contributing to our design systems and patterns, and helping raise the bar for craft and consistency across the product. You’ll play a critical role in defining how we deliver AI-native workflows, ensuring they are intuitive, trustworthy, and seamlessly integrated into our customers’ day-to-day work.
This role is an opportunity to help establish the foundations of a truly workflow-centric, AI-powered product experience — one that enables our customers to move from information to insight to decision with speed and confidence.
Why this role matters:
At AlphaSense, design is a core driver of how we win. As we build an AI-native platform, the quality of our user experience will define how effectively customers can navigate complexity, build conviction, and make decisions.
In this role, you will help set that standard through the experiences you design, the systems you strengthen, and the team you help elevate.
Who You Are:
- 10+ years of experience in product design, with a strong portfolio demonstrating excellence in interaction design, systems thinking, and delivering high-quality, user-centered experiences.
- Bachelor’s degree in Product Design, Graphic Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Deep expertise in designing end-to-end customer workflows, with a proven ability to simplify complex, data-rich problems into intuitive, habit-forming product experiences.
- Highly proficient in design and prototyping tools, with the ability to communicate ideas through flows, systems, and high-fidelity prototypes.
- Strong collaboration with engineering teams, with working knowledge of modern web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Bonus if you have experience with React or similar frameworks.
- Actively leverage AI to augment your design process from research and ideation to prototyping and iteration, and continuously build fluency with modern AI tools and workflows.
- Strong awareness of emerging AI and search technologies, with curiosity and initiative to apply new capabilities to real product experiences.
- Proven ability to lead complex projects end-to-end, navigate ambiguity, and drive clarity across cross-functional teams.
- Demonstrated experience mentoring and developing other designers, helping raise the bar for craft, systems thinking, and execution.
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Highly curious, thoughtful, and driven, able to quickly build context, form strong points of view, and push work forward.
- Experience in financial services, investment workflows, or data-heavy SaaS products is a plus.
What You’ll Do:
- Deliver high-fidelity prototypes, interaction models, and end-to-end experiences that clearly communicate product vision and drive strategic alignment across stakeholders.
- Transform customer insights from interviews, surveys, and usability testing into actionable product direction, championing customer empathy throughout the product development lifecycle.
- Define and drive design strategy for key initiatives, ensuring alignment with company goals and a clear connection between user needs, business outcomes, and product direction.
- Partner closely with product managers, engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate complex requirements into intuitive, high-quality user experiences that scale.
- Deliver exceptionally crafted solutions while elevating design quality across the team by contributing to the design system, evolving patterns, and shaping best practices.
- Design for systems, not just screens, working within and advancing a growing design system to ensure consistency, scalability, and cohesion across the product.
- Stay at the forefront of industry trends, emerging technologies, and AI capabilities, applying new ideas to continuously improve product experiences.
- Communicate complex ideas with clarity and influence, ensuring alignment and momentum across cross-functional partners.
- Collaborate closely with engineering throughout development, advocating for design quality and ensuring a high bar for execution, usability, and attention to detail.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Staff Product Designer
Align your portfolio to specialty occupation criteria
USCIS scrutinizes whether Senior Staff Product Designer roles require a specific theoretical and practical application of a body of knowledge. Frame your portfolio around systems-level design decisions tied directly to your degree discipline, not general creative output.
Check employer LCA filings before applying
Use Migrate Mate to filter Senior Staff Product Designer openings by verified DOL Labor Condition Application history, so you're targeting employers who have actually filed for this role, not just listed it as visa-eligible in job descriptions.
Verify your wage level before the offer stage
Run the OFLC Wage Search using the SOC code for User Experience Designers in your target metro area. If an offer comes in below Level III or IV, your employer's LCA will reflect that discrepancy and may trigger USCIS scrutiny during adjudication.
Document cross-functional scope for your I-129
Staff-level design roles that span product, engineering, and research are sometimes challenged as insufficiently specialized. Build a role justification letter with your employer that maps each key responsibility to a specific design or HCI discipline before filing.
Time your application around premium processing windows
USCIS offers premium processing for H-1B petitions, currently adjudicated within 15 business days. For Senior Staff roles with negotiated start dates, confirm your employer will elect premium processing before signing an offer with a hard start deadline.
Identify cap-exempt employers for faster paths
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and certain government-affiliated institutions are cap-exempt, meaning they can file your H-1B year-round without lottery selection. Senior Staff Product Designer roles exist at these organizations, particularly in health tech and edtech.

Find Senior Staff Product Designer JobsSenior Staff Product Designer H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Staff Product Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS requires that the position normally requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as industrial design, human-computer interaction, or a closely related discipline. Staff-level roles with strategic scope and demonstrated degree requirements in job postings are well-positioned, but your employer's petition must clearly tie the role's duties to that specific body of knowledge.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Senior Staff Product Designer roles?
Large technology companies, enterprise software firms, fintech companies, and healthcare technology organizations are the most consistent H-1B sponsors for senior design roles. Browse open Senior Staff Product Designer positions on Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers with verified DOL LCA filing history so you can focus your search on companies that have actively sponsored this role.
How does the prevailing wage requirement affect Senior Staff Product Designer offers?
Your employer must certify through the DOL that your offered wage meets the prevailing wage for your occupation and work location. For Senior Staff roles, that typically corresponds to a Level III or Level IV wage under DOL's four-tier system. You can verify the applicable wage yourself using the OFLC Wage Search before accepting an offer, which helps you negotiate from an informed position.
Can I change employers while on H-1B status as a Senior Staff Product Designer?
Yes. Under H-1B portability rules, you can start working for a new employer as soon as they file a new H-1B petition on your behalf, provided your current status is valid and your prior petition was approved. You don't need to wait for the new petition to be adjudicated, but your new employer must file before your current authorized period ends.
Does the O*NET classification for my role affect my H-1B petition?
It can. USCIS and DOL both reference O*NET occupational data when evaluating whether a role qualifies as a specialty occupation and what prevailing wage applies. The O*NET profile for User Experience Designers specifies a job zone and typical education level that supports H-1B eligibility for Senior Staff Product Designer roles, and citing it in your petition documentation can strengthen the specialty occupation argument.
