Join Tech @ Ro to build the future of healthcare, from the ground up!
At Ro, we believe that when people achieve their health goals, they can achieve their life goals. The highest-leverage way to move society forward is to give people their health, and the current healthcare system isn’t built to do that. It was built to bill, not to serve patients.
We’re building a new system. One where the patient is in control. One designed from scratch for the digital age.
At Ro, technology isn’t just a function… It's core to how we deliver care. We’ve built a vertically integrated healthcare platform that connects telehealth, diagnostics, pharmacy, and logistics into a seamless, end-to-end experience for millions of patients.
…and we’re just getting started.
As part of Tech @ Ro, you’ll work on systems that operate at scale, with an opportunity to:
- Solve complex, high-concurrency problems across a full-stack platform
- Build and ship quickly with tight feedback loops and real-world impact
- Own systems end-to-end, from architecture to production performance
- Work alongside experienced operators, technical leaders, and clinicians
- Help define how modern healthcare should be delivered
We’re a performance-driven team with a strong sense of ownership and urgency. We move fast, learn quickly, and hold a high bar for what we build, and do so with a big heart — because patients depend on it.
If you’re motivated by impact, scale, and the chance to help lead the patient revolution, come build with us.
THE ROLE
At Ro, our mission is to provide world-class healthcare by putting patients first - and that mission depends on reliable, secure, and scalable systems. As a Senior Backend Engineer on the infrastructure team, you’ll sit at the core of that effort: contributing to the reliability of our production systems, hardening infrastructure and building tools that empower our engineers to ship safely and confidently.
You will work across teams to drive uptime, performance and observability – partnering closely with product and security engineers. From designing resilient systems to shaping incident response practices, this is a role for engineers who thrive on impact and care deeply about operational excellence.
- Design and implement resilient infrastructure to support high availability at scale
- Build and contribute to developer tools that streamline deployment, monitoring and recovery of systems
- Partner with engineering teams to bake best practices for reliability, resilience and observability into services
- Automate infrastructure workflows using IaC and other cloud native tools
- Contribute to our culture of operational excellence, guiding engineers through reliability practices and raising the bar across the engineering org
What You’ll Bring to the Team
- Solid cross-functional communication, able to collaborate with product, platform, security and other teams
- Strong software development skills, using Go, Python, or other modern programming languages
- An operational mindset that puts reliability and resilience as a core product requirement
- A mission-driven attitude, motivated by the opportunity to make healthcare better
- Experience operating distributed services in production
- Experience with infrastructure as code using Terraform
- Experience with observability practices, such as using metrics, logging, tracing in Datadog
WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED
- Full medical, dental, and vision insurance + OneMedical membership
- Healthcare and Dependent Care FSA
- 401(k) with company match
- Flexible PTO
- Wellbeing + Learning & Growth reimbursements
- Paid parental leave + Fertility benefits
- Pet insurance
- Student loan refinancing
- Virtual resources for mindfulness, counseling, and fitness
The target base salary for this position ranges from $182,300 to $220,000, in addition to a competitive equity and benefits package (as applicable). When determining compensation, we analyze and carefully consider several factors, including location, job-related knowledge, skills and experience. These considerations may cause your compensation to vary.
Ro is consistently recognized as a top workplace in Health Care, in New York, and for Women and Parents—earning more than 20 honors from Fortune, Great Place to Work, and PEOPLE since 2021. In 2025 alone, we ranked top 5 among medium workplaces in Health Care and New York, and top 50 nationwide.
At Ro, we believe that our diverse perspectives are our biggest strengths — and that embracing them will create real change in healthcare. As an equal opportunity employer, we provide equal opportunity in all aspects of employment, including recruiting, hiring, compensation, training and promotion, termination, and any other terms and conditions of employment without regard to race, ethnicity, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, familial status, age, disability and/or any other legally protected classification protected by federal, state, or local law.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Backend Infrastructure Engineer
Document your systems architecture credentials early
Gather performance benchmarks, architecture diagrams, and project outcomes before your employer files the PERM application. DOL audits frequently request evidence that your role requires specialized skills, and specific infrastructure achievements strengthen that record.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Search the DOL's OFLC disclosure data for companies that have previously filed PERM applications under SOC codes tied to infrastructure and systems engineering roles. Prior filings signal that the employer understands the process and has internal counsel to handle it.
Clarify the EB-2 versus EB-3 pathway with your employer
Backend Infrastructure Engineer roles typically qualify under EB-3 as skilled workers, but a master's degree in computer science or equivalent may support an EB-2 petition. Ask your sponsoring employer to confirm which category they plan to file under before PERM starts.
Use Migrate Mate to find sponsoring companies by role
Filter by job title and green card sponsorship history to surface employers actively hiring backend infrastructure engineers. Migrate Mate surfaces employer PERM filing patterns so you can prioritize outreach toward companies with a real track record of sponsoring this specific role.
Understand how PERM job requirements affect your offer letter
DOL requires that the PERM job description match your actual duties, not an inflated requirements list. If the offer letter lists skills you don't have, USCIS can challenge the I-140 petition later. Review the job description against your resume before signing.
Account for priority date backlogs in your offer negotiation
If you're born in India or China, EB-2 and EB-3 priority date backlogs can extend your wait significantly beyond the PERM filing date. Negotiate your employment start date and visa bridging terms with that timeline in mind, not just the initial PERM processing window.
Green Card Backend Infrastructure Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Backend Infrastructure Engineer role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Most Backend Infrastructure Engineer positions qualify for EB-3 sponsorship as skilled workers requiring at least two years of training or experience. If the role requires a master's degree or equivalent in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field, your employer may be able to file under EB-2 instead. The PERM job description determines which category applies, so the requirements listed in the labor certification are what USCIS evaluates.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for backend infrastructure roles?
H-1B visa status is temporary and tied to annual cap seasons and lottery selection, while a PERM-based green card leads to permanent residency with no renewal requirement. There's no annual cap lottery for EB-3 petitions the way there is for H-1B registrations. The tradeoff is time: PERM, I-140, and adjustment of status typically take two to four years for most nationalities, compared to an H-1B that can approve in weeks with premium processing.
What does the PERM labor certification process require from my employer?
Your employer must conduct a supervised DOL recruitment process to demonstrate no qualified U.S. worker is available for the Backend Infrastructure Engineer position. This includes posting the job through specific channels, documenting applicant rejections with lawful reasons, and submitting the ETA Form 9089 to DOL. The entire recruitment window typically runs 60 to 90 days before the PERM application can be filed.
How can I find employers who will sponsor a green card for this role?
Searching by job title alone won't tell you which employers have actually completed PERM filings for infrastructure engineering roles. Migrate Mate indexes DOL labor certification data so you can filter by job title and see which companies have a demonstrated history of sponsoring Backend Infrastructure Engineer positions specifically, helping you focus your applications on employers with a real track record.
Can I change jobs after my employer files the PERM application?
Changing employers resets the PERM process entirely, because the labor certification is tied to the specific employer and job description. If your I-140 has already been approved and you've been in adjustment of status for more than 180 days, portability rules under AC21 may let you move to a similar role without losing your priority date. Before accepting a competing offer, confirm with an immigration attorney whether your case has reached that threshold.
