About The Role
Nearly half of the U.S. workforce is hourly: healthcare workers, retail associates, manufacturing teams, restaurant staff, and more. These are the people who keep the world running, and serving them is one of Rippling’s largest and most important bets. Hourly workforce management is deceptively complex. Behind every schedule, shift change, timecard, break rule, and approval flow is a dense web of compliance requirements, business context, operational constraints, and real human impact. The work is not abstract: the product decisions we make affect people’s pay, hours, routines, and trust in their employer. That is exactly why AI is such a powerful design challenge here: it can help admins move faster, understand complexity, and make better decisions. How do you keep AI features transparent and grounded as policies, exceptions, and edge cases stack up? How do you design oversight so admins feel in control, not out of the loop? For consequential actions, what is the right checkpoint between automation and human judgment? As a designer on this team, you will work on some of Rippling’s most important product problems. You will define ambiguous opportunities, shape product direction, prototype deeply, and own outcome from end-to-end. Designers at Rippling are product builders, and AI is part of how we build: from early thinking to prototyping to what ships to customers.
What You Will Do
- Design exceptional product experiences for modern workforce management across forecasting, scheduling, time and attendance, team communication, and the operational workflows that connect them.
- Get close to customers to understand how managers and admins actually run hourly teams: where workflows break, where complexity hides, and where better design can drive real business impact.
- Design scalable capabilities and platform patterns that work for multiple products, customer segments, and use cases, creating coherent experiences across Rippling’s broader platform.
- Use AI as a core part of your design process to clarify problem spaces, generate and refine requirements, explore edge cases, and pressure-test solutions before they reach production.
- Prototype with AI-assisted tools to make ideas tangible quickly, explore realistic interactions, and validate solutions through working flows rather than static mocks alone.
- Develop a hands-on understanding of evolving AI capabilities by building with it, and bringing the knowledge into your product and design decisions.
What You Will Need
- 6+ years of end-to-end product design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating systems design and complex product delivery.
- Active use of LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) in your design workflow, whether for research, requirements, copy, or exploration.
- Comfort with AI-assisted prototyping tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar), even if you're not writing production code.
- A strong eye for craft, both interaction and visual, with the ability to set a high bar and drive quality across teams.
- A relentless customer focus and desire to dig deep to understand real user needs and translate them into design decisions that solve real problems.
- Exceptional communication skills, making abstract concepts understandable and guiding cross-functional partners through tough decisions.

Align your portfolio to specialty occupation standards
H-1B1 Chile requires your role to qualify as a specialty occupation. Pull the O*NET profile for Product Design Lead and document how your portfolio demonstrates bachelor's-level design knowledge, not just creative output or team management.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use the OFLC Wage Search to identify companies that have recently certified Labor Condition Applications for design leadership roles. Employers already in the LCA system understand the H-1B1 Chile filing process and won't need educating on consulate-route sponsorship.
Search H-1B1 Chile sponsor roles on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified H-1B1 Chile filing history filtered by occupation, so you're applying to companies that have already sponsored Chilean nationals rather than hoping a recruiter knows the visa exists.
Get your Chilean credentials evaluated before outreach
A Chilean design degree title or professional certification that doesn't map cleanly to a U.S. bachelor's in a specific field can slow your LCA. Order a credential evaluation before your first recruiter conversation so you can present equivalency documentation immediately.
Confirm your offer letter specifies the H-1B1 Chile route
Many U.S. employers default to H-1B visa sponsorship language in offer letters. Ask HR to confirm your offer references the H-1B1 Chile classification specifically, since the LCA and DS-160 process differs from the standard H-1B visa petition pathway.
Request the LCA before scheduling your consulate appointment
DOL must certify your employer's Labor Condition Application before you can apply at the consulate. Don't book your visa interview until you have the certified LCA in hand, or you'll arrive without a required document.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Product Design Lead role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Chile?
Yes, if the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as industrial design, interaction design, or a closely related discipline. The employer documents this requirement in the Labor Condition Application. Roles framed as general creative leadership without a specific degree requirement can face scrutiny, so the job description needs to reflect the educational standard USCIS and DOL expect.
How does H-1B1 Chile differ from H-1B for Product Design Lead sponsorship?
H-1B1 Chile has no lottery, no USCIS petition, and uses consulate processing under the U.S.-Chile Free Trade Agreement. The 1,400 annual cap has historically gone unused, so timing isn't a barrier the way it is with H-1B. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 Chile doesn't allow dual intent, meaning you can't simultaneously pursue permanent residence on this status without careful planning.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B1 Chile visas for design leadership roles?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by verified H-1B1 Chile filing history, so you can focus on companies that have already sponsored Chilean nationals in design occupations rather than cold-pitching sponsorship to employers unfamiliar with the consulate-route process. Most general job searches don't surface H-1B1 Chile sponsorship as a distinct filter, which makes targeted searches significantly more efficient.
Can I switch employers after starting work on an H-1B1 Chile visa as a Product Design Lead?
Yes, but the new employer must file a fresh Labor Condition Application and you'll need to return to the consulate for a new visa stamp reflecting the updated employer. Unlike H-1B portability under AC21, there's no continuation of authorized status while a new petition is pending. Plan the transition timeline carefully so there's no gap in your employment authorization.
What happens if my Product Design Lead H-1B1 Chile visa expires while I'm still employed?
H-1B1 Chile visas are issued in two-year increments and can be renewed indefinitely as long as you maintain qualifying employment and your employer recertifies the LCA. You renew at the consulate, not through USCIS, so you'll need a valid job offer, a new certified LCA, and a current DS-160. Start the renewal process well before your stamp expires to avoid travel disruptions.
