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

  • Community Intelligence is a new engineering team at OpenGov, based in our Boston office, chartered with bringing next-generation physical-world sensing and AI-based detection into our Community Operations suite.
  • AI-native tooling is expected to be embedded in your workflow.
  • Architect the automated detection-to-case pipeline that turns a sensing detection into a properly routed record in the right product's workflow engine, complete with photo evidence, GPS coordinates, and a severity score.

Responsibilities

  • These solutions come together in the OpenGov ERP, allowing public sector organizations to focus on priorities and deliver maximum ROI with every dollar and decision in sync.
  • As a founding Staff Software Engineer on this team, you will design and build the systems that turn raw sensor data into structured records, condition assessments, and automated workflows across multiple products.
  • Design and build the sensing-platform connector/adapter layer that maps LiDAR- and imagery-derived asset detections into OpenGov Products
  • Design the data model and storage layer for a continuously updated spatial data that all five Community Operations products read from and contribute to.
  • Own the technical design for a tiered sensing-ingestion model (satellite, fleet-vehicle camera, full LiDAR survey) supporting different refresh cadences, accuracy levels, and price points.
  • Write clear technical design docs that AI tooling can execute against; review and own AI-generated code for correctness, security, and architectural fit.
  • Partner with engineering and product leads across OpenGov products to sequence the sensing layer's roadmap against each product's asset taxonomy and compliance requirements.

Requirements

  • 12+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of owning complex, cross-system integrations end-to-end in a production SaaS environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience building or integrating computer-vision, LiDAR, or geospatial data-processing pipelines; comfort with point-cloud or 3D spatial data is a strong plus.
  • Strong data-modeling and API/connector design skills, able to reconcile a third party's data schema against multiple existing internal data models without resorting to one-off custom logic.
  • Comfortable operating with incomplete information and ambiguous vendor integration paths; makes and defends build-vs-integrate calls.
  • Experience partnering across multiple product teams and translating a strategic technical vision into a scoped, sequenced delivery plan.
  • Excellent written communication; can produce technical design docs that align stakeholders across five product teams.
  • Owns a technical domain end-to-end with full accountability for outcomes, from architecture through production operation.
  • Operates with strategic awareness across multiple downstream product teams; makes strong technical calls with incomplete vendor and data information.
  • Sets technical direction and milestones for the sensing-integration roadmap; influences cross-functional partners without formal authority.
  • Establishes patterns, like the connector/adapter approach, that other engineers and products reuse, elevating the work of the broader team.
  • Expected to embed AI-native tooling in their own workflow and model its effective use for teammates joining the team.

Nice to have

  • comfort with point-cloud or 3D spatial data is a strong plus.
  • Experience with geospatial systems (PostGIS, spatial indexing, coordinate reference systems) preferred.
  • A track record of shipping systems where data accuracy carries real compliance or safety consequences (regulatory, infrastructure, or public-sector systems) is a strong plus.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive healthcare options for individuals and families
  • Flexible vacation policy and paid company holidays
  • Paid parental leave, wellness stipends, and HSA contributions
  • Learn about OpenGov's mission to power more effective and accountable government and the vision of high-performance government for every community at OpenGov.com http://OpenGov.com.
  • Evaluate, integrate, or build the computer-vision and LiDAR-fusion models this requires, including the technical path for consolidating with or extending EAM's existing Vision AI microservice (rd-capture).

Company info

  • We are passionate about our mission to power more effective and accountable government.
  • Our global team of 800+ employees is united in our commitment to challenge the status quo.
