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 11 green-card filings in this occupation, 91% were for a worker who already held the job.

Third-party placement is common here

58% of this employer's visa filings place the worker at a client company rather than at the employer itself, across 80 clients. Your visa, salary band and layoff exposure would follow the employer of record, not the client.Most common: FIFTH THIRD BANK · JP Morgan Chase · Capital OneFiles as an H-1B dependent employer.

Green-card follow-through: 100%

Of 10 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 0 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 481 days.85% 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.

DOL often reclassifies their job titles

The Department of Labor assigned a different occupation than this employer requested on 40% of its 10 wage determinations — against a 18% norm. The occupation sets the prevailing wage floor.Reclassification is routine and can reflect genuinely hybrid roles; it is not by itself evidence of underpayment.

Files H-1B transfers

3 transfer filings in the last year, covering 3 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 9 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role

  • Figure out where specialized models beat frontier LLMs inside agent loops, and prove it with benchmarks and real customer workloads.
  • This is one of our most senior IC engineering role.
  • You'll set the technical direction for how agents get built on Fastino models, write a lot of the core code yourself, and raise the bar for everyone around you.

Responsibilities

  • Design and own the architecture for agentic systems built on
  • Build the evals, telemetry, and feedback loops that tell us when agents are getting better (or worse) and why.
  • Partner with research to turn new model architectures into agent capabilities, and shape what research works on next.
  • Drive data and fine-tuning strategy for agent specific tasks like tool calling, extraction, and routing.
  • Design and own the architecture for agentic systems built on Fastino's small, fast models: planning, tool use, memory, and multi-agent orchestration.

Requirements

  • A track record of shipping agentic systems that real users rely on, and the scars to prove it.
  • Strong understanding of model behavior: fine-tuning, evals, failure modes, and latency/cost tradeoffs.
  • You've built agentic systems that real users depend on, and you have strong opinions about what works.

Nice to have

  • Experience setting technical direction across teams, not just within one project.
  • You write clearly and make complicated systems feel simple.
