At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock human performance and extend healthspan, the years we spend truly well. While longevity is typically measured in years, life is measured in moments. WHOOP empowers members with a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives, turning data like sleep, recovery, and strain, alongside clinician-reviewed insights from our Advanced Labs offering, into guidance that helps them live better, not just longer.
As a Product Designer II on WHOOP’s Health Team, you will help answer some of the hardest questions at the intersection of wellness and healthcare. This is a design role that will be expected to flex between new product initiatives and improving existing features. At WHOOP we’re rethinking how healthcare is experienced, moving beyond traditional, reactive models towards care experiences that are increasingly accessible, integrated, continuous, and proactive.
You’ll collaborate closely with designers and a strong network of cross-functional partners to tackle problems that have historically taken years to solve in healthcare and bring them to life in months.
Working alongside product, engineering, and digital health teams, you’ll help create entirely new ways for members to interact with their health data and the broader healthcare system. This is an opportunity to take on ambitious, foundational work with the support of an experienced team as you explore how to help members manage their health in ways that were previously unthinkable.
In doing so, you’ll contribute to WHOOP’s vision of becoming the world’s first health operating system: A system that surfaces hidden biological disruptions, predicts them before they become crises, and enables timely intervention to reduce risk and deliver care.
Responsibilities:
- Contribute to the design of mobile experiences for WHOOP, demonstrating knowledge of iOS and Android design best practices to deliver intuitive, high-quality, and platform-native interfaces
- Prioritize and respond to fast-evolving health initiatives with a flexible, experiment-oriented mindset, executing rapidly while upholding a high bar for quality
- Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, marketers, and other designers to craft thoughtful, compelling solutions rooted in both data and creativity
- Stay attuned to customer behavior and needs by running user testing and leveraging insights to inform design improvements
- Conduct A/B testing to explore new ideas, validate user experience designs, and promote a culture of continuous learning and innovation
- Think in systems, drive ideas from concept to execution, advocate for your perspective, and shape solutions where no clear precedents exist
- Utilize a diverse array of traditional design techniques, while embracing AI workflows to accelerate iteration, expand creative exploration, and effectively communicate your vision to both team members and stakeholders
QUALIFICATIONS
- A compelling portfolio showcasing mobile app designs, particularly in health, wellness, or fitness, with an emphasis on direct contributions and measurable impact
- Deep expertise with modern design tools and workflows, including Figma auto-layout, variables, and libraries, with an eagerness to evolve alongside a rapidly changing landscape and adopt new tools that enhance execution
- Demonstrated bias for action, with a focus on speed, iteration, and clear communication in a fast-paced product environment
- Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to clearly articulate design rationale, align stakeholders, and drive momentum around shared goals
- Demonstrated experience leveraging AI tools in day-to-day design workflows to accelerate iteration and execution, while maintaining a high bar for quality in all outputs
- Strong understanding of iOS and Android design patterns, with the ability to create platform-native experiences while maintaining consistency across systems
- Strong writing skills, with the ability to use language as a design tool to clarify complex concepts, guide user behavior, and elevate the overall product experience
- Passion for health and fitness, with a drive to help people better understand their bodies and live healthier lives.
- Extra Credit: Experience in a creative agency, with a high bar for visual craft in digital products, including typography, color, layout, and interaction design

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.
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.

Find UI UX Designer JobsFrequently 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 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.
