We're looking for an AI forward, Senior Product Designer to help shape the interfaces and experiences that millions of customers use to shop, browse, and engage with GameStop's online ecommerce experiences, and internal tools.
You'll own design execution across high-visibility workstreams, translating customer needs and business goals into interfaces that are simple, consistent, and delightful to use. You're customer-obsessed by instinct — you go looking for the "why" behind a design problem through direct customer interviews, surveys, and usability research, and you turn what you hear into clear design decisions.
You're mega comfortable putting AI to work in your process — using it to speed up exploration, synthesize research findings, generate variations, and free up more time for the craft and judgment only a designer can bring.
This position sits onsite 5 days a week in Grapevine, TX.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Key Responsibilities
Design Execution & Craft:
- As a senior voice on the team, you'll help raise the bar on design quality while contributing to the broader product design strategy and roadmap.
- Produce rapid prototypes — including working code prototypes built with AI tools — to test concepts and de-risk decisions before they reach engineering.
- Shape, build on, and apply our design systems to keep experiences consistent across surfaces.
- Design engaging, intuitive interfaces for web and mobile that solve customer problems with elegant simplicity.
Customer Research & Insights:
- Plan and conduct customer interviews and surveys to uncover pain points, motivations, and unmet needs.
- Turn qualitative and quantitative research findings into insights that inform design direction and priorities.
- Partner with research and analytics partners to validate designs through usability testing and iterate based on findings.
- Bring the voice of the customer into every stage of the design process, from ideation through launch.
AI-Enabled Design:
- Use AI to move faster on research synthesis, ideation, and design exploration.
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements).
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews).
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Partner with product managers, engineers, brand designers, and other stakeholders to deliver on brand goals, business goals, and technical feasibility.
- Serve as a subject matter expert for the design team, providing guidance and socializing best practices.
- Drive a sense of urgency using lean and agile techniques to rapidly deliver work.
- Communicate design rationale clearly and build alignment across cross-functional teams.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Qualifications & Experience
Required
- 5+ years of experience in UI design for B2C consumer products, with a current portfolio showcasing depth and breadth of individual contribution.
- Strong background in retail or e-commerce design.
- Strong expertise designing modern, delightful applications for web and mobile.
- Experience shaping, building, and applying design systems.
- Mastery of Figma and familiarity with other modern design and prototyping tools.
- Hands-on experience running customer interviews and surveys, and turning findings into design decisions.
- Portfolio evidence of using AI to build highly detailed, interactive prototypes — with real or simulated data — that solve real customer problems, not just illustrate a concept.
- Uses AI to diverge into a wide range of solution directions, then applies design systems rigor to converge that exploration into consistent, production-ready patterns.
- Has automated meaningful parts of their own workflow with AI to multiply output — and can speak concretely to what, how, and the impact.
- Comfortable working directly in code repositories — familiar with git fundamentals (branches, commits, PRs/MRs) and confident opening pull requests for engineering review.
- Proactive collaborator and communicator within large, cross-functional teams, with rigorous attention to detail and a proven track record of driving toward clarity in ambiguous, resource-constrained environments — comfortable pivoting quickly as priorities shift.
Preferred
- Experience running structured research programs (interview panels, longitudinal surveys, diary studies).
- Experience contributing prototype code to production repositories, beyond throwaway concepts.
- Experience mentoring or providing design direction to other designers.
WHY JOIN US
- High-visibility workstreams that directly shape customer experience and business results.
- Design the future of GameStop alongside the highest level members of the company.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as an UI Designer
Target product companies over agencies
Product-focused tech companies sponsor H-1B visas far more consistently than creative agencies. Agencies often classify UI roles as contract work, which complicates sponsorship. Focus on companies with dedicated product and design teams where full-time headcount is the norm.
Frame your degree as a specialty occupation qualifier
USCIS requires a specific degree for the role, not just any bachelor's. A degree in interaction design, HCI, graphic design, or computer science strengthens your H-1B petition. Highlight the direct connection between your coursework and the UI design responsibilities in the job description.
Build a portfolio that justifies immigration cost
Sponsoring a visa costs employers thousands in legal and filing fees. Your portfolio needs to demonstrate measurable impact, not just visual polish. Include case studies with before-and-after metrics, usability testing results, or conversion improvements that make the business case for hiring you specifically.
Get Figma and design system experience on your resume
Employers sponsoring H-1B UI Designer roles expect proficiency in Figma, design systems, and component libraries as non-negotiable. These specifics help establish the specialty occupation argument by showing the role requires specialized skills beyond generalist design knowledge.
Consider O-1A if you have industry recognition
If you've won design awards, spoken at conferences, published work, or led high-profile product launches, the O-1A visa bypasses the H-1B lottery entirely. It requires demonstrating extraordinary ability, but for senior UI designers with verifiable recognition, it can be a more reliable path.
Ask about sponsorship timing before the final interview
H-1B cap-subject petitions are filed in April for October start dates. If you're interviewing in summer, confirm the employer will wait or can use a cap-exempt route. Misaligned timelines are one of the most common reasons sponsorship conversations break down at the offer stage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a UI Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, but it depends on how the job description is written. USCIS requires the role to normally require a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field, not just any degree. A UI Designer position tied to a degree in interaction design, HCI, or graphic design qualifies. Roles described as requiring only general design experience without a specific field are vulnerable to RFEs and denials.
What degree do I need to support an H-1B petition as a UI Designer?
A bachelor's degree in interaction design, human-computer interaction, graphic design, visual communication, or computer science is most defensible. Degrees in unrelated fields can still work if you pair them with relevant graduate coursework or if the job description maps closely to your area of study. USCIS evaluates the degree-to-role relationship, not just the credential itself.
How do I find UI Designer jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically for roles open to visa sponsorship, so you're not wading through postings that exclude international applicants. Sponsoring employers in UI design tend to be mid-to-large product companies or well-funded startups with established HR processes. Searching by company size and product focus helps narrow to employers who sponsor consistently.
Are UI Designer roles more likely to get H-1B RFEs than other design jobs?
UI Designer and UX Designer roles have historically attracted more USCIS scrutiny than narrower titles like UX Researcher or Product Designer with an engineering focus. The concern is whether the role truly requires a specific degree or just general creativity. Strong job descriptions that tie UI responsibilities to formal design principles and methodologies reduce RFE risk significantly.
Can a UI Designer get sponsored on an O-1 visa instead of H-1B?
Yes, and for senior designers it can be a stronger option. The O-1A requires evidence of extraordinary ability, awards, published work, high-profile project credits, speaking engagements, or significant salary relative to peers. It has no lottery and no annual cap. The bar is genuinely high, but established UI designers with recognizable work in their portfolio have cleared it successfully.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored 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.
