Adobe Design is looking for a rare designer: a visionary, super senior Principal who can help shape how the world's leading organizations work with documents every day.
You will lead and shape design strategy across a growing ecosystem of Adobe Acrobat surfaces, partnerships, and enterprise environments, while bringing the creative power of Adobe Express to everyday knowledge workers around the world. Document Cloud is Adobe's fastest growing cloud, reaching over 650 million monthly active users through products including Acrobat, Sign, Analyzer, and Scan. Our legacy of innovation speaks for itself: TIME's Best Invention two years running, and a Fast Company top 10 spot in Applied AI for 2026.
This is not a role for someone who needs the path clear before they start moving. It is for a designer who operates at the highest level of craft and strategy, thrives in ambiguity, brings rigor to big ideas, and can hold complex systems and the human moment at the same time.
If you are ready to influence how the world works at scale, and leave something lasting behind, we would love to meet you.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Lead the creation of expert-level concepts for future enterprise document workflows using generative AI.
Develop and drive long-term strategies, aligning them with user needs and business objectives.
Visualize ideas through sketches, storyboards, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes.
Actively research and develop new techniques using AI development tools like Cursor, Replit, and Claude Code.
Customer Centricity
Use customer feedback, research, and data to uncover insights and inform decisions.
Bring genuine empathy to every experience, from IT administrators to power users to first-time adopters.
Uphold inclusive, accessible, and respectful development practices.
Relationships, Community, and People
Invest in relationships with partners, collaborators, and users as a core part of your process.
Facilitate design sprints and collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, and creators.
Develop a clear perspective by listening and observing, turning insights into action.
Present and develop communication strategies and concepts for senior executives and partners.
Mentor and foster an inclusive environment that empowers designers to innovate.
Co-define roadmaps and go-to-market strategy with Document Cloud PMs and PMMs, ensuring design influences product direction from inception.
Translate Adobe's broader AI strategy into clear, distinctive document experiences tailored for enterprise personas in legal, finance, HR, and operations.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Must-haves:
- Proven background in developing solutions for enterprise software products.
- A related degree or 8+ years of equivalent experience in product development.
- Demonstrated UX and visual build excellence while creating, evangelizing and shipping strategic initiatives.
- Demonstrated ability to build at the ecosystem level.
- Customer-centric build process.
- Curiosity about AI-powered tools for building and development.
- Experience working in close partnership with product management, engineering, and research.
- Confidence presenting at all organizational levels and superb storytelling skills when presenting to the C-suite.
- Proficiency with Figma and modern prototyping tools.
Nice-to-haves:
- Deep experience working with generative AI-first experiences, LLM-based features, copilots, or agentic flows. Ideally, including document-related tools and/or experience at a SaaS AI native startup.
- Experience developing solutions for user acquisition, onboarding, or adoption within enterprise settings.
- Prior experience in creative agencies or enterprise teams using lean startup methodologies.
- Experience uniting a suite of disparate experiences into a cohesive, high-quality user journey.
Preferred Accessibility Design Skills:
- Experience designing accessible and inclusive interfaces for people with disabilities.
- Familiarity with WCAG standards and testing for accessibility compliance.
- Certifications such as CPACC, WAS, CPWA, or ADS from IAAP are a plus.

Please submit your resume and portfolio. We'd especially love to see:
- How your builds have been influenced by direct connection with enterprise customers and communities.
- How you've applied systems thinking to bring coherence to complex, distributed enterprise experiences.
- Where you've built strong networks across departments, and how that benefited the work.
- How you are currently engaging with or investigating AI tools such as Cursor, Replit, or Claude Code in your work.
- How you lead with empathy, partnership, and calm confidence through ambiguity.
- Where you have developed thoughtful, well-crafted UI for large-scale applications.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as an UI Designer
Verify your degree field matches the role
USCIS scrutinizes UI Designer petitions when the applicant's degree is in an unrelated field like business or communications. Document how your coursework directly maps to user interface work before your employer files.
Pull LCA filings for target employers
Search the OFLC Wage Search by occupation code 15-1255 to see which companies have filed Labor Condition Applications for UI Designer roles. This filters out employers who have never sponsored the position you're applying for.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified sponsors
Search UI Designer roles on Migrate Mate to see employers with confirmed H-1B filing history for this exact occupation. That data comes from DOL LCA disclosures, so you're not guessing about sponsorship willingness.
Check the O*NET profile before your interview
The O*NET profile for UI Designers lists the specialized knowledge and skills USCIS expects for specialty occupation approval. Align your resume and portfolio descriptions to those exact competencies so your employer's petition holds up.
Negotiate your start date around cap timelines
Cap-subject H-1B employment can't begin before October 1. If you're hired before a lottery win, your employer needs to structure your offer around that date or consider whether a cap-exempt entity can bridge the gap.
Request premium processing if your start date is tight
Standard H-1B adjudication can run several months. If your visa or OPT cap-gap window is close to expiring, ask your employer to file Form I-907 for premium processing so USCIS responds within 15 business days.
H-1B Visa UI Designer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a UI Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, if the position genuinely requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field such as interaction design, human-computer interaction, or visual communication. USCIS will review the job duties and the employer's own requirements. Roles that list a degree as preferred rather than required can face requests for evidence, so the job description wording matters.
How do I find employers who have actually sponsored H-1B visas for UI Designers?
DOL publishes Labor Condition Application data for every H-1B petition filed. You can search that data by occupation code on the OFLC Wage Search, or browse verified H-1B sponsors for UI Designer roles directly on Migrate Mate, which surfaces employer filing history by job title so you can target companies with a real track record.
Can a design agency or staffing firm sponsor my H-1B as a UI Designer?
Staffing and consulting arrangements face heightened USCIS scrutiny for H-1B specialty occupation petitions. The employer must demonstrate that the worksite requirements consistently demand a specialized degree. A direct hire at a product company or an in-house design team generally produces a cleaner petition than a third-party placement, though agency sponsorships do get approved when documented correctly.
What documentation should I prepare to support my employer's H-1B petition for a UI Designer role?
Your employer's attorney will need your official transcripts, a credential evaluation if your degree is from outside the U.S., and evidence that your degree field aligns with the specific duties in the job description. A strong portfolio that maps to the O*NET competencies for UI Designers can also help support the specialty occupation argument if USCIS issues a request for evidence.
What happens to my H-1B status if I change employers or move to a new UI Designer role?
H-1B portability under AC21 lets you start working for a new employer once they file a new petition, as long as your prior petition was approved and you've been in valid H-1B status. The new employer must file before your current authorized period ends. Any change in job duties, location, or employment level requires a new or amended petition filed with USCIS.
