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
- the shared infrastructure as code (IaC), networking, storage, compute, and service mesh platforms that Replit's product and platform teams depend on.
Responsibilities
- Own the cloud-platform roadmap.
- Lead the team's IaC, networking, storage, compute, and service mesh platforms.
- Build maintained IaC interfaces for services, cells, connectivity, identities, and shared resources.
- 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 infrastructure changes.
- Build and grow a high-ownership engineering team. Coach engineers, develop technical leaders, set clear expectations, manage performance, and hire against agreed needs. Delegate meaningful ownership as the team grows.
- Operate what the team builds.
- Own platform availability, upgrades, isolation, recovery, and incident remediation.
Requirements
- The infrastructure underneath that experience must make it straightforward to launch services, isolate workloads, and run reliable systems at scale.
- 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 cloud platforms or distributed systems and can reason across infrastructure code, Kubernetes, networking, service identity, and stateful dependencies.
- You have owned consequential migrations and incidents, can explain failure modes and rollback limits, and know when simplifying a system is better than adding another platform.
Nice to have
- Experience with multi-tenant, cellular, regional, or dedicated enterprise infrastructure.
- Familiarity with GCP/GKE, Terraform or similar IaC systems, Cloudflare, Envoy/Istio, SPIFFE/SPIRE, and managed data services.
- Experience with large-fleet rightsizing, infrastructure consolidation, or migrating CI compute without disrupting developer workflows.
- A track record using AI tools to increase engineering output while preserving production safeguards.
