Green-card filing pattern in this occupation
Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 9 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.
Green-card follow-through: 100%
Of 5 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 0 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 483 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.
Files H-1B transfers
1 transfer filing in the last year, covering 1 worker. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role
- Underneath every repository, every pull request, and every AI-powered workflow is a data infrastructure that has to handle unprecedented scale, stay resilient, and evolve fast enough to power what GitHub can offer next.
- As AI-driven development accelerates, the demands on that infrastructure keep growing, and the data layer is where the most consequential architectural decisions get made.
- We're looking for a Staff Product Manager to join the Data Services team within Platform.
Responsibilities
- Define the strategy for evolving GitHub's data platform portfolio, determining where to scale and optimize existing systems and where adopting modern cloud-native services best serves GitHub's reliability and scale requirements.
- Lead the product definition for GitHub's multi-region data architecture, driving alignment on per-service consistency models, replication strategies, and data-layer failover design and RTO/RPO tradeoffs.
- Drive the product strategy to scale GitHub's data layer by 10x to 100x, ensuring foundational platform capabilities keep pace with AI-accelerated development and next-generation product features.
- Define the data model interaction layer and best practices for internal teams building customer-facing applications and features, so product teams can build on data primitives without needing to be infrastructure experts.
- Over 180 million developers, including more than 90% of the Fortune 100 companies, use GitHub to collaborate, and more than 77,000 organisations have adopted GitHub Copilot.
- GitHub is changing the way the world builds and secures software, and we want you to help build GitHub!
- Over 100 million developers use GitHub to build, ship, and maintain their software.
