You want more out of a career. A place to share your ideas freely — even if they’re daring or different. Where the true you can learn, grow, and thrive. At Verizon, we power and empower how people live, work and play by connecting them to what brings them joy. We do what we love — driving innovation, creativity, and impact in the world. Our V Team is a community of people who anticipate, lead, and believe that listening is where learning begins. In crisis and in celebration, we come together — lifting our communities and building trust in how we show up, everywhere & always. Want in? Join the #VTeamLife.
We're building an internal API Gateway platform that consolidates network operations, project management, and AI-assisted tooling for a global network engineering organization. You'll design and ship APIs, widgets, and AI agents that run against production data center inventory (Cisco Nexus, Pica8, Arista) and drive real infrastructure decisions — site refreshes, tech refreshes, NAC deployments, and switch migrations across dozens of enterprise sites.
This is a hands-on builder role. You'll write the API, design the schema, build the Vue.js view, wire up the agent, and own the outcome end-to-end.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Designing and build REST APIs (Node.js) against Postgres, with versioning, input schemas, caching, and hybrid NP/prod auth models.
- Building widgets and Vue.js views that surface network inventory and operational metrics (counts dashboards, site status, work-item boards).
- Configuring and extending AI agents (MCP servers, tool bindings, prompt design) that assist network engineers with day-to-day ops.
- Modelling relational data for work-item tracking, project management, and CMDB-adjacent inventory.
- Owning the full lifecycle: schema migration API widget agent tool PR prod deploy.
- Debugging across the stack: platform security policies, credential vaults, DB pool exhaustion, agent tool-call failures.
- Collaborating with network engineers to translate ops asks ("we need a counts page showing X Nexus, Y Pica8") into shipped features.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor’s degree or one or more years of relevant work experience.
- One or more years of relevant work experience, demonstrated through one or a combination of work and/or military experience, or specialized training.
- Experience in JavaScript/Node.js — async patterns, REST handler design, error handling.
- Experience with AI agents / LLM tool-use patterns (MCP, function calling, agent orchestration).
- Frontend fundamentals — Vue.js (or React), HTML/CSS, browser networking, state management for dashboards.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Network engineering domain knowledge (Cisco Nexus, Pica8, Arista, NAC, VXLAN, data center refresh workflows).
- Strong SQL and relational modeling — Postgres preferred; comfortable writing migrations, joins, and parameterized queries.
- API design discipline — input validation, versioning, idempotency, auth, rate limiting.
- Git workflow proficiency — branching, PR hygiene, disciplined commits, comfortable with staged/unstaged distinctions.
- Debugging across boundaries — reading platform errors, tracing failures from UI API DB external system.
- Security-aware coding — credential vaults, secrets handling, least privilege, understanding prod vs non-prod boundaries.
- Clear written communication — turning fuzzy asks into scoped work items; documentation others can act on.
- Project management systems (PMO, epics/stories/tasks) and integrations with them.
- Prior work on internal developer platforms or low-code/API-gateway tooling.
- Experience with ServiceNow, CMDB, or IT asset management systems.
What Success Looks Like in Year One
- You've shipped multiple end-to-end features (schema API UI agent tool) that network engineers use weekly.
- You've reduced manual toil for at least one recurring ops workflow.
- You've extended the platform's agent capabilities so engineers can get answers conversationally instead of navigating dashboards.
If Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.
LOCATION
In this hybrid role, you'll have a defined work location that includes working from home and a minimum of three days per week in the office, which will be set by your manager. Employees are responsible for maintaining compliance with hybrid work policies.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as a Full Stack Product Engineer
Verify your CIP code before applying
Your STEM OPT extension depends on your degree's Classification of Instructional Programs code matching an approved STEM list. Confirm with your DSO that your computer science, software engineering, or information systems CIP code qualifies before submitting any extension paperwork.
Check E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
Only employers enrolled in E-Verify can legally employ STEM OPT workers. Search the E-Verify employer search tool by company name before signing an offer letter. Skipping this step can void your extension authorization entirely.
Build a portfolio that demonstrates full-stack depth
Hiring managers for Full Stack Product Engineer roles screen for end-to-end ownership. Deploy at least one project showing frontend, backend, and database integration with documented architecture decisions. This directly offsets concerns about OPT timeline constraints during technical interviews.
Target companies with existing STEM OPT I-983 processes
Companies that have sponsored STEM OPT students before already have I-983 training plan templates and HR workflows in place. Asking an interviewer whether they've hired STEM OPT engineers previously reveals onboarding readiness without raising visa concerns prematurely.
Use Migrate Mate to filter for E-Verify employers
Search Full Stack Product Engineer roles on Migrate Mate to find employers already verified for STEM OPT hiring. Migrate Mate surfaces DOL Labor Condition Application data so you can see which companies have active sponsorship history before reaching the offer stage.
Negotiate your start date around I-983 filing timelines
Your DSO must update your SEVIS record before your STEM OPT extension begins. The filing window opens 90 days before your current OPT expires. Align your target start date with this window so your authorization is active on day one of employment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Full Stack Product Engineer role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, if your underlying degree is in a STEM field such as computer science, software engineering, or information technology and carries an approved CIP code. The role itself must also be directly related to your degree. Your DSO verifies the degree-to-role connection when approving your I-983 training plan. Review the USCIS STEM OPT extension guidance to confirm your specific degree qualifies.
What does the I-983 training plan need to cover for an engineering role like this?
The I-983 must describe specific learning objectives tied to your STEM degree, not just your day-to-day job duties. For a Full Stack Product Engineer, that means documenting goals around system architecture, software development lifecycle practices, and technical problem-solving. Both you and your employer sign the form, and your DSO submits it. USCIS can audit I-983s, so vague language about general coding work is insufficient.
How do I confirm my employer is enrolled in E-Verify before accepting a Full Stack Product Engineer offer?
Use the E-Verify employer search tool, which is publicly accessible through the E-Verify program site. Search by company name or employer identification number. Enrollment status must be active at the time your STEM OPT extension begins. If your employer is not enrolled, they cannot legally employ you under STEM OPT, and starting work anyway puts your immigration status at risk.
What happens to my work authorization if my STEM OPT expires while an H-1B petition is pending?
If your employer files an H-1B visa petition on your behalf before your STEM OPT end date and you're selected in the lottery, cap-gap protection extends your OPT authorization through September 30 of that fiscal year. You can continue working as a Full Stack Product Engineer during this period. USCIS administers cap-gap, and your DSO updates your I-20 to reflect the extended authorization.
Where can I find Full Stack Product Engineer jobs that are open to STEM OPT candidates?
Search on Migrate Mate, which filters listings by employers with active DOL Labor Condition Application history, showing you companies that have sponsored work authorization before. This saves time compared to screening generic job listings where E-Verify enrollment and sponsorship willingness are unknown. Migrate Mate lets you focus your applications on employers already set up for STEM OPT hiring.
