Our team is driven by culture and disciplined execution, humility, and curiosity - where AI is at the core of how we operate, innovate, and serve clients. At Solovis, you'll join a tech-forward, growth-minded team that believes in learning fast, thinking big, and delivering meaningful impact for asset owners worldwide. Our companies are not the largest or flashiest, but they are among the best-run software businesses creating value for customers and shareholders at an accelerated pace. To date, our team has built six platform companies, each culminating in multiple liquidity transactions with multi-billion-dollar valuations.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Senior Software Engineer delivers production features, modernizations, and AI-powered capabilities across our stack. This is an AI-native role. The expectation is that agentic workflows are your default mode of working, from picking up a requirement through delivery, not a supplement to your existing process.
You will work alongside our Staff Agentic Engineering Lead and pair with existing engineers to transfer agentic working habits through real, shared work on production problems. You will contribute to sprint commitments with consistency and take genuine ownership of the systems you build, including when they break.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Ensure consistent and reliable sprint performance by effectively managing and completing committed tasks.
- Contribute to the team's timely delivery, consistently meeting or exceeding the Release to Schedule targets.
- Consistently achieve or surpass software quality targets by effectively managing and reducing escaped defects in software releases.
- Consistently work towards reducing the backlog of Escaped Open Defects, improving product quality over time.
- Produce scalable and efficient code that performs well, with documentation that is comprehensive and easy to understand.
KEY QUALITIES
- Proficiency in utilizing data and analytics to make informed decisions and drive business strategies.
- Detail-oriented and organized, this individual prioritizes effectively, excels at time management, and anticipates well in decision making.
- Plays chess, not firefighting — spots problems before they exist, anticipates second- and third-order downstream impacts, and selects the intervention that compounds best. Distinction: Decisive under uncertainty is acting under incomplete information; Proactive Problem Solving is the upstream act of seeing the board clearly.
- Involves a meticulous approach to work, prioritizing accuracy and thoroughness to ensure high-quality outcomes.
- Ability to swiftly adapt to changes and maintain high performance under shifting conditions and challenges.
SKILLS
- AI proficiency
- AI-Augmented Development
- Implements Agile and Scrum methodologies to enhance project adaptability and response.
- Ensures software reliability through comprehensive unit testing.
- Utilizes web development expertise to enhance online platforms and services.
- Demonstrates expertise in SQL, .NET, and Java to develop robust software solutions.
- Manages data integration and transformation with ETL techniques for optimal data utilization.
REQUIREMENTS
- 5 to 9 years of professional software engineering experience.
- Production ownership history: you have shipped non-trivial systems and been accountable when things went wrong.
- 6 or more months of serious, production-grade agentic tool use (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent). Production work only, not pilots or experiments.
- Concrete understanding of when to let an agent run versus when to intervene, grounded in how well requirements were established before the work started.
- Demonstrated ability to build product with AI, not just use AI within existing workflows.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Senior Software Developer
Document your specialization before applying
Gather transcripts, published work, patents, or performance reviews that demonstrate expertise in a specific stack or domain. PERM requires your employer to justify why your qualifications meet the role's minimum requirements, so vague credentials create delays.
Target employers with PERM filing history
Search OFLC Wage Search to identify companies that have filed PERM applications for Software Developer roles in your target city. Prior filings signal an established internal process, which shortens your timeline once you receive an offer.
Clarify EB-2 versus EB-3 fit during negotiations
EB-2 requires a master's degree or its equivalent in a related field. If your role doesn't meet that threshold, EB-3 covers skilled workers with a bachelor's degree. Confirm which category your employer intends to file before signing an offer letter.
Ask about the prevailing wage determination upfront
DOL sets the prevailing wage for your specific role, location, and experience level before PERM begins. If your offered salary falls below that threshold, your employer must increase it or the PERM will fail. Verify this using OFLC Wage Search.
Search for sponsoring roles using Migrate Mate
Filter by green card sponsorship and job title on Migrate Mate to surface Senior Software Developer postings from employers already set up to sponsor. This eliminates the awkward early-stage conversation about whether sponsorship is even possible.
Understand how your priority date affects your timeline
USCIS assigns a priority date when your employer files the I-140 petition. For applicants born in high-demand countries like India or China, EB-3 backlogs can stretch years. Check the monthly Visa Bulletin to track your place in the queue.
Green Card Senior Software Developer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Software Developer role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Senior Software Developer positions can qualify under either category depending on how the role is defined. EB-2 applies when the position requires a master's degree or equivalent in computer science, software engineering, or a related field. EB-3 covers roles requiring a bachelor's degree. Your employer's attorney will determine the correct category based on the job description and your credentials.
How does the PERM green card process differ from H-1B sponsorship for software developers?
PERM leads to permanent residency, not a temporary work visa. There is no annual lottery, and EB-3 has no numerical cap for most countries. The process is longer overall, typically taking 18 to 36 months or more from PERM filing to I-485 approval. H-1B visa sponsorship is faster but must be renewed and carries lottery risk for new petitioners. PERM is the more stable long-term path.
Can I search for Senior Software Developer jobs that already include green card sponsorship?
Yes. Migrate Mate lets you filter specifically for Senior Software Developer roles where the employer has green card sponsorship history. This saves significant time compared to applying broadly and discovering late in the process that a company won't sponsor permanent residency. Searching by sponsorship type upfront lets you focus your effort on realistic opportunities.
What role does O*NET play in the PERM process for software developers?
O*NET provides standardized occupational definitions that employers and DOL use to classify job duties during PERM. Your employer's job description must align with the O*NET profile for the role being sponsored. If the duties listed are too narrow or inflated compared to the standard definition, DOL may audit or reject the application. Reviewing the O*NET entry for your title helps you understand what documentation will hold up to scrutiny.
What happens to my green card case if I change employers mid-process?
If you change employers before your I-140 is approved, the PERM filing is typically abandoned and must restart with the new employer. After I-140 approval and with a priority date older than 180 days, job portability rules under AC21 allow you to change to a same or similar role without losing your priority date. Confirm the role classification matches before making any move.
