Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company. We free people and agents to ship what’s next.
For more than a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web is built. As the team behind Next.js, v0, and AI SDK, we create products that help builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.
Now, software is entering a new era, and the next generation of products will not just be used by people. They will be built, extended, and operated by agents.
We are building the platform for that future, trusted by companies like OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide. Whether you’re building our products, supporting our customers, growing our community, or shaping our story, you’ll help define what comes next.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Vercel is growing fast, and so is the demand on our IT team. We're looking for an IT Operations Engineer to be the backbone of day-to-day technical support for our New York City office, someone who takes real ownership of the employee experience and keeps our team running at full speed.
In this role, you'll be the go-to person for in-office IT support: resolving hardware and software issues and partnering with teams across the company to make sure everyone has what they need to do their best work. You'll manage the tools and systems Vercel's employees rely on every day, from endpoint management and AV to onboarding workflows and access controls.
AI fluency is a core expectation at Vercel, not a bonus. We expect you to actively use AI tools to work faster, automate repetitive tasks, and solve problems more effectively. Whether that's writing scripts, drafting documentation, triaging requests, or researching solutions, we want someone who reaches for AI as a natural part of how they work.
Beyond the helpdesk, you'll have genuine opportunities to contribute to larger IT projects and initiatives. This is a team that operates with a high bar and moves quickly, and we're looking for someone who matches that energy: proactive, detail-oriented, and genuinely excited about building great IT experiences at scale.
This is an in-person role based in New York City. The successful candidate will be expected to work onsite to effectively collaborate with our team and support our office's IT needs.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
-
Serve as the first point of contact for in-office and remote staff on all IT-related issues. Troubleshoot and resolve hardware, software, and network problems, ensuring minimal downtime and a great employee experience.
-
Actively use AI tools to triage requests, draft documentation, write scripts, and find solutions faster. We expect AI to be a regular part of how you work, not an occasional experiment.
-
Utilize IT ticketing systems to manage and prioritize help-desk requests, keeping response times tight and communication clear.
-
Help with the creation, management, and support of user accounts and access controls, ensuring employees have the resources and permissions they need to do their jobs.
-
Support in-office AV and conference room technology, including event support for team gatherings and all-hands meetings.
-
Collaborate with other IT team members on projects ranging from new technology rollouts to process improvements.
-
Partner with our Onboarding team to procure equipment, set up accounts, and deliver a smooth experience for new hires.
-
Develop and maintain clear documentation for IT systems, processes, and common issues.
-
Work cross-functionally with teams like Workplace Services and People to support company-wide initiatives and keep the office running well.

Effective Communicator: You can explain complex technical issues in plain language and work collaboratively across teams and departments with ease.

Detail-Oriented: You manage your work and documentation carefully, keep IT assets organized, and don't let things fall through the cracks.
Security Conscious: You understand the importance of cybersecurity and are proactive about implementing measures to protect company data and systems.
Continuous Learner: You stay current on IT trends and best practices and are motivated to grow your skills alongside the team and the company.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an IT Operations Specialist
Align your credentials to U.S. specialty occupation standards
Your Australian three-year IT degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year bachelor's degree for E-3 visa purposes. Gather academic transcripts and a credential evaluation before applying, so employers can confirm specialty occupation eligibility without delay.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search DOL's Foreign Labor Application Gateway disclosure data for companies that have previously filed Labor Condition Applications for IT Operations roles. Employers already familiar with the LCA process move faster and are less likely to abandon sponsorship mid-offer.
Clarify the E-3 advantage early in negotiations
Many U.S. hiring managers assume all international candidates need H-1B lottery sponsorship. Raise the E-3 distinction before offer stage so the recruiter can confirm employer willingness without routing you through a lottery-based process that doesn't apply to you.
Verify your employer meets E-Verify and LCA requirements
Before accepting an offer, confirm your employer is enrolled in E-Verify and can file a certified LCA with DOL. Without a certified LCA, your consulate application cannot proceed, regardless of how quickly the offer letter is signed.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for end-to-end preparation
Once you have a signed offer letter, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA filing, DS-160, and consulate preparation. IT Operations roles with third-party client sites can raise additional documentation questions that a dedicated E-3 expert helps you navigate cleanly.
Plan your consulate appointment around your start date
Australian consulates in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth process E-3 appointments independently, with wait times that vary by location and time of year. Book your appointment as soon as your LCA is certified to avoid a gap between your offer acceptance and your U.S. start date.
E-3 Visa IT Operations Specialist: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find IT Operations Specialist jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Search Migrate Mate to filter IT Operations Specialist roles by E-3 visa sponsorship. Standard job searches don't surface employer sponsorship willingness, so you'd otherwise spend hours screening roles manually. Migrate Mate surfaces positions from employers who have filed for E-3 or comparable work visas, narrowing your search to realistic targets from the start.
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 an IT Operations Specialist role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS recognizes IT Operations Specialist roles as specialty occupations when the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in information technology, computer science, or a closely related field. Roles focused on systems administration, network operations, or infrastructure management with a theoretical and practical knowledge requirement consistently meet this standard. Avoid applying to postings that list a degree as preferred rather than required, as that framing can undermine the specialty occupation argument at your consulate interview.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for IT Operations Specialist roles?
The E-3 is substantially more accessible for Australian nationals. The H-1B is subject to an annual cap of 85,000 slots and a randomized lottery, meaning qualified IT professionals are routinely excluded through no fault of their own. The E-3 has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been exhausted, so there's no lottery and no wait. Renewals are indefinite as long as you maintain qualifying employment, which gives IT Operations professionals meaningful long-term stability that the H-1B's lottery dependency does not.
What happens to my E-3 status if I change employers or move to a contractor role?
Each new employer requires a fresh LCA and new E-3 visa documentation. If you move from a direct employer to a staffing or contractor arrangement, the contracting company is typically listed as the petitioner, but consular officers may ask for the end-client's offer details to confirm specialty occupation at the worksite. Build in enough lead time before your current E-3 expires to complete the new LCA certification before your employment transition.
