Role Overview
Titan engineers are building the systems to power a next-generation RIA prepared to scale well beyond our $1B AUM. Working alongside former founders, Google & Meta Engineers, we are seeking a Principal Backend / Infrastructure Engineer to help architect, build, and scale the core systems that power our financial platform. You’ll work on our backend services, trading systems, real-time APIs, data pipelines, automated workflows, and infrastructure in ways that are secure, scalable, and resilient. This is a high-impact role where your technical decisions will directly affect platform reliability and performance at scale.
Core Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs using Node.js and TypeScript.
- Improve and extend the infrastructure that enables trading, account management, transaction processing, and portfolio automation.
- Ensure high availability, performance, and security across backend systems powering millions of daily operations.
- Build and enhance internal tools, data pipelines, and system integrations.
- Extend our devOps/infrastructure to shape CI/CD, deployment automation, observability, monitoring, and incident response.
- Champion best practices for code quality, system design, testing, and documentation.
- Mentor junior engineers and drive architectural initiatives across the backend domain.
Qualifications
- 6+ years of professional experience building backend systems in TypeScript or comparable languages (Node.js preferred).
- Strong backend fundamentals: APIs, microservices, distributed systems, data stores, caching, messaging systems.
- Experience with database design (SQL & NoSQL), scaling patterns, performance optimization, and observability.
- Deep experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and infrastructure as code.
- Solid understanding of security practices for backend systems (authentication, authorization, data protection).
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
What Makes You Stand Out
- Experience building financial or real-time services.
- Familiarity with automated portfolio, trading, or financial data systems.
- Previous ownership of backend infrastructure or mission-critical systems.
- Experience scaling apps used by tens of thousands of users with high throughput.
Compensation Range: $150K - $300K

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Backend Infrastructure Engineer
Map your role to the right SOC code
Backend infrastructure work spans multiple DOL Standard Occupational Classification codes. Confirm your job duties align with SOC 15-1299 or 15-1244 before your employer files the LCA, since mismatches can trigger RFEs at the I-129 stage.
Verify prevailing wage before negotiating salary
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level I through Level IV wage for your specific SOC code and work location. Your offered salary must meet or exceed the certified wage, and this floor is non-negotiable regardless of what the employer wants to pay.
Target employers with cap-exempt filing history
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government-affiliated entities are cap-exempt and can file H-1B petitions year-round. Infrastructure engineering roles at these organizations skip the annual lottery entirely, which matters if you're approaching the end of your OPT or grace period.
Filter for infrastructure-specific H-1B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Search Migrate Mate to identify employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history for backend and infrastructure roles. Targeting companies with a documented sponsorship record for your specific function cuts time spent on employers who sponsor selectively or only for other engineering disciplines.
Front-load the specialty occupation documentation
Backend infrastructure engineering sometimes draws RFEs because job duties can look operational rather than theoretical. Ask your employer to include an organizational chart, technical project scopes, and degree requirement evidence in the initial I-129 filing rather than waiting for USCIS to ask.
Use premium processing if your start date is fixed
USCIS premium processing guarantees a decision within 15 business days on an I-129 petition. If your employer has a hard onboarding date or your OPT cap-gap window is tight, request premium processing in the original filing rather than upgrading later, which resets the clock.
H-1B Visa Backend Infrastructure Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a backend infrastructure engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as computer science, computer engineering, or information systems. The specialty occupation test focuses on the job duties, not the job title. Roles that mix infrastructure work with general IT support may face closer scrutiny, so the employer's job description should emphasize design, architecture, and systems engineering responsibilities.
How do I find employers that actively sponsor H-1B visas for backend infrastructure engineers?
Search Migrate Mate to browse backend infrastructure engineering roles filtered by verified H-1B LCA filing history. Focusing on employers with a documented track record for this specific function reduces the risk of pursuing companies that sponsor only selectively or only for software development roles rather than infrastructure-focused positions.
What happens to my H-1B status if I switch from a product company to a cloud services company?
Changing employers requires your new employer to file an H-1B transfer petition before you start work. The SOC code, prevailing wage level, and specialty occupation classification are re-evaluated at that point. If your role shifts from pure infrastructure engineering to a broader DevOps or platform operations scope, the new LCA must reflect those duties accurately or an RFE becomes likely.
Can backend infrastructure engineers use the O*NET profile to support their H-1B petition?
Yes. The O*NET profile for related occupational codes lists typical education requirements and core tasks that USCIS adjudicators reference when evaluating specialty occupation. Your employer's attorney can cite the O*NET job zone and degree requirement data in the I-129 cover letter to establish that the position normally requires a qualifying bachelor's degree.
Does remote work affect the H-1B petition for a backend infrastructure engineering role?
Yes. H-1B status is tied to the place of employment listed on the certified LCA. If you work remotely from a different metro area than where the employer filed, a new LCA must be certified for that work location. For distributed infrastructure teams, employers often file blanket LCAs covering multiple worksites, but you should confirm this before accepting a remote arrangement in a new city.
