Sphere is using AI to codify the world's international trade law. We currently help companies like Lovable, Eleven Labs, Replit, Runway AI, Windsurf (+ many more) automate their sales tax, VAT and GST compliance:
- We're growing rapidly (30%+ MoM revenue growth) and helping the fastest growing tech companies around the world including Lovable, Eleven Labs, Replit, Windsurf, Deel, Linktree, Fal, Sierra AI etc.
- We’ve spent the last 2 years building local rails into 100+ tax authorities across the world to properly automate compliance processes (no other vendor has done this).
- We're building the world's first AI-native tax engine (which will be the foundation for a broader cross border compliance platform; think Deel for revenue-based compliance).
- We're well funded by a16z, YC, 20vc and Felicis Ventures.
As Sphere scales to support millions of customer transactions globally, the need for scalable infrastructure to support transaction syncing and live tax calculation within checkout and invoices is paramount. Given we are a key part of mission critical billing flows for some of the fastest growing companies in the world, availability, resilience and speed are all key areas of focus that this role would be responsible for.
Why this is a massive opportunity:
🌍 Massive TAM: Every business around the world needs this. Compliance isn’t optional.
🌬️ Strong macro tailwinds: Businesses are expanding globally at a faster pace, while tax authorities are cracking down on cross-border compliance, driving urgent demand.
✨ AI advantage: Incumbents can’t scale beyond the U.S.; our AI-native tax engine can.
🔮 Multi product play: Indirect tax is just the start; we’re building a compound startup that helps business with all forms of revenue-based compliance.
What you will do:
Within weeks:
- Find solutions to Sphere's toughest scaling, performance, and latency problems.
- Work closely with engineering team to define tooling to help us ship even faster.
- Participate in an On Call rotation to solve critical production events.
- Work directly with customers like Eleven Labs, Replit, Windsurf, and partners like Stripe, Chargebee, on their latency and availability requirements.
Within months:
- Influence and implement the next generation of Sphere's database, real-time queue, and container orchestration infrastructure.
- Work across our engineering organization to introduce and scale best practices with cloud-native technologies like Amazon ALB, ECS/EKS, Temporal, AWS SQS, Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, Elasticache Redis, and S3.
- Build abstractions within Terraform to simplify the architecture and increase velocity and ownership.
Requirements:
- Experience managing k8s clusters in AWS/GCP/Azure at scale.
- Extensive experience shipping high-quality architectures for mission critical systems (focus on high availability, high load, low latency).
- Experience with Postgres at scale.
Nice to have:
- Experience working with large volumes of transaction data. You’ll be getting very familiar with it!
- Strong experience in Python. Our core application backend and data pipeline services are built with Python and Django.
- Passionate about developer experience.
- Very strong attention to detail. When you work with numbers this is a non-negotiable - it’s not enough to be 99% right.
What’s important to us:
- The Dog: Grit > pedigree.
- Ship fast: If it can be done today, do it today.
- Self-starter: No hand-holding.
- Accountability: You’ll be held accountable to objective, measurable targets each month.
- In-person: SF only.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Sphere E-3 Visa Sponsorship Jobs USA
Align your degree to the role
Sphere's technical roles require a degree in a field directly related to the position. Map your specific major to the job description before applying, a general IT degree won't support an E-3 for a specialized software engineering role.
Request LCA filing before your start date
The DOL must certify Sphere's Labor Condition Application before you can apply for your E-3 visa. Confirm with your recruiter that the LCA is submitted early enough to avoid delays pushing back your consulate appointment.
Verify your role meets specialty occupation criteria
Use O*NET to confirm your job title's standard education requirements. If Sphere's posting lists a bachelor's degree as preferred rather than required, that can create problems at the consulate, clarify the requirement in writing with HR.
Use Migrate Mate to check Sphere's E-3 filing history
Before negotiating your offer, search Sphere on Migrate Mate to review their E-3 Labor Condition Application history by role type. This tells you which positions they've sponsored before and helps you assess how familiar their HR team is with the process.
Prepare for prevailing wage questions at the offer stage
The E-3 requires Sphere to pay at least the prevailing wage for your role and location. Cross-reference your offer against the OFLC Wage Search before signing, if the salary falls below the required level, USCIS will deny the petition.
Book your consulate appointment as soon as LCA is certified
E-3 visas are issued at U.S. consulates in Australia, and appointment slots at Sydney and Melbourne can book out weeks in advance. Secure your appointment the day the LCA clears DOL to avoid gaps between your offer acceptance and your start date.
Sphere E-3 Visa Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Sphere sponsor E-3 visas?
Yes, Sphere sponsors E-3 visas for Australian nationals in technology and software roles. Sponsorship is tied to specific positions rather than offered broadly, so your strongest path is applying for a role where your degree directly matches the technical requirements. Confirming E-3 eligibility early in the recruiting process saves time for both you and the hiring team.
Which roles at Sphere typically qualify for E-3 sponsorship?
Sphere's E-3 sponsorship is concentrated in software engineering, systems development, and technical specialist positions where a relevant bachelor's degree is a genuine requirement. Roles that list a degree as preferred rather than required are harder to support under the E-3's specialty occupation standard, so target postings with explicit educational requirements in your field.
How do I navigate the E-3 application process at Sphere?
Once Sphere extends an offer, their HR or legal team files a Labor Condition Application with DOL. After DOL certifies the LCA, you apply for the E-3 visa directly at a U.S. consulate in Australia. You don't need USCIS to approve a petition first, which makes the E-3 timeline faster than most employer-sponsored work visas.
How long does E-3 sponsorship take at Sphere?
The DOL typically certifies an LCA within seven business days. Consulate appointment availability then drives the overall timeline. Sydney and Melbourne can have wait times ranging from two to eight weeks depending on the season. Factor in at least four to six weeks from offer acceptance to visa in hand when negotiating your start date with Sphere.
How do I find E-3 jobs at Sphere and assess their sponsorship track record?
Search Sphere on Migrate Mate to review their E-3 Labor Condition Application history and see which role types they've filed for. This gives you a practical picture of their sponsorship experience before you apply. Focus your application on technical roles where your degree field directly matches the position, and raise E-3 sponsorship with the recruiter before the final offer stage.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 sponsorship at Sphere?
E-3 employers must pay at least the prevailing wage, determined when they file a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor. The rate is based on the role, location, and experience level, ensuring Australian hires are paid comparably to U.S. workers in the same position. You can look up prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the DOL's OFLC Wage Search tool.
