Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

4 transfer filings in the last year, covering 4 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.

About the role

  • We operate more like a Series B startup than a big-company engineering org: small teams, lots of ownership, a strong bias for shipping and iterating, and very little ceremony.
  • Control is evolving fast, with new products like Login Security (protection for policyholders' identities and inboxes, built on Wirespeed) just released as an MVP, and more on the way for new sets of policyholders.

Responsibilities

  • Ship product fast: Work with Product, Design and Engineering to turn high-level goals into iterative plans, shape scope, and build and refine prototypes quickly, contributing across the stack with depth in backend.
  • Work across lines: Partner with a wide range of teams and departments, and ramp up quickly into owning many technical decisions and their execution.
  • Proven experience as a backend engineer designing and building distributed, event-driven systems and cloud-based services in production, ideally with tools like SQS or Kafka on AWS.
  • Empathy for the people using what you build, though you don't need to come from a company with massive scale.

Requirements

  • Guide others through architectural trade-offs, give thoughtful but quick code reviews, and share what you know.

Nice to have

Skills
