About Salesforce
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.
Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.
Are you a seasoned engineer who wants to reshape how the world's largest enterprises harness their data? The Informatica IDMC team—a strategic pillar of Salesforce—is building what comes next: an AI-native data integration platform where Generative AI, LLMs, and Agentic architectures don't just assist workflows—they fundamentally reinvent them. We're talking petabyte-scale data movement that thinks, adapts, and self-optimizes. This is a principal-level engineering role where you'll own the technical direction for one or more teams, making architectural bets at the frontier of data integration and AI. You won't just design systems—you'll define the patterns that thousands of enterprise customers depend on to run their businesses. We need a high-performing hybrid engineer who leads from the front: shipping production-grade code that powers intelligent data pipelines one day, and elevating an entire team's craft through architectural vision and mentorship the next. If you want to work at the intersection of massive-scale distributed systems and cutting-edge AI—where your decisions directly shape a platform processing more data than most engineers will see in a career—this is the role.

Quality Delivery & Ownership
- Embrace full accountability for your team's technical deliveries from code to production, including multiphase rollouts (pre-release, canary, stagger).
- Create and approve test strategies with emphasis on non-functional requirements—performance, scalability, security, and fault tolerance.

Agile Execution
- Lead Agile processes end-to-end—planning, execution, retrospectives. Own the successful execution of the team's release plan.
- Propose medium-term plans (2RR), provide estimates, identify risks, and ensure the team delivers on commitments.
Multiplier Leadership
- Coach LMTS engineers and peer teams through design reviews and mentorship. Set clear Definition of Done expectations.
- Lead service ownership practices—on-call rotations, readiness reviews, runbooks, and automation that promote team health.
- Seek and integrate feedback on your designs; provide constructive feedback on others'.
Communication & Customer Focus
- Explain architectures and initiatives clearly to VP-level audiences, Product Owners, and cross-functional partners.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Principal Full Stack Engineer
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
USCIS requires your degree field to match the Principal Full Stack Engineer role directly. A computer science, software engineering, or information systems degree strengthens your case. Unrelated degrees create RFE risk even with years of hands-on experience.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Foreign Labor Application Gateway to find companies that have recently certified LCAs for software engineering roles. Prior filings signal internal familiarity with the E-3 process, reducing back-and-forth during your offer stage.
Frame the E-3 advantage during salary negotiations
Unlike H-1B, the E-3 has no lottery and no annual cap, so your start date is predictable. Employers who have lost H-1B candidates to lottery failure respond well to this distinction when evaluating whether to extend a senior-level offer.
Get the LCA certified before resigning your current role
DOL typically certifies E-3 LCAs within seven working days, but do not give notice to your Australian employer until certification is confirmed. Delays in LCA certification can push your consulate appointment timeline and leave you in a gap period.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for end-to-end support
Principal-level roles often involve complex job descriptions that require precise specialty occupation documentation. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles your LCA filing, visa paperwork, and consulate preparation so nothing falls through between offer acceptance and your interview.
Prepare for nonimmigrant intent questions at the consulate
Consular officers assess whether you intend to return to Australia. At the principal level, be ready to explain your career ties, any equity or long-term incentives, and why the role is temporary in scope. Ambiguous answers about future plans raise intent concerns.
E-3 Visa Principal Full Stack Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find Principal Full Stack Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles that include E-3 sponsorship. The platform surfaces Principal Full Stack Engineer positions at employers familiar with the E-3 process, so you're not spending time educating hiring managers about Australian visa eligibility from scratch.
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 Principal Full Stack Engineer role qualify as an E-3 specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as computer science, software engineering, or a closely aligned discipline. USCIS applies a theoretical and practical application standard, so the job description must make the degree requirement explicit, not merely preferred. Roles framed as generalist or requiring any bachelor's degree carry higher RFE risk.
How does the E-3 visa compare to H-1B for Principal Full Stack Engineers?
The E-3 has no lottery and no annual numerical cap, so you can apply any time of year with a valid job offer. H-1B selection is randomized, capped at 85,000 per fiscal year, and requires registration in April with an October 1 start date at the earliest. For senior engineering roles where timing and predictability matter, the E-3 eliminates the lottery risk entirely.
Can I change employers after starting a Principal Full Stack Engineer role on an E-3?
Yes, but each employer change requires a new LCA and a new visa stamp or E-3 status approval. You cannot port between E-3 employers the way AC21 portability works for I-140 holders. If you change roles while inside the U.S., your new employer must file a fresh LCA and you'll need to either apply for a change of status or depart and reenter on the new approval.
