What started as a way to reward people on their largest expense has turned into an ecosystem connecting our members, property managers and local merchants. Travel, dining, fitness, everyday spend. We are building systems across payments, credit, loyalty, and commerce all at once.
We run lean and move quickly. Every person here has a real impact on what gets built and how fast it happens.
This role comes with real ownership and high expectations. If you prefer clearly defined lanes and structure, this will feel uncomfortable. If you want to build quickly, have a real say in what gets built, and work on products used by millions, you will likely do your best work here.

You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and documenting the back-end services for the Bilt mobile app and website while coaching and mentoring junior resources and collaborating with other team members and stakeholders. You will also drive best practices, ensure the technical feasibility of integrations, and optimize the application for maximum speed, scalability, and reliability.

- 5+ years of experience
- Proven hands-on Software Development experience
- Demonstrable experience in Java development

- Great interpersonal skills and a team player
- A burning desire to win and reach overall company goals

- Knowledge of the start-up world is preferred
Benefits:
- Compensation - We offer a competitive salary with a meaningful stake in the company via equity and our performance bonus program
- Health insurance for you (& your loved ones) from day one - Enjoy a One Medical Membership, wellness stipends, family programs and more, on us. We’ve got you and your family covered from day one.
- 401k plan with a match - Retirement may feel more like a pipe dream than a reality but we’re here to help you get there.
- Commuter FSAs - We believe the best ideas come from being together in one place. We just don’t think getting there should be so expensive.
- UNLIMITED PTO - Because we believe that working hard shouldn’t mean always working. Take time for yourself as often as you need it.
- Exclusive Employee only Bilt Points - We give our employees unique opportunities to earn points throughout their time at Bilt.
- Team Events - We believe in human connection so we hold events to help our employees break from the monotony of the typical work week.
At Bilt Rewards, we believe in transparency and we do our best to make sure the company and our candidates are on the same page as it relates to compensation. In addition to posting salary ranges for our open roles, candidates should expect to be asked about compensation expectations and requirements early on in their interview process. Our goal is to highlight when expectations and Bilt’s salary range may be out of sync, and work with the candidate to determine whether it makes sense to continue conversations.
We are considering candidates with differing levels of expertise for this position. Leveling will be based upon your experience and performance in the interview process.
Where a new hire falls within a range will be based on their skills and experience, and how these competencies compare across other employees in the same role. Bilt's bands are designed to allow for individual compensation growth within the role. As such, new hires typically start at the lower end of the range. Bilt Rewards performance and outcomes - should you join the company, you will have the opportunity to grow your salary over time.
The salary range for a Back End Engineer is $170,000 - $300,000 (based on YOE/level), and you will be eligible for equity and an annual performance-based bonus.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Backend Infrastructure Engineer
Frame your degree field precisely
A computer science or software engineering degree maps cleanly to backend infrastructure roles. If your Australian degree has a broader title like IT or information systems, document coursework in systems architecture or distributed computing to strengthen the specialty occupation case.
Target companies with active LCA filings
Search the DOL's OFLC disclosure data for employers who have filed LCAs for infrastructure, platform, or site reliability engineering roles. Prior LCA filings signal that a company's HR and legal teams already understand the E-3 visa sponsorship process.
Clarify job duties before the offer stage
Backend infrastructure titles cover a wide spectrum. Confirm with the hiring manager that your written job description specifies systems-level responsibilities, not general software development. The LCA must reflect a role that demonstrably requires a specialized degree.
Request the LCA timeline from your employer early
The DOL certifies LCAs within seven business days for standard applications. Ask your employer to initiate the LCA filing as soon as the verbal offer is extended, so certification doesn't delay your consulate appointment scheduling.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for end-to-end preparation
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles LCA submission, visa documentation, and consulate preparation in one workflow. This is especially useful when your employer has no prior E-3 experience and needs guided support through the DOL and State Department steps.
Prepare a prevailing wage explanation for your employer
The DOL requires your employer to pay at least the prevailing wage for your role and location. Download the OEWS wage data for your specific SOC code and metro area so your employer can set a compliant offer before filing the LCA.
E-3 Visa Backend Infrastructure Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Backend Infrastructure Engineer jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate filters backend infrastructure roles by employers who have active E-3 sponsorship history, so you're not cold-applying and hoping. Standard job searches don't surface sponsorship willingness reliably. Searching through Migrate Mate connects you directly to roles where the employer already understands the E-3 process for Australian engineers.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does Backend Infrastructure Engineer qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the role requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field such as computer science, software engineering, or a related discipline. The key is that the position must genuinely require that specialized degree, not merely accept one. Roles focused on systems reliability, cloud infrastructure, or distributed platform engineering consistently meet this threshold. Generalist IT roles that accept any bachelor's degree are harder to qualify.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for backend infrastructure engineers?
The E-3 has no lottery and no annual numerical cap in practical terms, since the 10,500 allocation has never been fully used. H-1B visa cap-subject petitions enter a lottery where selection is not guaranteed. For Australian engineers, the E-3 also allows consular processing in three to four weeks under typical conditions, whereas H-1B standard processing runs several months. The trade-off is that E-3 requires maintaining a qualifying job offer to remain valid.
Can I switch backend infrastructure employers while on an E-3?
Yes, but there's no portability provision equivalent to H-1B's AC21 rule. You need a new LCA certified by the DOL and a new visa stamp issued for the new employer before you begin work, unless you're changing status from within the U.S. under a new petition. Most engineers plan a brief gap between roles or align the transition with a trip outside the U.S. to process the new stamp at an Australian consulate.
