Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 17 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card follow-through: 95%

Of 19 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 1 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 485 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

5 transfer filings in the last year, covering 5 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

  • Lead team design reviews, ensuring proposed solutions avoid unnecessary complexity and align with Remitly's long-term architecture plans; frame build-vs-buy decisions and assess new technologies for feasibility.
  • Make AI-assisted, spec-driven development (Claude Code, Codex, and similar agents) a core part of how you and the team work - designing team-level standards for AI-assisted development, identifying where AI delivers durable gains, and advising management on how AI adoption changes capacity and estimation.
  • Uphold and contribute to the evolution of our Foundational Excellence standards for security, reliability, and observability; mitigate long-term risks caused by complexity before they become incidents.
