Green Card AI Platform Engineer Jobs
AI Platform Engineer roles qualify for green card sponsorship under EB-2 for advanced-degree professionals and EB-3 for skilled workers with a bachelor's degree. Your employer files a PERM labor certification with DOL before petitioning USCIS, making this a permanent residency path rather than a temporary visa renewal cycle.

At Sysdig, we believe cloud security isn't a compromise - it's a promise. From the start, our mission has been clear: to help organizations secure innovation in the cloud, the right way. We created Falco, the open standard for cloud threat detection, and continue to lead the cloud security market with runtime insights, open innovation, and agentic AI. Creators of technology trusted by over 60% of the Fortune 500, Sysdig gives teams the real-time clarity to move fast and defend what matters most. Culture matters here. We believe diversity fuels stronger ideas, and open dialogue drives sharper decisions. Recognized as a Best Place to Work and one of Deloitte's fastest-growing companies for the past 5 years, we're here to raise the standard for what cloud security and workplace culture should be. If you have the passion to dig deeper, the desire to challenge convention, and the curiosity to build something better, Sysdig is the right place for you.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Build and run the MCP fleet — ship, secure, and patch self-hosted and managed MCP servers for business apps and databases, and manage the MCP registry.
Own the agent platform other teams build on — the deploy pattern, guardrails, observability, and hosting substrate that let other teams ship agents without you in the loop.
Co-own the Bedrock runtime and gateway — model access, cost attribution, content-filtering guardrails, model pinning, and quota management behind an AWS/Okta-SSO'd gateway.
Make AI spend and usage visible — build the Bedrock-to-Snowflake pipeline, identity-matched, with usage tracking and threshold alerting.
Make the secure path the easy path — own MDM config, desktop client setup, credentials, and auth flows for non-technical employees; build AI automations across Claude desktop, Slack, and Google Workspace.
Build governance into the platform — route workflows by data sensitivity, enforce least privilege and auditability, and keep unproven models sandboxed away from production data as configuration, not a rewrite.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
6+ years in software engineering, platform engineering, or DevOps, including ownership of something in production that others depended on.
Hands-on AWS — IAM, ECS or Lambda, CloudWatch, and working VPC knowledge. Required, not a bonus.
Full-stack range — backend services, APIs, CI/CD, containerized deployments.
Builder, not just integrator — you can write an MCP server or API integration from scratch, not just wire up a managed connector.
Hands-on with LLMs — comfortable with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and agent development; you've shipped something with them.
Self-direction — you can take an underspecified task and figure out the parts nobody wrote down.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Bias to ship — and to automate whatever you just did by hand.
Ownership of the boring parts — upgrades, credentials, quotas, on-call.
Candor — you raise problems and disagreements early, even about platform choices.
Judgment on buy vs. build — you'd rather run a small, coherent stack than a sprawling "perfect" one.
COMPENSATION
* The U.S. annual salary range for this full-time position is between 123,000 and 154,000 USD/year. Actual offers may be higher or lower than this range based on a variety of factors, including your work location, job-related experience and education.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as an AI Platform Engineer
Frame your credentials for PERM requirements
PERM requires your employer to advertise the role at the minimum qualifications level. If your actual background exceeds the posted requirements, document that gap carefully, USCIS scrutinizes cases where the candidate appears tailored to a specific foreign worker.
Target employers with active I-140 histories
Companies that have previously filed I-140 petitions for engineers have cleared the PERM process before and understand the multi-year commitment. Prioritize mid-size and large tech firms with dedicated immigration counsel over startups that treat sponsorship as a one-time favor.
Search green card roles using Migrate Mate
Filter your AI Platform Engineer job search by EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history using Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers with verified green card filing records so you're not cold-applying to companies that only sponsor H-1B visas.
Align your degree field with SOC code 15-1299
DOL maps AI Platform Engineer roles under computer occupations SOC code 15-1299. PERM job descriptions must require a degree in a related field, so confirm your transcript's major aligns with computer science, software engineering, or a closely related discipline before your employer drafts the recruitment plan.
Negotiate green card filing timing at the offer stage
Ask during the offer negotiation whether PERM filing starts at hire or after a waiting period. Some employers impose a one-year tenure requirement before initiating PERM. Getting that timeline in writing protects you if team structures or priorities shift after you join.
Check prevailing wage before your employer files the LCA
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your location and role level. Run a preliminary check using the OFLC Wage Search before the LCA is submitted so you can flag any discrepancy between your offer and the required wage tier before PERM begins.
Green Card AI Platform Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an AI Platform Engineer role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Most AI Platform Engineer positions qualify for EB-2 when they require a master's degree or a bachelor's degree plus five years of specialized experience, and for EB-3 when the minimum requirement is a bachelor's degree. Your employer determines which category to file under based on the actual job duties and minimum qualifications posted during the PERM recruitment process.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for this role?
H-1B sponsorship is temporary, capped at 85,000 new slots annually, and subject to a lottery. EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship through PERM has no annual cap on employer petitions, though per-country visa number limits can create backlogs for applicants born in high-demand countries. The process takes longer but results in permanent residency rather than a renewable temporary status.
What does the PERM labor certification process involve for this job?
Your employer must conduct a DOL-prescribed recruitment campaign, document that no qualified U.S. workers applied, and certify the prevailing wage. For AI Platform Engineer roles, this typically includes job postings in newspapers, online boards, and internal notices. Once DOL approves the PERM application, your employer files the I-140 petition with USCIS to establish your place in the immigrant visa queue.
How do I find AI Platform Engineer jobs where the employer sponsors green cards?
Use Migrate Mate to filter AI Platform Engineer openings by employers with verified EB-2 and EB-3 filing history. Many companies sponsor H-1B visas but haven't committed to PERM sponsorship, so filtering by green card history narrows your list to employers who have already completed the full PERM and I-140 process for previous hires in similar roles.
Can I switch employers after my I-140 is approved but before I get my green card?
Yes, under AC21 portability rules you can change to a same or similar occupation after your I-140 has been approved and your I-485 adjustment of status application has been pending for at least 180 days. AI Platform Engineer roles in the same SOC code grouping generally qualify, but you should consult an immigration attorney before making the move to confirm the new role satisfies the similarity requirement.
