Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as a Full-stack Software Engineer
Verify your CIP code before applying
Your STEM OPT extension depends on your degree's Classification of Instructional Programs code matching a STEM-designated field. Ask your DSO to confirm your program's CIP code is on the SEVP STEM list before you start the extension process.
Filter job listings by E-Verify status
Only employers enrolled in E-Verify can legally hire you on STEM OPT. Check a company's E-Verify participation before investing time in an application. Migrate Mate filters Full-stack Software Engineer roles by verified E-Verify enrollment so you don't waste interviews on ineligible employers.
Target teams with prior OPT hiring history
Engineering teams that have hired F-1 students before understand I-983 training plans and USCIS reporting cycles. Prioritize companies with dedicated HR processes for F-1 work authorization rather than those encountering it for the first time.
Draft your I-983 training plan alongside your offer negotiation
The I-983 must name specific learning objectives tied to your STEM degree, not generic job duties. Start outlining measurable goals aligned to your computer science or software engineering coursework while you're still reviewing the offer, so it's ready to file on your start date.
Benchmark your offered salary against DOL prevailing wages
Full-stack Software Engineer falls under SOC code 15-1252. Use the OFLC Wage Search to pull the Level I through Level IV prevailing wage for your employer's location before accepting an offer. Accepting below the applicable wage level can create compliance problems for your employer during USCIS audits.
Understand cap-gap coverage before your OPT expires
If your employer files an H-1B petition on your behalf before your OPT EAD expires and you're selected in the lottery, cap-gap automatically extends your work authorization through September 30. Confirm with your DSO that your I-20 reflects the cap-gap period before your EAD end date.

Find Full-stack Software Engineer JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does a Full-stack Software Engineer role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, Full-stack Software Engineer qualifies under SOC code 15-1252, which falls within STEM-designated fields recognized by SEVP. Your degree must also carry a STEM-designated CIP code, such as computer science (11.0701) or software engineering (14.0903). Your DSO confirms both the degree CIP code and the role match before recommending the extension on your I-20.
What E-Verify requirement does my employer need to meet for STEM OPT?
Your employer must be actively enrolled in E-Verify, not just registered. Enrollment means the company has completed the memorandum of understanding with DHS and can run employment eligibility verification through the E-Verify system. You can ask your HR contact for the company's E-Verify employer ID number to confirm active participation before you file your I-983 training plan.
What goes into the I-983 training plan for a software engineering role?
The I-983 must connect your job duties to specific knowledge, skills, and competencies from your STEM degree. For Full-stack Software Engineer roles, this typically means identifying how frontend architecture, backend systems design, or database engineering directly applies learning from your coursework. Generic duty lists aren't sufficient. USCIS expects measurable learning objectives and a supervision structure with a named supervisor.
How does cap-gap work if my employer sponsors my H-1B while I'm on STEM OPT?
If your employer files an H-1B petition before your STEM OPT EAD expires and USCIS selects you in the H-1B lottery, your work authorization automatically extends through September 30 of that year under cap-gap rules. Your DSO must update your I-20 to reflect the cap-gap extension. You can continue working as a Full-stack Software Engineer without interruption during that period as long as the petition remains pending or approved.
Where can I find Full-stack Software Engineer jobs at E-Verify enrolled employers?
Migrate Mate lists Full-stack Software Engineer roles filtered by employers enrolled in E-Verify, so you can confirm STEM OPT eligibility before applying. You can also cross-reference a company's E-Verify participation directly through the E-Verify employer search tool maintained by DHS. Combining both approaches lets you target roles where you're authorized to work without relying on the employer to self-report.
