Job Description
The University of Nevada, Las Vegas invites applications for Programmer, Administrative Services [R0151748]
ROLE of the POSITION
A Programmer in Administration Technology Services (ATS) provides high-level technical design, development, and support for a diverse portfolio of administrative systems. This role is responsible for the full lifecycle of applications governing Delivery Services, Parking & Transportation, and Telecommunications, as well as ATS-developed software like Central Billing.
Utilizing C#, .NET, SQL, and more, an ATS Programmer ensures that technical solutions align with the intended business use-case. This position requires a "security-by-design" approach, proficiency in Software Development Life Cycles (SDLC) and IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) frameworks, and the ability to communicate complex technical policies to departmental stakeholders.
In alignment with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) and Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), the Director is responsible for the entire secure software development process, including being accountable for releasing software to production and delegating responsibilities as appropriate. Programmers are responsible for all other aspects of SDLCs, including participation in an annual review of tools, frameworks, and methodologies utilized within ATS to ensure alignment with governance, compliance, and best practices. In ATS, programming is a team-based exercise. While Programmers are not responsible for assigning or reviewing the work of Junior Programmers, they are expected to openly contribute to the growth of all members of the team.
This position is responsible for the technical integrity and support of systems within the following areas:
- Delivery Services: Mail sorting/digitization, shipping management/last-mile delivery, and business asset lifecycle (tagging, surplus, and disposal).
- Parking & Transportation: Parking management, License Plate Recognition (LPR), car counting systems, and permit payroll deduction integrations.
- Telecommunications: Call tracking/accounting and service request systems for hardware and repair.
- ATS Custom Solutions: Proprietary software such as Central Billing, and service agreements with departments outside of Administrative Services (TeamDynamix, Visual Lease, and Tuition Calculator).
To exceed expectations, an ATS Programmer must demonstrate:
- Business Intent: Solutions solve the underlying operational problem, not just the technical request.
- Security Leadership: Cybersecurity best practices are integrated into every design and clearly explained to all end-users.
- Documentation Quality: System documentation exists, is maintained through regular reviews, and adheres to department change management standards.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding University of Nevada, Las Vegas Green Card Visa Sponsorship Jobs USA
Target faculty and research roles first
UNLV's Green Card sponsorship concentrates in tenure-track faculty positions and grant-funded research roles. Academic departments in STEM fields, health sciences, and professional programs file more frequently than administrative units, so focus your search on these hiring channels.
Understand which EB pathway applies to you
Faculty with outstanding achievements may qualify for EB-1B, bypassing PERM labor certification entirely. Most staff and researchers go through EB-2 or EB-3, which require DOL PERM certification. Clarifying your category early shapes every document you prepare before an offer is made.
Build a credentials file before applying
For EB-1B or EB-2 NIW consideration, compile peer-reviewed publications, citation records, grant histories, and professional awards now. UNLV's HR team and sponsoring department will need this documentation quickly once an offer moves to the Green Card filing stage.
Ask HR about PERM sponsorship policy during offers
Not every UNLV position automatically includes Green Card sponsorship. During offer negotiations, ask the hiring department directly whether PERM filing is part of the employment package and which EB category they typically use for that role type.
Use Migrate Mate to confirm UNLV's filing history
Before accepting an offer, verify that UNLV actively sponsors the visa pathway relevant to your role. Migrate Mate surfaces DOL Labor Condition Application data by employer, so you can confirm UNLV's Green Card filing patterns before committing to the application process.
Align your salary expectations with prevailing wage requirements
PERM requires UNLV to pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your occupation and location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the wage level for your role in Las Vegas before negotiating, so your offer doesn't create complications during the DOL certification stage.
University of Nevada, Las Vegas Green Card Visa Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does University of Nevada, Las Vegas sponsor Green Card visas?
Yes, UNLV sponsors Green Cards for qualifying employees, primarily through the EB-1B, EB-2, and EB-3 immigrant visa categories. Sponsorship is most common for tenure-track faculty, researchers, and specialized professional staff. Not every position qualifies automatically, so confirming sponsorship eligibility during the hiring process is essential.
Which departments at UNLV are most likely to sponsor a Green Card?
Academic departments in STEM fields, health sciences, law, and business are the most active sponsors because they hire tenure-track faculty and research staff who typically require long-term work authorization. Administrative and support roles are sponsored less frequently. Targeting open faculty and research positions gives you the strongest chance of Green Card eligibility at UNLV.
How does the Green Card application process work at UNLV?
For most roles, UNLV files a PERM labor certification with DOL to demonstrate no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position. After PERM approval, UNLV files an I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS. Faculty with exceptional credentials may qualify for EB-1B, which skips PERM entirely. The department and HR coordinate the filing timeline after your employment begins.
How long does the Green Card process take at UNLV?
The timeline varies significantly depending on your nationality, EB category, and priority date. PERM labor certification alone can take six months to over a year. EB-2 and EB-3 applicants from high-demand countries may face additional waits once the I-140 is approved. EB-1B cases without PERM can move faster. USCIS publishes monthly visa bulletin updates tracking current priority dates.
How do I find Green Card jobs at UNLV through Migrate Mate?
Migrate Mate indexes UNLV's verified Green Card and H-1B visa filing history so you can see which types of roles the university has historically sponsored. You can filter job listings by visa type and employer to identify UNLV positions that align with your credentials and immigration pathway, saving time before you apply.
What is the prevailing wage for Green Card sponsorship at University of Nevada, Las Vegas?
Employers sponsoring a Green Card through the PERM labor certification process must pay at least the prevailing wage for the role.
