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 Visa Sponsorship Jobs USA
Target roles that align with E-3 specialty occupation requirements
Sphere's sponsorship activity centers on technology and software roles. Focus your application on positions requiring a specific bachelor's degree field, software engineering, computer science, or information systems, to meet the E-3 specialty occupation standard cleanly.
Research Sphere's active tech stack before applying
Technology companies sponsor roles tied to specific technical skills. Study Sphere's products and engineering focus, then tailor your resume to reflect directly relevant experience. A precise skills match makes sponsorship conversations easier to initiate.
Use Migrate Mate to verify current sponsorship activity before applying
Sponsorship willingness can shift with hiring cycles. Migrate Mate surfaces verified sponsors so you can filter by real sponsorship history and confirm Sphere is actively sponsoring before investing time in your application.
Prepare for a streamlined process if pursuing the E-3 pathway
The E-3 visa doesn't require a lottery and can be processed relatively quickly through a U.S. consulate. For Australian applicants targeting Sphere, understanding the E-3 timeline and documentation requirements gives you a practical edge in negotiations.
Reach out to Sphere's engineering or technical hiring teams directly
In technology and software companies, hiring decisions on sponsorship often sit with engineering managers, not just HR. If you can connect with a technical lead who understands your skill set, sponsorship approval becomes a much easier internal conversation.

Find Sphere JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Sphere sponsor H-1B visas?
Based on available sponsorship data, Sphere does not have a recorded history of sponsoring H-1B visas. Their sponsorship activity is focused on the E-3 visa for Australian nationals and F-1 OPT and CPT for students and recent graduates. If H-1B sponsorship is a requirement for your situation, it's worth confirming directly with Sphere's hiring team before applying.
Which visa types does Sphere sponsor?
Sphere sponsors the E-3 visa, which is available exclusively to Australian citizens working in specialty occupations, as well as F-1 OPT and F-1 CPT for international students. This makes Sphere a particularly relevant target for Australian tech professionals and F-1 graduates in software or technology fields looking for U.S. work authorization.
How do I find open visa-sponsored roles at Sphere?
Migrate Mate is the most reliable way to browse Sphere's current open positions that include visa sponsorship. Rather than sifting through general job listings and guessing at sponsorship willingness, Migrate Mate filters for verified sponsors so you can apply with confidence that Sphere is actively supporting international candidates.
Which departments or roles at Sphere are most likely to offer visa sponsorship?
Sphere operates in technology and software, so sponsored roles tend to be concentrated in engineering, software development, and technical functions where a specific degree field is a genuine requirement. Roles with a clear connection between your degree and the job's core responsibilities are the strongest candidates for E-3 or OPT sponsorship approval.
How do I approach the application process at Sphere as an international candidate?
Lead with your visa eligibility upfront rather than waiting for it to come up late in the process. If you're an Australian national pursuing the E-3, or an F-1 graduate eligible for OPT, make that clear in your initial outreach. Sphere's sponsorship history in technology roles means the conversation is likely familiar to their hiring team, but being proactive keeps the process moving smoothly.
