H-1B Visa Staff Designer Jobs
Staff Designer roles qualify for H-1B sponsorship under the specialty occupation category, requiring at least a bachelor's degree in graphic design, interaction design, or a related field.

Get Access To All JobsABOUT SUNO
We're building the world's first creative entertainment platform, where the entire world can feel the joy and fulfilment of making music. Music is for everyone: Our users include everyone from grandmothers creating songs for their loved ones, to Grammy winners using Suno Studio, our power tool, to make the most popular hits in the world.
Building the future of entertainment requires ambition. The pace is fast, the problems are hard, and the work demands ownership and intensity. For the right people, it’s incredibly rewarding: a chance to shape a new medium, work with a small team that cares deeply about quality, make music, drink too much coffee, and build something that millions of people use to express themselves in ways that were never before possible.
Suno is the fastest growing consumer entertainment company and the leader in AI music. We are backed by leading investors including Menlo Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Matrix Partners, NVentures (venture arm of NVIDIA).
Founded in 2023 by Harvard alumni with a shared passion for music, Suno has grown to a 200-person team while empowering over 100 million people to create original songs. We are a leading music app on the App Store, and in 2025, raised a $250 million Series C funding round to continue building innovative products and a world-class team.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re hiring a Staff Product Designer to craft amazing experiences across platforms and help define the future of music. You will primarily drive end-to-end designs for our web app on desktop and mobile, but you’ll have a hand in other surfaces as well. We want to craft the world’s best app for creating and listening to music, from each major user flow to the smallest minutiae of the interaction design.
If you’re passionate about our mission and have a portfolio that remains user-centered while balancing innovation with intuitiveness, we’d love to hear from you.
Listen to the song we made about it: https://suno.com/s/WB2bI1SuqicDTFDf
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Elevate the design of our web and mobile app experience across platforms because we love wearing a lot of hats.
- Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Research, Data, and basically everyone else because you know the best ideas can come from anywhere.
- Hold an incredibly high standard for quality and craft. You care about the little details (pixel-perfection, microinteractions, motion design) that add up to excellence.
- Innovate. We aim to push the boundaries of UI and UX without losing sight of the user and what would be intuitive and engaging for them.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- Experience crafting delightful consumer design. We’re flexible on experience level, but we do need to mutter “nice” to ourselves while scrolling through your portfolio.
- A bias for action. You thrive as a self-starter in a fast-paced environment where you can wear many hats and bring your ideas to life.
- Comfort with ambiguity. You’re always learning and growing, and can help bring clarity to a fast-moving problem space with more questions than answers.
- Expertise in Figma. Bonus points for skills in animated prototype and building/maintaining design system components.
- A love of music (listening, exploring, making) is a huge plus.
Suno is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We consider qualified applicants without regard to race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital or family status, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other legally protected basis under provincial, federal, state, and local laws, regulations, or ordinances. We will also consider qualified applicants with criminal histories in a manner consistent with the requirements of state and local laws, including the Massachusetts Fair Chance in Employment Act, NYC Fair Chance Act, LA City Fair Chance Ordinance, and San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Staff Designer
Align your portfolio to specialty occupation standards
USCIS evaluates whether your role requires a specific degree, not just design skill. Structure your portfolio to show systems-level thinking, design leadership, and cross-functional scope that clearly maps to a bachelor's-level discipline.
Look up prevailing wages before negotiating offers
Use the OFLC Wage Search to find the DOL wage level for your SOC code and metro area. Your offered salary must meet or exceed the certified LCA wage, so knowing Level II versus Level III thresholds before negotiations protects your petition.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate to filter Staff Designer roles by employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for design occupations. Employers with recent LCA history have an established sponsorship process, which reduces delays after you receive an offer.
Verify the employer's E-Verify enrollment early
If you're on OPT, your employer must be enrolled in E-Verify to authorize STEM OPT extension. Ask HR directly before accepting an offer, since design-heavy agencies and boutique studios frequently skip E-Verify enrollment.
Clarify cap-exempt status for nonprofit and university employers
Design roles at universities, nonprofits, or affiliated research organizations may qualify as cap-exempt, letting your employer file outside the annual H-1B lottery window. Confirm the institution's cap-exempt status with USCIS criteria before counting on that path.
Request premium processing when start date timing is tight
USCIS offers premium processing for H-1B petitions, returning a decision within 15 business days. If your OPT expires close to October 1 or your employer needs a confirmed start date, premium processing removes the uncertainty of standard adjudication timelines.

Find Staff Designer JobsStaff Designer H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Staff Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as graphic design, interaction design, industrial design, or a closely related discipline. Generalist roles listed as requiring any bachelor's degree can face scrutiny. The job description must establish that the degree field is directly tied to the work performed, not just preferred.
How do I find companies that sponsor H-1B visas for Staff Designer positions?
Migrate Mate filters Staff Designer openings by employers with verified H-1B Labor Condition Application filing history, so you're only seeing roles at companies that have actively sponsored design roles before. This is more reliable than scanning general job postings, where sponsorship willingness is rarely stated upfront.
What SOC code applies to Staff Designer roles for the LCA filing?
Most Staff Designer roles are classified under SOC 27-1024 (Graphic Designers) or SOC 15-1255 (Web and Digital Interface Designers), depending on the work's primary focus. Your employer's immigration attorney selects the code, but you can cross-reference your job duties against O*NET profiles for both codes to confirm which is the stronger fit for your petition.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I take a Staff Designer role elsewhere?
Yes. Under H-1B portability rules, you can begin working for a new employer as soon as the new I-129 petition is filed and receipted by USCIS, without waiting for approval. The new employer must file before your current status expires. Your portfolio and role responsibilities must still satisfy specialty occupation requirements at the new company.
What documentation should I prepare to support an H-1B petition for a Staff Designer position?
You'll need official transcripts showing a qualifying degree, a detailed offer letter specifying design duties tied to that degree field, and evidence of any professional credentials or specialized training. If your degree title doesn't directly match the role, a credentials evaluation from a NACES-member organization can establish equivalency. Your employer's attorney assembles the full I-129 package, but your documents are the foundation.
