SentiLink provides innovative identity and risk solutions, empowering institutions and individuals to transact with confidence. We’re building the future of identity verification in the United States, replacing a clunky, ineffective, and expensive status quo with solutions that are 10x faster, smarter, and more accurate. We’ve seen tremendous traction and are growing extremely quickly.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Backend Engineer Jobs at SentiLink Jobs
Frame your systems experience in fintech terms
SentiLink's backend work centers on fraud signals, identity data pipelines, and high-throughput APIs. Tailor your resume to show experience with distributed systems or data-intensive services rather than generic backend skills.
Target Backend Engineer roles with direct sponsorship language
Browse open Backend Engineer positions at SentiLink through Migrate Mate to filter specifically for roles with confirmed sponsorship history, saving time you'd otherwise spend chasing dead ends.
Prepare your degree credentials for specialty occupation review
USCIS requires that a sponsored role qualifies as a specialty occupation. A computer science or engineering degree aligned tightly to SentiLink's backend engineering scope strengthens the I-129 petition considerably.

Find Backend Engineer at SentiLink JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does SentiLink sponsor H-1B visas for Backend Engineers?
SentiLink's confirmed sponsorship history for Backend Engineers covers EB-2, EB-3, F-1 OPT, and TN visas. H-1B sponsorship isn't listed among their documented filings for this role, so clarify directly with the recruiter whether they'll support an H-1B petition before advancing through the interview process.
How do I apply for Backend Engineer jobs at SentiLink?
Browse current Backend Engineer openings at SentiLink through Migrate Mate, which filters specifically for roles with visa sponsorship history. Once you identify a role, apply directly through SentiLink's careers page. Tailor your application to reflect experience with fraud detection systems, identity APIs, or high-throughput backend infrastructure relevant to their core product.
Which visa types are commonly used for Backend Engineer roles at SentiLink?
SentiLink has sponsored Backend Engineers through F-1 OPT, TN, EB-2, and EB-3 pathways. F-1 OPT is common for recent graduates, while TN is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering roles. EB-2 and EB-3 are longer-term immigrant visa routes requiring PERM labor certification through DOL before USCIS adjudicates the petition.
What qualifications does SentiLink expect from Backend Engineer candidates seeking sponsorship?
SentiLink's backend engineering work involves fraud signal infrastructure, large-scale data pipelines, and API development in a fintech environment. Strong candidates typically bring experience with distributed systems, proficiency in languages like Go or Python, and familiarity with high-availability service design. USCIS also requires that the offered role qualifies as a specialty occupation, so a degree in computer science or a closely related field is important.
How do I plan my timeline if I'm on F-1 OPT and targeting a Backend Engineer role at SentiLink?
F-1 OPT gives you up to 12 months of work authorization, with a 24-month STEM extension available if your degree qualifies. If SentiLink moves to sponsor you for an H-1B, USCIS registration opens each March for an October 1 start date. The 60-day grace period after OPT expires means you need an approved extension or new status before that window closes.
