Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~61% per draw at Level IV). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

H-1B wage level

the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry

Level II · 2×
Level I$106,7871 entry
Level II$134,2022 entries
Level III$161,6373 entries
Level IV$189,0514 entries

$11,637 more — $161,637 — moves this role to Level III and 3 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.

Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $161,637 would place this position at wage Level III. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Software Developers (15-1252) · Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. Wage level is derived by USCIS from the offered wage, occupation and worksite; the occupation shown is inferred from the job title.

Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

3 transfer filings in the last year, covering 3 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 721 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

  • Match Group runs some of the most-used apps in the world, including Tinder, Hinge, Match, OkCupid, and Plenty of Fish, for tens of millions of people in 170+ countries.
  • That makes our legal work unusually interesting: privacy for some of the most personal data people share, trust and safety at global scale, AI features shipping into consumer products, and regulation that keeps moving.
  • This role sits at the intersection of legal practice and applied AI, closer to an in-house R&D function than a traditional legal team role.

Responsibilities

  • Develop a clear point of view on what AI can do in a legal context today, what's coming next, and where lawyers must stay firmly in the loop.
  • Build the case for which opportunities are worth investing in, based on impact, feasibility, and legal risk. Prioritize across brands and teams with competing needs.
  • Build, prototype, and ship AI tools and agents
  • Design and build AI-powered tools (assistants, agents, retrieval systems, evaluators) that handle real legal work end-to-end or alongside attorneys.
  • Connect these tools to the data and systems they need (document repositories, knowledge bases, internal sources), working within IT, Security, and Legal Ops-governed infrastructure, not around it.
  • Create documentation, examples, and attorney-facing training that teach both how to use AI tools and where their judgment must remain the decision-maker. This is distinct from Legal Ops training on legal department systems.
  • Coordinate with Legal Operations, IT, Security, and Privacy whenever a tool touches enterprise systems or governance. They own those layers, and anything that touches them needs their involvement.

Requirements

  • No law degree required.
  • Hands-on experience with prompting, agentic workflows, retrieval-augmented generation, evaluations, and the basics of fine-tuning or model selection
  • Experience as a legal engineer, legal AI engineer, legal solutions architect, legal technologist, or applied AI engineer at a law firm, tech company, or AI lab
  • Experience supporting multiple business units or brands with shared tooling
  • No law degree required. Strong candidates for this role come from engineering and product, and from legal backgrounds where they learned to build. Either way, you'll understand how lawyers think well enough to earn their trust.
  • Required
  • 4+ years building, deploying, or applying AI products and tools at an AI-forward tech company, a startup, a law firm innovation team, or in-house, and 2+ years building hands-on with LLMs.
  • Strong technical fluency: building working systems yourself (in code or with AI coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor), working with APIs and data, and reasoning about integrations, permissions, and guardrails
  • A track record of shipping to real users, learning from how they use it, and iterating
  • Excellent communication across legal, technical, and business audiences. You're a teacher who can bridge technical and plain language.
  • Preferred
  • Experience building AI products in regulated, compliance-sensitive, or high-stakes domains (legal, healthcare, financial services, trust & safety)
  • Experience building something new within a defined team, measuring it rigorously, and making the case for broader rollout
