Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as a Genai Software Engineer
Verify your CIP code before applying
Check that your degree's Classification of Instructional Programs code maps to a DHS-designated STEM field. Computer science, data science, and electrical engineering codes qualify. A mismatch between your transcript and your I-20 can block the extension before it starts.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
Ask hiring managers directly whether the company is enrolled in E-Verify before you reach the offer stage. STEM OPT authorization requires it, and smaller GenAI startups frequently aren't enrolled yet, even if they're willing to sponsor.
Build an I-983 training plan around GenAI deliverables
Your I-983 must tie your GenAI work to specific learning objectives and your degree field. Document model development, fine-tuning pipelines, or RAG architecture work as concrete training goals. Vague job descriptions get flagged by DSOs and can delay your extension.
Use OFLC Wage Search to benchmark your offer
GenAI Software Engineer roles span multiple SOC codes, each with a different prevailing wage. Run your job title and work location through the OFLC Wage Search to confirm your offer meets at least the Level I wage. An underpaid offer can complicate future H-1B sponsorship.
Target employers with H-1B filing history on Migrate Mate
Search GenAI Software Engineer roles on Migrate Mate to see which employers have active DOL Labor Condition Application filing history. Companies that already file LCAs understand visa timelines and are far more likely to support your OPT-to-H-1B transition without hesitation.
Time your extension filing to protect cap-gap coverage
Submit your STEM OPT extension application to USCIS at least 90 days before your initial OPT EAD expires. If you're also in an H-1B lottery year, a timely filing preserves your cap-gap work authorization through October 1 even if USCIS hasn't adjudicated your I-765 yet.

Find Genai Software Engineer JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does a GenAI Software Engineer role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, if your degree is in a DHS-designated STEM field such as computer science, data science, or electrical engineering and the role directly applies that training. The job title alone doesn't determine eligibility. Your DSO reviews the I-983 training plan to confirm the work aligns with your degree's CIP code. Roles focused on large language model development, fine-tuning, or AI infrastructure typically satisfy this alignment requirement.
What E-Verify requirement applies to my STEM OPT employer?
Your employer must be enrolled in E-Verify before you can be authorized to work under the STEM OPT extension. This is a federal requirement enforced by ICE. Enrollment isn't the same as simply using E-Verify for one hire. Ask the recruiter or HR team for the company's E-Verify employer ID to confirm active enrollment before you sign an offer letter.
What goes into the I-983 training plan for a GenAI role?
The I-983 requires you and your employer to document specific learning objectives tied to your STEM degree, the supervision structure, and how the role develops your skills. For GenAI positions, this means describing concrete technical work such as training pipelines, prompt engineering, model evaluation, or deployment infrastructure. Generic descriptions like 'software development' aren't sufficient. USCIS guidance requires objectives specific enough to evaluate whether training goals are being met.
How does cap-gap work if I'm on STEM OPT and selected in the H-1B lottery?
If you file a timely H-1B petition before your STEM OPT EAD expires and USCIS receives it by the cap-gap start date, your work authorization automatically extends through September 30. If your H-1B petition is approved with an October 1 start date, you're covered continuously without a gap. If your petition is denied, your STEM OPT authorization ends and you enter a 60-day grace period. USCIS publishes cap-gap guidance on its OPT pages.
Where can I find GenAI Software Engineer jobs with E-Verify employers?
Migrate Mate filters GenAI Software Engineer listings to show employers with verified E-Verify enrollment and active DOL Labor Condition Application filing history, so you're not wasting applications on companies that can't legally hire you under STEM OPT. You can search by role, location, and employer filing history to prioritize companies already familiar with OPT and H-1B sponsorship workflows.
