Position Summary
We’re looking for a multifaceted Principal Experience Designer to join the Medication Management team within our Clinicals product. This role combines hands-on experience design with strategic design leadership, requiring someone who can both shape the long-term direction of our product and translate that vision into thoughtful, effective solutions. Working closely with a multidisciplinary agile R&D team, you’ll develop a deep understanding of the needs and workflows of providers and clinical staff, identify opportunities to improve their experiences, and help drive meaningful improvements that ease the burden on humans in healthcare.
About the Team
The Medication Management (Meds) team develops efficient, intuitive experiences across a system that sends over 17 million prescriptions per month. It provides clinicians with information about patients’ medications and supports medication management and vaccine administration so they can deliver high-quality patient care.

As part of the Meds zone, you’ll work to create more tailored experiences related to ordering and reconciliation, medication list management, and medication adherence, reimagining and optimizing capabilities our users consistently identify as essential to their work.
A successful candidate will embrace the challenge of elevating design within an enterprise product team.

You enjoy finding ways to drive incremental but significant improvements that keep us moving toward a greater long-term vision.

- Guide teams through decisions and tradeoffs related to project scope, design strategy, and implementation, balancing user needs, risks, dependencies, and business constraints.
- Create workflows, journey maps, vision documents, and other artifacts to influence product backlog prioritization and planning.
- Plan and facilitate workshops to interpret research, frame problems, identify opportunities, explore solutions, and align teams on next steps.
- Foster empathy for users through storytelling and compelling, shareable research and design artifacts.
- Help define success criteria and metrics to evaluate design outcomes.
Additional Job Responsibilities
- Proactively build relationships across product teams and organizational boundaries to promote collaboration, cohesion, and consistency across the full user experience.
- Mentor junior designers and guide cross-functional colleagues through design reviews and collaborative problem-solving.
- Contribute to team-wide initiatives that strengthen design processes and practices.
- Adapt to evolving business and team needs with flexibility, initiative, and a willingness to contribute wherever needed to achieve results.
Expected Education & Experience
- 8+ years of professional UX experience.
- Demonstrated ability to influence across functions and product areas, incorporating diverse perspectives while developing and advocating for a clear point of view.
- Deep knowledge of UX practices within agile software development, including ideation, interaction design, user research, and evaluative testing.
- Extensive experience conducting and synthesizing user research, immersing yourself in complex problem spaces, and translating insights into actionable product decisions.
- Strong analytical thinking, problem-framing, and communication skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, consider risks and constraints, and make timely decisions.
- Hands-on experience with or exposure to emerging AI tools, with the ability to explore new tools independently and apply them thoughtfully to accelerate work and create meaningful value.
- Portfolio demonstrating the ability to tell a compelling story about discovering problems, defining solutions, influencing strategy, and collaborating on successful execution.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as an Experience Designer
Frame your portfolio around measurable outcomes
Consular officers and USCIS reviewers assess specialty occupation fit through job duties, not aesthetics. Document each project with the design methods used, the business problem solved, and quantifiable results so your portfolio maps directly to your degree field.
Verify your degree aligns with the role
H-1B specialty occupation requires a degree in a directly related field. Human-computer interaction, interaction design, and cognitive science degrees have the clearest fit. If your degree is in fine arts or graphic design, gather course transcripts that show UX or HCI coursework to support the connection.
Use OFLC Wage Search to anchor your salary ask
Your employer must certify your wage meets the prevailing wage for your location and role before filing the LCA with DOL. Pull the OFLC Wage Search data yourself so you enter salary conversations knowing the Level 1 through Level 4 thresholds for your target city.
Target employers with active LCA filing histories
Use Migrate Mate to find employers with verified Experience Designer LCA sponsorship history, searchable by city and role type. Applying to companies that have filed before cuts the time you spend educating hiring managers about the sponsorship process from scratch.
Ask about research and strategy work in interviews
Experience Designer roles that blend user research, journey mapping, and systems thinking tend to clear the specialty occupation bar more cleanly than purely execution-focused roles. During interviews, confirm whether the position involves independent research or only production work, since that distinction matters for USCIS adjudication.
Clarify who files the I-129 before accepting an offer
Some companies route H-1B filings through external immigration counsel and some handle it internally. Before accepting, confirm the employer has filed H-1B petitions before and ask who manages the I-129 preparation, so there are no surprises about timing or responsibility after you sign.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Experience Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the employer's job description requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specifically related field such as interaction design, human-computer interaction, or cognitive science. Roles that accept any bachelor's degree regardless of field are more likely to face a Request for Evidence from USCIS. Strengthening the degree-to-duties connection in the LCA job description reduces that risk.
Which visa types can sponsor an Experience Designer working in the U.S.?
H-1B is the most common path and requires employer sponsorship, an LCA filed with DOL, and selection in the annual lottery. O-1A is an option if you have demonstrated exceptional ability through awards, publications, or significant contributions to the field. Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying design roles may also explore TN status, though the USMCA profession list is specific about which disciplines qualify.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor Experience Designer visas?
Migrate Mate lists U.S. employers with verified LCA sponsorship history for Experience Designer and related UX roles, searchable by location. Focusing your applications on companies that have already navigated the sponsorship process means you're less likely to encounter employers who decline to hire because they're unfamiliar with the filing requirements.
Does a graphic design or fine arts degree disqualify me from H-1B sponsorship as an Experience Designer?
Not automatically, but it creates a higher bar. USCIS looks for a clear nexus between the degree field and the job duties. If your degree is in graphic design or fine arts, your employer should frame the job description around UX methodology, user research, and systems design rather than visual production. Supplementing with transcripts showing HCI coursework or relevant certifications can also strengthen the petition.
What happens to my H-1B status if my Experience Designer role is eliminated or I am laid off?
You have a 60-day grace period from your last day of employment to find a new sponsoring employer, change to a different visa status, or depart the U.S. Your new employer can file an H-1B transfer petition during this window, and you can begin work once the petition is filed, not just after approval. Acting quickly is essential since the 60-day clock starts on your termination date.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Experience Designer jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
