Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 1164 green-card filings in this occupation, 96% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card follow-through: 87%

Of 741 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 96 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 439 days.97% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.

Reported a layoff in this occupation

In a green-card filing decided 2026-06-24, this employer stated it had laid off workers in Software Developers (WA) during the preceding six months. 3 such filings on record.Describes the period before that filing, not necessarily today. Unlike WARN notices this is occupation-specific and federal.

Files H-1B transfers

1131 transfer filings in the last year, covering 1131 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

  • Implement and test features within core platform components with guidance, including robotics SDKs, cloud-hosted Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), edge runtimes, and agent orchestration frameworks that enable developers and partners to compose interoperable autonomy capabilities (perception, planning, control, multi-agent coordination) into
  • deployable mission workflows. Contribute to platform extensibility and integration features using established patterns, helping integrate, version, test, and deploy first-party autonomy capabilities, first- and third-party models, partner hardware systems, and customer-specific logic across cloud and edge environments. Develop and test components of data

Nice to have

  • Help test and investigate performance against the latency requirements of real-time robotic control loops.
  • Use AI-assisted development tools, such as GitHub Copilot, and agentic coding workflows to improve engineering productivity and software quality.
  • Apply team standards for code quality, testing, and operational readiness, and communicate progress, questions, and blockers.
  • Experience coding in one or more of C++, Rust, Go, or Python, with an interest in systems-level components, tooling, data pipelines, or ML integration and an emphasis on clear, maintainable, testable code.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools, such as GitHub Copilot, including exposure to agentic coding workflows, with an emphasis on reviewing, testing, and validating AI-generated code.
  • Familiarity with cloud services and distributed systems concepts, such as microservices, containerized workloads (e.g., Kubernetes), APIs, or CI/CD
  • exposure to Azure is a plus.
  • Understanding of agentic AI architectures, including agent orchestration, tool use, multi-agent coordination, and human-in-the-loop workflows, and how they apply to physical systems.
