Get Access To All JobsCOMPANY OVERVIEW:
Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. At Joby, we've been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and we're now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA. With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, we're now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.
Overview:
We're looking for a highly motivated Mobile/Fullstack Senior Software Engineer to join our Air Taxi Systems team. We're seeking someone who has a demonstrated ability to ship iOS apps to both consumers and internal users. It is important that this person has worked on related backend APIs to power these apps. We're working on making quiet, emissions-free flight an everyday reality. As an engineer you'll work closely with product managers, designers, flight operations, and other engineers to maintain and stand up apps for our existing suite of tools in our EFB (electronic flight bag) for pilots, internal apps for our day to day operations on site, and consumer facing apps for riders. At this time working on the air taxi systems team is still similar to working in a start-up environment as we’re developing all the systems for commercial launch. We're looking for someone who is passionate about aviation, technology, and having a positive impact on the world.
Responsibilities:
- Develop consumer-grade mobile apps according to product requirements and design
- Iterate with product managers and designers
- Collaborate on and implement APIs and backend functions when possible
- Conduct thorough engineering testing and collaborate closely with QA
- Deployment and maintenance of public and company-internal apps
REQUIRED:
- 8+ years of software development
- Deep knowledge and expertise in iOS development
- Familiarity with Swift and modern frameworks
- Some backend work (e.g. Java, Go, Python)
- Built and shipped apps to consumers
- BS/MS in Computer Science or a related technical field
- Track record of shipping apps to the App Store
DESIRED:
- Experience designing for multiple form factors (phone/tablet)
- Experience in consumer applications
- Experience with mobile applications on Android platforms
- Familiarity with web technologies (HTTP, RESTful APIs, GraphQL) and modern front-end concepts
- Are a pilot or have an interest in aviation and/or new transportation technology
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Compensation at Joby is a combination of base pay and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
The target base pay for this position is $137,200 - $206,600/yr.
The compensation package will be determined by job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
Joby also offers a comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off, healthcare benefits, a 401(k) plan with a company match, an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), short-term and long-term disability coverage, life insurance, and more.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Mobile Engineer
Align your degree to the role
U.S. consular officers assess whether your Australian degree field directly matches your mobile engineering duties. A three-year bachelor's in computer science or software engineering is accepted as equivalent to a four-year U.S. degree for E-3 purposes.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to identify which companies have filed Labor Condition Applications for mobile or software engineering roles. Past LCA filings confirm the employer already understands the E-3 sponsorship process.
Clarify the specialty occupation question early
Some mobile engineer job descriptions list a degree as preferred rather than required, which can disqualify the role for E-3 purposes. Before accepting an offer, confirm the job description explicitly states a bachelor's degree in a specific field is a minimum requirement.
Handle the LCA before your interview date
Your employer must obtain a certified LCA from the DOL before your consulate appointment. DOL certification typically takes seven business days, so raise this with your hiring manager the moment you accept the offer. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork without delays.
Prepare your portfolio for specialty occupation proof
Consular officers may request evidence that your role involves theoretical and practical application of highly specialised knowledge. A portfolio showing architecture decisions, technical documentation, or cross-platform framework implementations strengthens the specialty occupation argument for mobile engineering positions.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified sponsoring employers
Searching broadly wastes time on employers who won't sponsor. Migrate Mate filters mobile engineer roles to companies with active E-3 sponsorship history, so every application you send goes to an employer already equipped to file.

Find Mobile Engineer JobsMobile Engineer E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find Mobile Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the recommended starting point. It surfaces mobile engineer roles at employers with verified E-3 sponsorship history, so you're not wasting time applying to companies unfamiliar with the process. Because the E-3 has no annual cap or lottery, any employer willing to sponsor can file at any time of year, which opens up hiring windows that H-1B candidates can't access.
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 a Mobile Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3 visa?
Yes, provided the job requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. The key is the job description: if the employer lists a degree as preferred rather than required, the role may not meet the specialty occupation standard. Roles involving iOS, Android, React Native, or Flutter development typically qualify when the position description is written correctly.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Mobile Engineers?
For Australian mobile engineers, the E-3 is substantially more practical. The H-1B is subject to an annual cap of 65,000 regular slots and a competitive lottery, meaning selection isn't guaranteed regardless of qualifications. The E-3 has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been exhausted, so there's no lottery and no wait. Your employer can file at any point after you have a job offer and a certified LCA.
Can I switch mobile engineering jobs while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but each new employer must file a fresh LCA and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp to re-enter the U.S. after travel, or pursue a change of status if you're already inside the country. There's no portability provision like the one available under certain H-1B rules, so start the process with the new employer before your current visa period ends to avoid a gap in authorisation.
