SUMMARY
What We’re Building (and Why It’s Kind of a Big Deal)
We’re a small team inside TransPerfect building a massive internal platform—a low-code application builder that’s powering how our entire company operates. It’s ambitious. It’s complex. It’s not “done.” And that’s exactly why it’s fun.
Think:
- Drag-and-drop UI builder
- Highly dynamic, data-driven interfaces
- Enterprise-scale… without enterprise-level red tape
We operate more like a startup embedded inside a global company, which means we move fast, figure things out as we go, and need people who are excited to build something real from the ground up.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
You won’t just “work on UI.” You’ll help define how this whole thing works.
- Build and evolve a drag-and-drop app builder used across the company
- Collaborate and shape frontend architecture decisions (React / Next.js)
- Implement highly interactive, state-heavy UIs
- Create component systems that non-developers can configure and use
- Balance performance, usability, and flexibility in a complex environment
- Partner closely with product and design (who have opinions) and engineering (who have different opinions)
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
The Kind of Engineer This Role Needs
We’re not looking for someone who needs perfect specs and clean workflows. We’re looking for someone who:
- Is comfortable when things are a little messy
- Can figure things out without a playbook
- Has strong eye for design and knows when to pivot
- Can think like both a developer and a designer
- Doesn’t panic when priorities shift or structure evolves
If you’ve worked in a perfectly polished, process-heavy dev org: this will feel different. If you’ve ever said “this could be built way better if we just…”: this is your playground.
Core Technical Stuff (Yes, This Still Matters)
You’ll need to be strong here, we’re building something non-trivial.
- React / Next.js (deep experience, not surface-level)
- Advanced state management (handling complex, nested, high-volume UI state)
- TypeScript (strict mode)—you’re comfortable modeling complex systems
- Component architecture—you’ve built systems, not just screens
- Styling systems (we use a mix of MUI + Tailwind… yes, really, so experience in both is preferred)
- Performance tuning (keeping things smooth even when they shouldn’t be)
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Bonus points:
- Experience with low-code/no-code tools
- Thinking in JSON schemas / UI-as-data
- Building drag-and-drop interfaces
DESIGN MINDSET
This Is Big for Us
We need engineers who care about UX, not just functionality.
- You can design dense interfaces that still feel usable
- You think about how users actually interact with systems
- You understand tradeoffs between flexibility and clarity
- You’re comfortable shaping UX—not just implementing it
WORK ENVIRONMENT
What It’s Like Working Here
Let’s be real:
- We’re building something big with a small team
- The structure isn’t perfect
- Priorities can shift
- We’re figuring some things out as we go
But also:
- You’ll have real ownership
- Your decisions will actually matter
- You won’t be stuck maintaining legacy code forever
- You’ll help define how this platform evolves
WHY THIS ROLE IS WORTH IT
If you’re looking for:
- A perfectly structured, predictable environment → this isn’t it
- A chance to build something meaningful, complex, and evolving → this is it
This is a role for someone who wants to:
- Build, not just maintain
- Influence, not just execute
- Ship real product used at scale
THE BASICS
Still Required
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
- Experience building highly interactive web apps
- Strong performance mindset
- Familiarity with modern frontend tooling
WHERE YOUR CAREER IS GOING
At TransPerfect, there are a lot of growth opportunities. All departments offer career growth and development that can combine your skills, interest and experience. We encourage our employees to have a continuous dialogue with management about growth opportunities throughout your tenure with the company.
End your job search and find your career at TransPerfect #careersNOTjobs.
WHY TRANSPERFECT
For more than 25 years, we have honed a culture where all kinds of ideas are shared and new ventures are not only welcomed, but also encouraged. In this fast-paced environment, employees are intellectually stimulated so they can grow alongside the organization. From Intern to President, we believe that every single employee should have a voice and contribute to the amazing services we offer our clients.
We also offer a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401k matching, membership to child-care providers, and other TransPerks. You even get your birthday off because let's face it, we're stoked that you were born.
TransPerfect provides equal employment opportunity to all individuals regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by state, federal, or local law.
FINAL THOUGHT
We’re not pretending this is a polished, perfectly structured role. We are saying:
If you’re the kind of engineer who thrives in ambiguity, likes solving hard problems, and wants to help shape something big.
You’ll probably love it here.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Senior UX Engineer
Verify your degree maps to UX
USCIS scrutinizes specialty occupation eligibility for UX roles. A degree in HCI, cognitive science, or computer science supports your petition more cleanly than a general business degree, even with years of UX experience.
Use O*NET to anchor your job duties
Pull the O*NET occupation profile for UX Engineers before your employer drafts your job description. Aligning your listed duties with the O*NET standard strengthens the specialty occupation argument in your I-129 petition.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate to filter Senior UX Engineer roles by employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for this occupation. Past LCA activity signals an employer already understands the H-1B process and prevailing wage obligations.
Confirm your wage tier before accepting an offer
Run your job title and location through the OFLC Wage Search to check which prevailing wage level applies. Senior UX Engineer roles often land at Level III or IV, and your offered salary must meet or exceed the certified LCA wage.
Ask your employer about premium processing upfront
Standard H-1B adjudication can run several months. Clarifying whether your employer will elect premium processing with USCIS protects your start date and avoids gaps if your current status has a firm expiration window.
Document your portfolio as petition evidence
Gather project briefs, research deliverables, and any publications or conference presentations before your employer files. UX petitions sometimes draw Requests for Evidence; a well-documented portfolio showing specialized methodology reinforces the specialty occupation claim.
H-1B Visa Senior UX Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior UX Engineer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, Senior UX Engineer roles generally qualify as specialty occupations because they require at minimum a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as human-computer interaction, cognitive science, or computer science. USCIS evaluates the specific duties in your job description, not just the title, so your employer's I-129 petition must clearly tie your day-to-day work to a theoretical and practical body of highly specialized knowledge.
How do I find employers actively sponsoring H-1B visas for UX Engineer roles?
Migrate Mate surfaces Senior UX Engineer positions filtered by employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for this occupation, so you can focus on companies with a documented H-1B track record rather than guessing from job postings. Past LCA filings are public DOL records and indicate an employer is already familiar with the prevailing wage and filing requirements for your role.
What level of prevailing wage applies to a Senior UX Engineer on an H-1B?
Most Senior UX Engineer positions are classified at DOL wage Level III or Level IV, reflecting fully competent or expert-level work with supervisory or leadership components. Your employer certifies the applicable level on the LCA before filing the H-1B petition, and your offered compensation must meet or exceed that certified wage for the specific metropolitan area where you'll be working.
Can I switch H-1B employers if I'm already working as a UX Engineer?
Yes, H-1B portability under AC21 lets you start working for a new employer as soon as they file a non-frivolous H-1B transfer petition, without waiting for approval, provided your current H-1B has been approved for at least 180 days. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA for the UX Engineer position and certify the prevailing wage for your new work location before submitting the I-129.
What happens if USCIS issues a Request for Evidence on my Senior UX Engineer petition?
RFEs on UX Engineer petitions typically challenge whether the role requires a degree in a specific specialty rather than a general field. A strong response includes a detailed duty-by-duty analysis, the O*NET occupational profile showing the degree requirements standard for the occupation, and supporting evidence such as your portfolio, project documentation, and any publications or presentations demonstrating specialized expertise.
