Overview
The Financial Risk Management (FRM) team builds real-time monitoring, data visualization, and AI-driven automation systems to ensure platform integrity. We are seeking a Senior Full-Stack Engineer (backend-leaning) to architect scalable data systems, microservices, and AI-powered workflows while also delivering high-quality frontend experiences. You will design end-to-end systems spanning databases, APIs, AI integrations (LLMs/agents), and React-based dashboards handling real-time risk data with low latency.
Key Responsibilities
- System Design & Backend Architecture: Build scalable, low-latency systems for real-time risk data; design SQL/NoSQL schemas and data pipelines.
- APIs & Microservices: Develop REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, and gRPC services; implement microservices and MCP-based AI integrations.
- AI/LLM Integration: Deploy production LLM systems (OpenAI, Anthropic); build agent workflows using LangGraph, CrewAI, function calling, and tool-use patterns.
- Frontend Delivery: Convert Figma/prototypes into React + TypeScript apps; manage state using Redux/Saga or Zustand; use TanStack Query for server state.
- Performance & Observability: Optimize real-time systems; implement AI observability tools (LangSmith, Opik), retry logic, and hallucination detection.
- AI-Driven Development: Use tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Codex to accelerate development and refactoring.
Required Qualifications
- 7+ years of software engineering experience in scalable backend and system design, with full-stack exposure.
- Strong expertise in Python (FastAPI/Flask) and Node.js.
- Advanced frontend skills in React + TypeScript.
- Deep experience with REST, WebSockets, gRPC, and real-time systems.
- Strong understanding of caching and state management (Redis, TanStack Query, Zustand, Redux).
- Hands-on experience with LLM tooling (LangChain, LlamaIndex, DSPy, Smolagents) and prompt engineering.
- Experience using AI-powered dev tools (Cursor, Copilot, etc.).
Nice to Have
- Background in anomaly detection, compliance systems, or workflow automation (Celery, Temporal, Cadence).
- Familiarity with rapid prototyping tools (v0.dev, Lovable).

Align your resume to specialty occupation criteria
USCIS evaluates whether your role requires a specific bachelor's degree field. Frame your resume around the technical depth of your stack rather than breadth, so the connection between your degree and your engineering responsibilities is explicit.
Verify prevailing wage before accepting an offer
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the prevailing level for your SOC code and work location. Run the OFLC Wage Search before negotiating to confirm the offer clears the DOL threshold for your metro area.
Target employers with cap-exempt filing pathways
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and certain government-affiliated employers can file H-1B petitions outside the annual cap. Senior Full Stack Engineers at these organizations bypass the lottery entirely, making them worth prioritizing if you haven't yet cleared the cap.
Search LCA filing history on Migrate Mate
Filter by your job title and metro area on Migrate Mate to see which employers have active DOL Labor Condition Application records for full-stack roles. That filing history confirms the employer has already navigated the H-1B process for comparable positions.
Clarify remote-work implications with your employer
If you'll work from a location different from the petitioned worksite, your employer needs a new LCA and may need to post notices at the remote location. Raise this before filing so DOL compliance is built into the petition from the start.
Use your 60-day grace period strategically
If your current H-1B employment ends, you have a 60-day grace period to secure a new sponsor. A new employer can file a transfer petition that lets you start working upon receipt, so prioritize employers who can move quickly through offer and LCA certification.
H-1B Visa Senior Full Stack Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Full Stack Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the position genuinely requires at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. Roles that accept any degree regardless of field can face RFEs from USCIS. Your employer's job description should tie specific technical responsibilities to that degree requirement, and your own credentials should match the field stated in the LCA.
How do I find companies that actively sponsor H-1B visas for full-stack roles?
Migrate Mate shows verified DOL Labor Condition Application filing history by job title and location, so you can identify employers who have sponsored full-stack engineers before rather than guessing from job postings. LCA records are public and reflect actual filing activity, which is a more reliable signal than whether a company lists 'visa sponsorship available' on a job board.
Can I switch employers while on H-1B without losing my status?
Yes. Under H-1B portability, you can start working for a new employer as soon as they file a transfer petition, as long as you're in valid H-1B status and the petition is non-frivolous. You don't need to wait for approval. Make sure the new LCA is certified before the petition is filed, and confirm your current I-94 is still valid at the time of transfer.
What happens if my full-stack role evolves significantly after the H-1B is approved?
If your duties change materially, especially if you move into a different SOC code or management-heavy role, your employer may need to file an amended petition with USCIS. Small expansions within the same technical scope generally don't require amendment, but a shift from individual contributor to engineering manager with different degree requirements typically does. Confirm with your employer's immigration counsel before the role changes.
Does my tech stack or seniority level affect how USCIS evaluates my H-1B petition?
Seniority matters because senior roles typically carry stronger specialty occupation arguments. The O*NET profile for software developers classifies the occupation in Job Zone 4, requiring substantial preparation and a related degree. USCIS looks at whether the complexity of your responsibilities is consistent with that classification. A senior-level scope with architecture, system design, and cross-functional ownership reinforces the specialty occupation case more than a generalist description would.
