At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.
The Role
The Netflix Advertising Experience Design (XD) team is looking for a Senior Product Designer for AI Enablement to join our Foundations team. This is a high-impact, horizontal role for a systems thinker and AI-native designer who’s ready to redefine the boundaries of the craft. The center of gravity for design is shifting from producing individual screens to owning the underlying systems that both engineers and AI build upon.
In this role, you’ll architect the paved paths for agentic platform experiences across the Netflix Ads Suite (NAS). As a key design leader in the AI pillar of Foundations, you’ll look beyond individual features to define the patterns, workflows, and intelligent infrastructure that empower our vertical squads to integrate AI seamlessly. Your work will ensure our platform remains resilient, ethical, and built for scale.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with Foundations Experience Design (XD) and Content Design (CD) leads to define the systems architecture for an intelligent UI library. You’ll establish scalable patterns for chat interfaces, agentic feedback loops, and human-in-the-loop interventions, ensuring the entire library is supported by machine-consumable documentation, schemas, and metadata that enable AI services to reliably learn from and properly ingest our design system.
- Partner with Engineering to operationalize agentic workflows that automate high-friction tasks for key customers and internal users across the platform.
- Utilize AI-assisted workflows to normalize legacy UI. You’ll refactor scattered documentation into a single, structured model that serves as the source of truth for both humans and AI.
- Use AI-assisted coding and prototyping tools to build high-fidelity, functional proof-of-concepts that demonstrate complex interactions, such as intent-based orchestration and multimodal inputs.
- Serve as the steward of quality and human gatekeeper for AI-generated outputs. You’ll ensure that agentic behaviors align with our team’s quality values and standards for trust and usability.
- Mentor the broader design organization on AI fluency. You’ll help the team move toward workflows that orchestrate how things are built rather than focusing on static artifacts.
- Act as a strategic bridge between Product Design and Machine Learning Engineering partners to ensure the platform infrastructure is technically feasible, vision-aligned, and performance-optimized.
Key Qualifications
- 5 to 7 or more years of experience in product design with a proven track record of shipping complex systems architecture or foundational infrastructure.
- Outstanding proficiency in the modern AI stack (including, but not limited to, LLMs and media generation models) with a focus on using AI to augment the construction and maintenance of design systems.
- A growing understanding of agentic systems and agentic architectures (reusable workflows, standardized live data, safety guardrails, context isolation, long-term context, etc.)
- Agility in adopting emerging design workflows and AI-native environments such as Cursor or Claude Code. You’re ready to redefine the traditional design-to-engineering handoff through functional, systems-oriented output.
- Deep understanding of how design systems and platform architectures scale, specifically regarding components that handle dynamic or non-deterministic content.
- Ability to exercise high-level judgment on when to automate via AI versus when to protect human-led coherence in the end-to-end user journey.
- Experience navigating the ambiguity of emerging tech to move from high-level North Star visions to lean, implementable solutions with platform-wide impact.
Preferred Skills
- Experience in the AdTech and Enterprise B2B ecosystems.
- Proficiency in structured content modeling and the ability to leverage AI to write functional code in React, HTML, or CSS for platform tooling.
- Hands-on expertise in prompt engineering, AI-augmented design workflows, and the implementation of emerging patterns like intent-based navigation.
- Knowledge of AI ethics and accessibility standards as they relate to automated systems and platform workflows.
Why Netflix?
Our Advertising Experience Design (XD) team is at the forefront of shaping the future of entertainment and advertising. This is a unique opportunity for an AI-native systems thinker to define the architectural foundations that’ll power Netflix Ads over the next decade. If you’re passionate about design scaling and building the AI-ready infrastructure of the future, we’d love to talk to you.
Generally, our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses. You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options. To determine your personal top of market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. The range for this role is $350,000.00 - $520,000.00.
Netflix provides comprehensive benefits including Health Plans, Mental Health support, a 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match, Stock Option Program, Disability Programs, Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts, Family-forming benefits, and Life and Serious Injury Benefits. We also offer paid leave of absence programs. Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off to be used for vacation, holidays, and sick paid time off.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Senior UX UI Designer
Lead with your portfolio, not your resume
Hiring managers for senior design roles make sponsorship decisions based on portfolio quality. Case studies showing measurable impact, such as improved conversion rates or reduced user error, signal the specialized expertise employers need to justify an H-1B petition.
Target companies with established design teams
Employers with in-house design organizations understand the specialty occupation argument for UX/UI roles. Startups without a dedicated design function may struggle to articulate why a degree-specific hire is necessary, which weakens the LCA and H-1B petition.
Clarify your degree field early in conversations
H-1B eligibility for UX/UI designers depends on whether your degree aligns with the role. Degrees in Human-Computer Interaction, Graphic Design, or Computer Science are strongest. Unrelated degrees require demonstrating three years of experience per missing year of education.
Emphasize cross-functional leadership in your application
Senior UX/UI roles that involve leading design systems, mentoring teams, or owning product strategy are easier to classify as specialty occupations. Framing your experience around strategic ownership strengthens the employer's case when filing with USCIS.
Ask about the LCA before accepting an offer
The Labor Condition Application locks in your work location and wage level before your H-1B petition is filed. Confirm the employer understands this process and has filed LCAs before, ideally with immigration counsel already engaged to avoid delays.
Consider O-1A if you have strong industry recognition
Senior designers with published work, conference speaking credits, design awards, or peer judging experience may qualify for the O-1A visa, which has no lottery. This bypasses H-1B selection risk entirely and can be filed at any time of year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior UX/UI Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B?
Yes, but the framing matters. USCIS requires that the position normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Senior UX/UI roles tied to Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, or Computer Science typically meet this bar. Generalist job descriptions that list any bachelor's degree as sufficient are more likely to face a Request for Evidence, so the job offer letter and LCA need to specify the degree field clearly.
What degree do I need to get H-1B sponsorship as a Senior UX/UI Designer?
A bachelor's degree or higher in Human-Computer Interaction, Graphic Design, Interaction Design, Visual Communication, or Computer Science is most defensible. An unrelated degree doesn't automatically disqualify you. USCIS allows three years of relevant work experience to substitute for each missing year of formal education, so a two-year degree plus six years of UX/UI work can satisfy the requirement.
Which types of employers are most likely to sponsor a Senior UX/UI Designer?
Large technology companies, enterprise software firms, and product-led startups with dedicated design functions are the most consistent sponsors for senior design roles. Companies that have previously filed H-1B visa petitions for designers are the strongest targets, since they already have immigration processes in place. Browse Senior UX/UI Designer roles with confirmed sponsorship on Migrate Mate to identify employers actively hiring international designers.
How does the H-1B lottery affect my chances as a Senior UX/UI Designer?
The H-1B cap applies to most private-sector employers, and selection is random within two pools: the general cap and the U.S. master's degree exemption. If you hold a U.S. master's degree, you get two chances at selection. Employers can file in April for an October 1 start date. If you're not selected, options include reapplying next cycle, pursuing the O-1A if you have strong industry credentials, or targeting cap-exempt employers such as universities and nonprofit research institutions.
Can I get H-1B sponsorship as a Senior UX/UI Designer if my work is fully remote?
Yes, but remote work creates additional compliance steps for the employer. The LCA must cover every location where you perform work, which for remote employees typically means your home address. If you move states, the employer must file an amended LCA. Some employers restrict sponsorship to candidates in specific states to limit this administrative burden, so it's worth confirming their remote work policy before beginning the sponsorship process.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Senior UX UI 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.
