Our PayPal, Venmo, and Xoom products also make it safer and simpler for friends and family to transfer funds to each other. We offer merchants an end-to-end payments solution that provides authorization and settlement capabilities, as well as instant access to funds and payouts. We also help merchants connect with their customers, process exchanges and returns, and manage risk.

Engineering at Venmo
At Venmo, we are creating a product that people love. We strive to create a delightful user experience while connecting the world and empowering people through payments. We are looking for intellectually curious people who want to be inspired and inspire others to change the world.
Engineering is a craft, and at Venmo we want the internals of our software to be as elegant as the end user experience we are designing. We spend our days scaling our infrastructure and building new features to meet and exceed our users’ needs and wants. We work with a product team that is data-driven and human-centered in its design principles. We teach and learn from one another and push each other to be at our creative and analytical bests.
Job Description: Cloud/DevOps Engineer
Our team is dedicated to ensuring the seamless operation of all user-facing services, as well as production and development systems. We manage Venmo’s infrastructure comprehensively, encompassing operations, automation, security, compliance, and release engineering. While we are focused on Cloud Engineering, our work integrates elements of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and DevOps projects as well. On the DevOps front, we oversee CI/CD infrastructure, develop smart and secure pipelines, implement self-service secret management systems, create development environments, and establish microservices scaffolding and testing frameworks. The quality of the systems we build is paramount to the company, and we prioritize it highly.

As a Senior Engineer, you will deliver complete solutions spanning all phases of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).

- Leading by example, making meaningful contributions to the improvement of engineering teams’ production operations.
- Develop and improve tools and automation to manage infrastructure and application configuration as code.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Devops Engineer
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
Your degree must map directly to DevOps engineering, not just broadly to IT. A computer science or software engineering degree strengthens your case; a general business degree with an IT minor likely won't clear the specialty occupation threshold consular officers apply to H-1B1 visa petitions.
Search verified sponsors using Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Senior DevOps Engineer roles by employers with documented H-1B1 Singapore LCA filing history. This narrows your search to companies that have already completed DOL wage certification for your occupation, cutting out speculative outreach to visa-inexperienced hiring teams.
Target employers already enrolled in E-Verify
H-1B1 visa sponsoring employers must be E-Verify participants. Confirm enrollment before investing in the application process. Companies without active E-Verify accounts cannot legally onboard H-1B1 workers, and many mid-size tech teams are unaware of this requirement until late in hiring.
Request an LCA before accepting any offer
The employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with DOL before your consulate appointment. Ask your recruiter to confirm LCA filing is in progress once you receive an offer. Delays here directly push back your start date, since consular scheduling opens only after certification.
Benchmark your offer against OFLC prevailing wages
Run the OFLC Wage Search using the Software Developer or DevOps-adjacent SOC code for your work location before negotiating. Your offer must meet or exceed the prevailing wage DOL certifies for that role and metro area, so entering negotiations informed protects both you and your employer's LCA accuracy.
Book your Singapore consulate appointment strategically
H-1B1 visa interviews are handled at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore without a USCIS approval notice. Appointment wait times fluctuate, so schedule as soon as your LCA is certified. Arriving with your certified LCA, job offer letter, and DS-160 confirmation minimizes the risk of administrative processing delays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior DevOps Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes. Senior DevOps Engineer positions consistently meet the specialty occupation standard because the work requires theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge in computer science, systems engineering, or information technology. Most U.S. employers hiring at the senior level require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field, satisfying the USCIS definition. O*NET classifies DevOps-related roles in Job Zone 4, supporting specialty occupation status.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa differ from the H-1B for DevOps engineers?
The H-1B1 Singapore visa skips the H-1B lottery entirely and is processed at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore rather than through USCIS. The annual cap is 5,400 visas for Singaporean nationals and has never been reached, so timing isn't driven by lottery odds. The trade-off is that H-1B visa1 status doesn't inherently allow dual intent, which affects long-term immigration planning differently than the H-1B.
How can I find Senior DevOps Engineer jobs where the employer already understands H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this. It filters job listings by employers with verified H-1B1 Singapore LCA filing history, so you're applying to companies that have already completed DOL wage certification for DevOps roles rather than educating a recruiter about the visa from scratch. That filing history is public DOL disclosure data, not employer self-reporting.
What documents does a Singaporean DevOps engineer need for the H-1B1 consulate interview?
You'll need your certified LCA, the original job offer letter specifying your title and salary, your DS-160 confirmation page, a valid Singaporean passport, passport photos, and your degree certificates or transcripts. If your degree field doesn't map exactly to DevOps, bring supporting documentation such as transcripts showing relevant coursework or a credential evaluation. USCIS does not issue an approval notice for H-1B1 visa applications processed at the consulate.
Can I switch employers after starting work on an H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, but your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and go through consular processing again. Unlike the H-1B portability rule, H-1B1 visa status doesn't allow you to start with a new employer while an amended petition is pending. Plan for a gap between roles or time the transition so your new employer's LCA is certified before your current status ends.
