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.

Files H-1B transfers

15 transfer filings in the last year, covering 15 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 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.

Responsibilities

  • Directly manage the OP org including EM1s across NYC and Paris, set technical direction, and be the connective tissue across a distributed team
  • Build out the management and technical leadership layers as the org continues to grow - today ~20 ICs

  • Background in distributed systems and high-throughput data infrastructure, enough to guide architectural and build-vs-buy decisions at the domain level
  • Familiar with on-premises or customer-installed software and the operational tradeoffs it introduces - support escalations are more complex, incidents are harder to diagnose, and environments vary enormously
  • A strategic partner to Product - you help set the roadmap, not just execute against it

  • This is a build-and-scale opportunity:
