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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as an UI UX Designer
Frame your degree as field-specific
H-1B eligibility hinges on whether your role qualifies as a specialty occupation. A degree in human-computer interaction, interaction design, or graphic design maps more cleanly than a general arts degree, so lead with field relevance in every application.
Build a portfolio that speaks to business outcomes
Sponsoring employers need to justify the hire to USCIS. A portfolio that connects design decisions to measurable results, like reduced churn or improved conversion, gives hiring managers a concrete case for petitioning on your behalf.
Target mid-to-large tech companies first
Companies with established immigration programs, including dedicated HR and legal teams, process H-1B petitions far more efficiently than startups. Product-led companies in fintech, healthtech, and enterprise SaaS are consistent UI/UX sponsors worth prioritizing.
Understand the H-1B lottery timing before you apply
H-1B registrations open in March for an October 1 start date. If you're on OPT, confirm your STEM extension eligibility early so you have runway to stay employed through at least one full lottery cycle if you're not selected first.
Consider the O-1A if your work has earned recognition
Designers with awards, published work, speaking credits, or prominent client portfolios may qualify for the O-1A visa for extraordinary ability. It bypasses the lottery entirely and can be filed year-round with a quicker turnaround than H-1B.
Use Migrate Mate to filter for verified sponsors
Not every employer who posts a design role is willing to file an H-1B. Migrate Mate surfaces UI/UX Designer roles from employers with confirmed sponsorship history, so you're not wasting applications on companies that won't move forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a UI/UX Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It depends on how the role is defined. USCIS evaluates whether the position normally requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field. UI/UX roles that require a degree in human-computer interaction, interaction design, or a directly related discipline have a strong case. Roles where any bachelor's degree satisfies the requirement, regardless of field, face more scrutiny and are harder to approve.
What degrees are employers using to support UI/UX H-1B petitions?
The most commonly cited degrees in approved UI/UX H-1B visa petitions include human-computer interaction, interaction design, graphic design, and computer science with a design concentration. Cognitive science and psychology degrees have also been accepted where the employer can demonstrate the field is directly relevant to the role's research and design methodology requirements.
Can I get sponsored as a UI/UX Designer without a traditional four-year degree?
Potentially, but it's harder. USCIS allows three years of relevant work experience to substitute for one year of a bachelor's degree, meaning 12 years of experience can stand in for a full degree. In practice, most employers seeking H-1B sponsorship for design roles prefer candidates with formal degrees because it significantly reduces the risk of a Request for Evidence or denial.
Which types of companies are most likely to sponsor UI/UX Designers?
Product-focused tech companies in enterprise software, fintech, and healthtech are the most consistent sponsors. These employers have established immigration infrastructure and recurring design headcount, making individual sponsorship decisions faster. Browse Migrate Mate to filter UI/UX Designer openings by employers with a verified sponsorship track record rather than guessing from job descriptions alone.
Is the O-1 visa a realistic option for experienced UI/UX Designers?
Yes, for designers who've built a demonstrable record of distinction. Published case studies in recognized design publications, industry awards, conference speaking, or design work for high-profile clients can all support an O-1A petition. The visa has no annual cap or lottery, can be filed at any time of year, and is often processed within two to four months with premium processing.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored UI UX 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.
