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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a UX Designer
Pull your O*NET occupation profile first
UX Designer maps to SOC code 15-1255 in O*NET. Print the job zone classification and degree requirements before interviews, you'll need this to support your specialty occupation argument if USCIS issues a Request for Evidence.
Check employer LCA filings on Migrate Mate
Search UX Designer LCA records by employer on Migrate Mate before applying. You'll see which companies have certified prevailing wages for this role and in which metro areas, so you target sponsors with an active filing track record.
Verify your title matches the LCA job description
Employers sometimes post roles as 'Product Designer' or 'Interaction Designer' but file LCAs under a different title. Confirm the LCA job title and SOC code match your actual duties before signing an offer, mismatches can trigger USCIS scrutiny.
Document your portfolio as specialty occupation evidence
USCIS adjudicators reviewing UX Designer petitions often request evidence the role requires a specific degree. Prepare a portfolio summary that links each project to theoretical HCI, cognitive psychology, or design research principles your degree covered.
Ask HR whether the employer uses premium processing
Standard H-1B adjudication can run six months or longer. If you're transitioning from OPT with a tight expiration date, confirm during the offer stage whether the employer will file Form I-907 for 15-business-day premium processing through USCIS.
Understand the prevailing wage level in your metro area
DOL assigns UX Designer wages to four levels based on experience and complexity. Run your prospective work location through the OFLC Wage Search to confirm your offered salary meets at least Level I before your employer certifies the LCA.
H-1B Visa UX Designer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a UX Designer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, when the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field such as human-computer interaction, interaction design, cognitive science, or computer science. Roles described as requiring 'any bachelor's degree' or where design experience substitutes freely for a degree can face USCIS challenges. Your offer letter and job description should tie the degree requirement specifically to the role's responsibilities.
Which employers typically sponsor H-1B visas for UX Designers?
Technology companies, enterprise software firms, fintech companies, and large e-commerce platforms file the highest volume of LCAs for UX Designer roles. Consulting firms that staff digital transformation projects also sponsor regularly. You can browse employers with verified H-1B filing history for UX and product design roles on Migrate Mate, filtered by location and experience level.
What happens to my H-1B status if I switch from a UX Designer role to a product manager role at the same company?
A material change in job duties requires your employer to file an amended H-1B petition with USCIS before the role change takes effect. Moving from UX Designer to product manager involves different SOC codes and prevailing wage levels, so the employer must certify a new LCA with DOL and file the amended I-129. You can continue working in your original role while the amended petition is pending.
Can a UX Designer contractor or agency placement get H-1B sponsorship?
Yes, but the sponsoring employer must be the entity directing and controlling your work. Staffing agencies can file H-1B petitions for UX Designers placed at client sites, but USCIS scrutinizes these arrangements closely. The petitioning employer needs to demonstrate an employer-employee relationship, including the right to hire, fire, and supervise your daily tasks, not just the end client.
How does the H-1B cap lottery affect UX Designers who are not currently on a work visa?
Most UX Designer positions at for-profit companies fall under the annual H-1B cap, which is 85,000 slots total including 20,000 reserved for U.S. master's degree holders. Registration opens in March each year, and selection is by lottery when demand exceeds supply. Cap-exempt employers such as universities, nonprofit research organizations, and certain government entities can file H-1B petitions year-round without lottery registration.
