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 289 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card follow-through: 93%

Of 517 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 34 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 485 days.100% 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.

Files H-1B transfers

363 transfer filings in the last year, covering 1371 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

  • In this role, you will architect resilient, high-scale software platforms that power global operations.

Responsibilities

  • Architect Scalable Systems: Design end-to-end software architectures, microservices, and API topologies across our global supply chain domains.
  • Build AI-Native & Agentic Workflows: Strategic Plan intelligent decision engines, Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) agent workflows, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations using modern AI tooling (Cursor, Claude, Copilot).
  • Modernize Data Architecture: Design robust data pipelines and storage models across MongoDB, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, and Oracle with high security and reliability.
  • Partner with Stakeholders: Collaborate closely with product managers, operations teams, and engineering leads to turn business priorities into clear technical roadmaps!
  • You will translate complex operational needs into designs, build working prototypes, and resolve architectural bottlenecks.
  • You will also lead the charge on our next-generation AI-native platforms across Order Management, Logistics, Returns, and Repair Operations.
  • We build systems that solve real-world challenges at global scale!
