Green Card Developer Jobs
Developer roles qualify for EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship through the PERM labor certification process, where your employer documents that no qualified U.S. worker is available for the position. Software and web development occupations consistently appear in DOL PERM filings, making sponsorship a realistic path for foreign professionals with a relevant degree and employer backing.

AI at SharkNinja
At SharkNinja, we're building an AI-native culture. We're not waiting for the future; we're creating it. Our people are expected to experiment boldly, adopt new tools, and continuously raise what's possible to create meaningful impact for our consumers. If you believe the best way to do your job hasn't been invented yet, you'll fit right in.
Senior Embedded Firmware Developer
Needham, MA
The Opportunity
This is the hands-on device firmware role at SharkNinja — you write the code that ships. Two things sit with you: the firmware features SharkNinja deliberately keeps in-house (device control and the differentiated features that make our products distinct), and the platform layer that other programs build on top of (reference implementations, hardware abstraction, and shared device firmware components).
The architecture, interface contracts, HAL boundaries, and platform selection criteria are already defined. Your work is building to those decisions: production feature code end to end, plus the reference implementations and platform components that prove the architecture out for every program and partner that follows.
What You'll Own
Firmware Delivery
- Design, implement, and debug production embedded firmware for consumer and home appliance products.
- Features end to end — requirements clarification, implementation, unit test, integration, and release support.
- Building in the retained areas: device control, OTA, and differentiated product features.
- Development against the architecture, interface, and HAL standards — adopting platform components rather than rebuilding them.
Platform Implementation
- Implement the defined reference architectures and implementations for platform capabilities reused across product categories.
- Build and maintain hardware abstraction (HAL) layers, shared drivers, and core device firmware components: motor control, sensor and actuator integration, and power management.
- Build to the defined interface contracts and platform decisions.
- Prototype technology options to de-risk decisions ahead of program commitment.
Design Review & Partner Governance
- Participate in technical design reviews for internal and partner-developed firmware.
- Review partner-delivered code and integrate it against SharkNinja standards.
- Turn architectural intent into working reference code and shipped features that partners and other programs can build against without interpretation.
- Support partner technical capability assessments with hands-on evaluation of delivered code.
Engineering Standards & Infrastructure
- Write unit tests and maintain code coverage against the standard applied across internal and supplier code; resolve static analysis findings, with no unresolved critical or high-severity issues at release.
- Build and maintain CI pipeline, static analysis configuration, and test-harness infrastructure for owned features and platform components.
- Verify the reproducibility standard in practice — confirm that source, toolchain, and build manifest deliverables actually rebuild the shipping binary.
- Work in feature branches with PR-gated merges, ticket-linked commits, and commit messages sufficient to generate release notes.
Collaboration & Technical Growth
- Work under the technical direction of Principal Engineers on platform capabilities and design review, building toward broader architectural scope over time.
- Bring up firmware on target hardware and debug hardware-software integration issues with Hardware Engineering.
- Partner with Systems Engineering and NPD on device-level requirements and integration.
- Coordinate with firmware engineers in other regions to drive continuous improvement.
What You'll Bring
Experience
- 5+ years of embedded software and firmware development.
- Production firmware you've delivered and shipped in commercial products.
- Building to an architecture defined by others — implementing reference designs, drivers, or platform components from documented interface contracts.
- Consumer electronics, home appliances, robotics, or comparable high-volume products (preferred).
- CI/CD, automated testing, or build infrastructure for embedded systems (strongly preferred).
- Reviewing or integrating code from external development partners (an advantage).
Technical Expertise
- Strong embedded C; C++ on resource-constrained platforms.
- Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS).
- Hardware abstraction layer implementation and platform portability.
- Microcontroller peripherals, drivers, and low-level hardware interfaces.
- Motor control, sensor/actuator integration, and power management.
- Git-based workflows, CI builds (gcc, CMake, headless), unit testing (Ceedling or equivalent), static analysis.
- Debug on target hardware — oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD, trace.
- OTA update mechanisms and device security fundamentals.
Education
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline required.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Developer
Align your degree to the role
PERM requires your degree field to directly match the Developer position. A computer science or software engineering degree is straightforward, but an unrelated degree paired with a relevant specialization can work if the employer documents the requirement carefully.
Target employers with active PERM histories
Search OFLC disclosure data by job title and employer to find companies that have filed PERM applications for Developer roles before. Repeat filers understand the process and are less likely to stall mid-sponsorship due to internal HR confusion.
Use Migrate Mate to filter by sponsoring employers
Filter Developer job listings by green card sponsorship history on Migrate Mate so you only apply to employers already familiar with PERM filing requirements, cutting out time spent on companies that will decline once sponsorship comes up.
Confirm the role meets specialty occupation standards
Your Developer job must require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field to qualify for PERM. Generic titles like 'programmer' sometimes draw scrutiny, so ensure the job description reflects specialized technical duties that justify the degree requirement.
Negotiate sponsorship timing before accepting an offer
PERM filing cannot begin until you are employed, and the full EB-2 or EB-3 process typically runs two to five years from labor certification through adjustment of status. Clarify whether your employer will initiate PERM within the first year of your start date.
Check your priority date against the visa bulletin
For Developer roles sponsored under EB-3, nationals from India and China face multi-year backlogs due to per-country caps. Review the USCIS visa bulletin each month to track your priority date and plan your adjustment of status filing window.
Green Card Developer: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Developer roles qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Developer roles qualify for EB-3 as skilled workers requiring a bachelor's degree. Positions demanding an advanced degree or demonstrating specialized expertise may qualify for EB-2 instead. The PERM labor certification filing must specify the minimum education and experience the role genuinely requires, and USCIS will assess the petition against that documentation.
How does PERM green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for a Developer role?
H-1B visa is a temporary nonimmigrant status capped at 85,000 new visas annually and subject to a lottery. PERM-based green card sponsorship is permanent residency with no annual cap at the petition level, though country-of-birth backlogs apply at the visa number stage. The PERM process also takes longer up front, typically one to three years before you receive your green card.
What does the PERM labor certification process require from your employer?
Your employer must conduct a supervised recruitment campaign defined by DOL to demonstrate no qualified U.S. worker is available for the Developer role at the offered wage. This includes job postings, newspaper ads, and documented rejections of U.S. applicants. The employer then files the ETA Form 9089 through the PERM system, and DOL audits a percentage of cases before certifying.
How can I find Developer jobs where the employer already sponsors green cards?
Migrate Mate lets you search Developer positions filtered by employers with documented green card sponsorship history, so you can focus your applications on companies that have already navigated PERM filings. This saves significant time compared to applying broadly and discovering an employer's sponsorship limitations only after multiple interview rounds.
Does my country of birth affect how long my Developer green card takes?
Yes. Nationals from India and China face the longest waits under EB-3 due to per-country annual limits, sometimes stretching beyond a decade. Nationals from most other countries face little to no backlog at the EB-3 level and may receive their green card within two to four years of PERM filing, depending on USCIS processing times.
