Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 11 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card follow-through: 100%

Of 12 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 0 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 505 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.

DOL often reclassifies their job titles

The Department of Labor assigned a different occupation than this employer requested on 40% of its 15 wage determinations — against a 18% norm. The occupation sets the prevailing wage floor.Reclassification is routine and can reflect genuinely hybrid roles; it is not by itself evidence of underpayment.

Files H-1B transfers

24 transfer filings in the last year, covering 24 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

  • From evolving our in-house access platform to setting guardrails for AI-driven and agentic workflows, your technical leadership will directly impact every team at Verkada.

Responsibilities

  • Own the technical architecture of Verkada's internal access management platform, the system of record for employee, service, and non-human access across company resources.
  • Design, build, and operate highly available, observable backend infrastructure for access provisioning and review, using modern backend languages and cloud-native tooling.
  • Build automation that replaces manual access review and approval workflows, including AI-assisted risk scoring, anomaly detection, and self-service provisioning.
  • Create automated, developer-friendly tools (including chat-based interfaces) that let teams request, approve, and audit access without manual security operations overhead.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and building access management platforms or identity infrastructure from the ground up, rather than administering third-party tools.

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree or equivalent
  • 5+ years of backend engineering or security platform engineering experience

  • Experience implementing role-based, policy-based, or attribute-based access control models.
  • Experience replacing manual operational workflows with automation, ideally including AI or LLM-driven tooling.
  • Experience operating high-availability infrastructure in cloud-native environments (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform).
  • Experience with Okta administration and Okta APIs at scale.
  • Prior experience in a regulated or compliance-heavy environment (FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001).
