    How this list is ranked

    These employers are ranked by how many roles open to OPT candidates they have live on Migrate Mate right now. OPT is your own work authorization rather than something the employer files, so the practical question is whether the role fits your field of study and whether the team has hired people on OPT before.

How OPT works

OPT is work authorization for F-1 students, not an employer-sponsored visa. The student applies through their school's international office (the DSO) and USCIS with Form I-765; the employer files nothing. The role must relate to the student's field of study. OPT gives up to 12 months of work authorization, with a 24-month STEM extension for eligible degrees.

OPT Employers for DevOps Engineers: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies sponsor the most OPT visas for DevOps Engineers?

Gartner has the most, with 2 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Apple (3) and Amazon.com (2). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 26 live OPT jobs, updated daily.

Who is eligible for OPT?

F-1 students are eligible for OPT if they have been enrolled full-time for at least one full academic year and their DSO approves the application. OPT must be in a field directly related to the student's major. Students apply through USCIS Form I-765, and USCIS issues an Employment Authorization Document. The standard post-completion OPT period is 12 months, with a 24-month STEM extension available for qualifying degree programs.

Do devops engineers qualify for F-1 OPT as a specialty occupation?

Yes. Devops engineers typically hold a bachelor's degree in a specific field, which is exactly the specialty-occupation standard F-1 OPT is built around. What matters is that the employer classifies the role under a matching occupation code and that your degree lines up with it.

How do I get OPT through a top employer?

OPT authorization is entirely student-initiated, the employer does not file anything. Start by requesting a new I-20 with an OPT recommendation from your DSO at least 90 days before your intended start date. Submit Form I-765 to USCIS along with the required supporting documents and fee. Once USCIS issues your Employment Authorization Document, you may begin working at the employer in a role related to your field of study. Plan ahead, as USCIS processing can take several weeks.
