Green Card Infrastructure Engineer Jobs
Infrastructure Engineer roles qualify for EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship when the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field. Employers file a PERM labor certification with DOL before sponsoring you for permanent residency, making this a direct path to a green card rather than a temporary status.

The ideal candidate combines system engineering and software development skills, can support enterprise-scale cloud environments, build compliant OS images, automate processes using Python, and troubleshoot infrastructure issues across AWS platforms.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Must have:
- AWS
- Linux Administration
- Python Automation
- Ansible
- Python API Integration
- Infrastructure Engineering
- AMI / Image Management, Image building
Job Family Description:
- Significant experience in both Systems Engineering and Software development
- Proficient in at least one of the infrastructure disciplines and functions:
- Internals of distributed Operating System (Unix/Linux, Windows, Z/OS) internals
- Systems programming
- Network programming
- Experience in large scale software development in one or more of the programming languages (C, C++, Perl, Python, Java, C#, .NET)

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Public Cloud Infrastructure team is looking for a strong candidate to join them in producing Virtual Machine Images and orchestrating distribution to thousands of subscribers in Public Clouds.
The role:
We build the automated platform that produces hardened, compliance-tested operating system images (AWS AMIs) for a large enterprise cloud estate. Every image our internal teams launch — across RHEL, Windows, macOS, and Amazon Linux — is created, customized, security-tested, and distributed by the systems this team owns, spanning multiple AWS regions and multiple environments. We maintain hundreds of image definitions and customization packages, including ARM/x86, GPU, and Kubernetes (EKS/ECS) node variants.
As a cloud infrastructure senior engineer, you'll set technical direction across two connected sides of the platform:
- Platform / Infrastructure — event-driven build pipelines using AWS Step Functions and Lambda, defined as Infrastructure as Code in CloudFormation, orchestrating the full image lifecycle from import through customization, testing, distribution, and decommissioning.
- Image customization & operations — the reusable packages, Ansible provisioning scripts, and compliance tests that define each image, delivered through a PR-driven, automated release pipeline.
What you'll do:
- Own and evolve serverless, event-driven build automation (Step Functions, Lambda, SNS, S3, EC2) that customizes machine images at scale.
- Lead Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation) that deploys consistently across many regions and accounts.
- Build and harden OS images for RHEL, Windows, macOS, and Amazon Linux, including GPU, ARM64, and Kubernetes node variants, to strict security and compliance standards.
- Raise the bar on code quality, test coverage, and CI/CD health; mentor engineers and lead technical reviews.
- Partner with OS engineering and consuming application teams to keep the image catalog secure, current, and reliable.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 7+ years in infrastructure, platform, or cloud engineering, with strong hands-on AWS experience (EC2/AMIs, Lambda, Step Functions, CloudFormation, IAM, S3, SNS).
- Custom VM Image building skills.
- Google and Azure experience is a plus.
- Hands-on experience in creating complex AI skills, agents.
- Strong Python and a solid automated-testing discipline.
- Proven ownership of production Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipelines, ideally multi-region/multi-account.
- Linux and/or Windows administration and OS hardening experience; macOS a plus.
- Configuration management (Ansible) and compliance-as-code testing (InSpec) strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated technical leadership and mentoring.
WHY JOIN
This is platform engineering with real reach: thousands of workloads boot from the images this team produces. You'll build both the automation and the product it delivers, and ship to production on a regular cadence.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as an Infrastructure Engineer
Translate your credentials into PERM language
PERM job requirements must match your actual education and experience. If your degree is in a adjacent field like computer science rather than information systems, get a credential evaluation early so your employer's job description can be written to fit what you hold.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Infrastructure Engineer roles at cloud providers, financial institutions, and large defense contractors generate consistent PERM filings. Use Migrate Mate to filter companies that have sponsored this occupation before, so you're applying to employers already familiar with the process.
Ask about EB-2 versus EB-3 placement before accepting
Your offer letter's stated minimum requirements determine which preference category your employer files under. EB-2 requires a master's degree or equivalent; EB-3 covers bachelor's-level roles. For most countries except India and China, the distinction affects cost and timeline more than wait time.
Verify the prevailing wage before your employer files
DOL must certify your offered salary meets or exceeds the prevailing wage for your location and job zone. Run your title, SOC code, and work location through the OFLC Wage Search before your employer submits the PERM application to catch mismatches early.
Understand that PERM recruitment takes months
Before USCIS sees your I-140, your employer must complete 60 days of mandatory DOL-supervised recruitment. Infrastructure Engineer roles often require advertising in specialized channels. Factor at least six to twelve months from job acceptance to I-140 filing into your timeline planning.
Document your specialized technical experience precisely
PERM audits for infrastructure roles often focus on whether your experience matches niche requirements like network architecture, IaC tooling, or hybrid cloud management. Keep dated records of projects, technologies, and scope so your employer's attestation during a PERM audit is airtight.
Green Card Infrastructure Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Infrastructure Engineer role typically qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Most Infrastructure Engineer positions are filed under EB-3 because employers set a bachelor's degree as the minimum requirement. EB-2 applies when the role genuinely requires a master's degree or when you pursue a National Interest Waiver self-petition. Your placement depends on how the employer drafts the job requirements in the PERM application, not on your personal credentials alone.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for this role?
H-1B visa is temporary, subject to an annual lottery, and tied to a specific employer. EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship through PERM leads to permanent residency with no cap concerns at the EB-3 preference level for most countries. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM plus I-140 plus adjustment of status typically takes one to three years before you receive your green card, compared to H-1B approval in a few months.
What does the PERM process look like for an Infrastructure Engineer position?
Your employer submits a PERM labor certification to DOL showing no qualified U.S. workers are available for the role. DOL requires a 60-day supervised recruitment window, including job postings and internal notices. After certification, the employer files an I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS. Once that's approved, you file for adjustment of status or an immigrant visa, depending on whether you're already in the U.S.
How do I find Infrastructure Engineer jobs where the employer will sponsor a green card?
Start your search on Migrate Mate, which filters job listings specifically by green card sponsorship history. Not every employer lists PERM willingness in a job posting, so targeting companies with past PERM filings in infrastructure roles saves time and avoids rejections late in the hiring process after you've already disclosed your sponsorship need.
Can I use O*NET data to strengthen my PERM application for an Infrastructure Engineer role?
O*NET profiles for Infrastructure Engineer and related SOC codes describe the tasks, tools, and knowledge areas DOL expects for the occupation. Your employer's PERM job description should align with O*NET's definition without requiring skills so narrow that no U.S. worker could plausibly qualify, which would trigger a PERM audit or denial. Reviewing O*NET before drafting the job order helps flag potential mismatches early.
