Files H-1B transfers

2 transfer filings in the last year, covering 2 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

  • We're looking for a Senior Product Engineer who thrives at the intersection of product and engineering.
  • Serving as a "player-coach," you will act as the engineering counterpart to product management to help with technical roadmapping and sprint execution.

Responsibilities

  • Partner directly with product leadership on architectural decisions, sprint planning and technical execution.
  • Ship focused, user-facing applications and developer tooling end-to-end, owning frontend, backend, and workflow design.
  • Design and build complex workflows around generative models: chained and parallel generation calls, long-running async operations, streaming results, caching, retries, and graceful degradation around inference that takes seconds to minutes.
  • Own the deliverable: you set and hold the quality bar for what ships under your name - correctness, performance, polish, and maintainability - and you review others' work to the same standard.
  • Work directly with users and design partners
  • Fluency with AI-assisted development workflows, grounded in fundamentals strong enough to verify, correct, and own everything you ship - you use the tools to move faster, not to outsource judgment.
  • Experience building products on top of asynchronous, long-latency, or streaming APIs.
  • A product-minded approach: you form opinions about what users need, validate them cheaply, and change course on evidence.
  • Experience building applications around generative image, video, or 3D AI models.
  • Experience working in VFX, gaming, 3D design, or other industries that focus on high-fidelity visual outputs.

Requirements

  • Deep proficiency in modern web application technologies for the frontend (e.g., TypeScript, React) and backend services, with a strong understanding of web architecture

Nice to have

  • While not required, experience in one or more of the following is a strong plus:
  • Experience in 3D graphics programming and shader development, particularly web frameworks such as WebGL and three.js.
  • Fearless Innovator: We need people who thrive on challenges and aren't afraid to tackle the impossible.
  • Resilient Builder: Impacting Large World Models isn't a sprint
  • it's a marathon with hurdles.
  • Mission-Driven Mindset: Everything we do is in service of creating the best spatially intelligent AI systems, and using them to empower people.
  • We need team players who can harness the power of collective intelligence.
  • We're hiring the brightest minds from around the globe to bring diverse perspectives to our cutting-edge work.
