from this employer's Department of Labor filings
Files H-1B transfers
18 transfer filings in the last year, covering 18 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role
- You'll help teams ship safely, understand production behavior, and remove performance bottlenecks through concrete engineering improvements.
Responsibilities
- Observability. Build and operate metrics, logs, traces, and alerting capabilities. Help teams establish meaningful SLOs and use production telemetry to diagnose problems and verify improvements.
- Incident Management. Own incident tooling and practices, coordinate cross-team response, and turn incident reviews into engineering improvements that reduce recovery time and repeat failures.
- Load Testing. Build and maintain load/failure testing capabilities. Validate critical paths under expected demand, quantify headroom, and test recovery and production readiness with service owners.
- Performance Engineering. Lead deep engagements with internal teams on SLOs and end-to-end performance. Use profiling, telemetry, and load tests to identify bottlenecks and deliver improvements with service owners-not just recommendations.
- Stay technically engaged. Review designs and production changes, debug difficult failure modes, and use AI coding tools-including Replit-to prototype and automate. Apply rigorous review and verification to AI-generated changes.
- Build and operate metrics, logs, traces, and alerting capabilities.
- Build and grow a high-ownership engineering team.
- Coach engineers, develop technical leaders, manage performance, and hire against agreed needs.
- Agree success measures and continuing ownership with partner teams.
Requirements
- You have led and developed engineers, made prioritization and performance decisions, hired thoughtfully, and delivered through a team-not only acted as its strongest individual contributor.
- You have built and operated distributed systems or reliability platforms and can reason across deployment behavior, Kubernetes, telemetry, service dependencies, and recovery mechanisms.
- You have led consequential migrations or incidents and used measurement to diagnose reliability or performance problems.
Nice to have
- Experience with GitOps or progressive-delivery platforms such as Harness, ArgoCD, or Kargo.
- Experience with observability, profiling, load-testing, and failure-testing systems, including OpenTelemetry or comparable tooling.
- Experience with cloud cost attribution, capacity planning, and provider coordination, particularly on GCP.
- Experience growing distributed teams and using AI tools to increase engineering output while preserving production safeguards.
- 💹 401(k) Program with a 4% match (US Only)
- 🧑💻 Autonomous Work Environment
- 🚀 Quarterly Team Gatherings
- ☕ In Office Amenities (In-Office Only)
Compensation
- 💰 Competitive Salary & Equity
Benefits
- Make distributed collaboration, mentoring, and backup coverage deliberate rather than relying on a few permanent escalation points.
- Track rollout safety, recovery time, repeat incidents, critical-path latency/throughput, test coverage, and improvements arising from cost/capacity analysis.
