Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. For the first time ever, you can manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.
Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can hire a new employee anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365—all within 90 seconds.
Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.4B+ from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes.
We prioritize candidate safety. Please be aware that all official communication will only be sent from @Rippling.com addresses.
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.
For hourly employees and their managers, mobile isn't a secondary surface — it's the surface. These employees aren't opening laptops. They're checking their schedule on a break, approving shift swaps from the parking lot, clocking out from their phone. If the mobile experience isn't excellent, the product fails for this entire customer segment.
This role owns the full Time mobile experience plus the Timeclock app, which means full ownership of two high-usage products. The design constraints are challenging: you need to be fast, clear, and compliant in a context where attention is minimal and stakes are high. Additionally, Rippling is making a deliberate push to bring AI-powered workflows to employees, not just admins, and Mobile is where that lands for hourly workers. Since Time is the biggest driver of Rippling app usage, the quality bar this person sets will raise our mobile standards across the board.
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 outcomes 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 mobile-first product experiences for modern workforce management — including clock-in/out flows, schedule views, shift swaps, break tracking, timecard approvals, and the Timeclock kiosk app.
- Define what great mobile looks like at Rippling by establishing patterns, interaction standards, and quality benchmarks that extend beyond Time into the broader platform.
- 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.
- Develop a hands-on understanding of evolving AI capabilities by building with it, and bringing the knowledge into your product and design decision.
- Prototype with AI-assisted tools to make ideas tangible quickly, explore realistic interactions, and validate solutions through working flows rather than static mocks alone.
What you will need
- 6+ years of end-to-end product design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating strong mobile craft 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.
- Exceptional communication skills, making abstract concepts understandable and guiding cross-functional partners through decisions.
- A relentless customer focus and desire to dig deep to understand real user needs and translate them into design decisions that solve real problems.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Product Design Lead Jobs
Verify your design credentials meet specialty occupation
Product Design Lead roles require a degree directly related to the work, not just any bachelor's. Check the O*NET occupation profile for SOC code 27-1021 to confirm your UX, industrial design, or HCI qualification aligns before applying.
Target employers with active LCA filings
Use Migrate Mate to filter Product Design Lead roles by employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for design and creative occupations, so you're targeting companies already familiar with H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship processes.
Request an LCA before your consulate appointment
Your employer files the LCA with DOL before your consulate interview, not after. Confirm certification timing early because the LCA must be approved and posted for ten business days before your application can proceed.
Check prevailing wage against your offered salary
Run your job title and work location through the OFLC Wage Search before accepting an offer. Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the prevailing rate for Product Design Lead roles in that metro area.
Prepare a portfolio demonstrating specialty-level contribution
Consular officers assess whether you're performing work requiring a specialized degree. Bring documented evidence of systems-level design leadership, cross-functional ownership, and strategic scope, not just execution samples from individual contributor projects.
Plan your entry timing around the two-year renewal cycle
H-1B1 Singapore status is granted in one-year increments at the port of entry, renewable without a hard cap. Coordinate with your employer on renewal paperwork timelines so your authorization doesn't lapse between design project cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Product Design Lead role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, if the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as industrial design, UX design, human-computer interaction, or a closely related discipline. Generic leadership experience alone doesn't qualify. Your employer documents the degree requirement in the LCA, and the consular officer confirms the match between your credential and the specific role.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa differ from the H-1B for Product Design Lead roles?
The H-1B1 Singapore visa has no lottery and no USCIS petition requirement. You apply directly at the U.S. consulate in Singapore with an approved LCA from DOL. The H-1B visa requires USCIS approval and a lottery selection that caps registrations annually. For Product Design Lead candidates, the H-1B1 path is faster and more predictable once an employer files the LCA.
How can I find Product Design Lead employers who sponsor H-1B1 Singapore visas?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by employers with verified LCA filing history for design and creative roles, so you're not cold-applying to companies unfamiliar with H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship. This shortens the employer education phase significantly and connects you with teams who understand the consulate-based process.
Can I switch employers after starting a Product Design Lead role on H-1B1 Singapore status?
Yes, but your new employer must file a new LCA and you'll need to apply for a new H-1B1 visa stamp at the consulate before re-entering the U.S. or during a trip abroad. There's no H-1B portability provision for H-1B1, so plan the transition timeline with your employer to avoid gaps in authorization.
What documents should I bring to the consulate interview for a Product Design Lead H-1B1 application?
Bring the certified LCA, your job offer letter specifying the Product Design Lead title and responsibilities, degree transcripts and credentials in UX or design, your portfolio or work samples demonstrating specialty-level contribution, DS-160 confirmation, and your passport. The officer will assess whether your qualifications directly support the specialty occupation classification listed on the LCA.
