Position Summary
The Power Platform Developer builds and maintains the low-code applications and integrations that extend ProCaps Laboratories' core systems. This role designs, builds, and supports applications on the Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse), creating a custom layer on top of Business Central with minimal technical debt. A key responsibility is owning the end-to-end delivery of these applications, from the data model through the user interface and automation, and deploying them reliably through CI/CD pipelines and source control. This position works cross-functionally with Business Intelligence, Finance, Quality, and Operations to deliver applications, integrations, and improvements that help teams get what they need quickly. As ProCaps adopts Tulip as its manufacturing execution system, the role also supports closely related low-code work on that platform. This is a highly execution-oriented, hands-on technical role within a regulated (cGMP) environment.

Verify your CIP code supports this role
Platform Developer positions typically align with CIP codes under Computer Science (11.07) or Computer Engineering (14.09). Confirm your degree's CIP code with your DSO before applying, a mismatch between your credential and the role can trigger an I-983 rejection.
Check E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
An employer can intend to hire you and still be ineligible if they aren't enrolled in E-Verify. Search the E-Verify employer search tool by company name before your first interview so you don't waste time on companies that can't legally onboard STEM OPT students.
Search for platform roles on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters Platform Developer listings by E-Verify enrollment status, so every job you see is already eligible to hire STEM OPT students. Use it to target companies with active STEM OPT hiring history instead of sorting through unverified postings manually.
Build your I-983 training plan around platform deliverables
Your I-983 must connect your daily work to your STEM degree's learning objectives. For platform roles, map API architecture decisions, CI/CD pipeline ownership, or infrastructure-as-code responsibilities directly to coursework, vague descriptions like 'software development' increase the risk of DSO rejection.
Target employers with dedicated STEM OPT onboarding processes
Companies that have hired STEM OPT students before already have HR workflows for E-Verify completion, I-983 co-signing, and the 10-day reporting window. Ask recruiters directly whether they've previously onboarded STEM OPT engineers, experienced employers reduce your administrative risk significantly.
Use OFLC Wage Search to benchmark platform developer pay
USCIS requires that your STEM OPT training plan reflect bona fide employment, and below-market compensation can raise compliance questions. Pull the prevailing wage for your SOC code and metro area from OFLC Wage Search before negotiating your offer so your salary sits within the documented range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Platform Developer role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, if your degree falls under an eligible STEM CIP code such as Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Information Systems, and your Platform Developer duties directly apply that field of study. Your DSO verifies the degree-to-role connection when approving your I-983. Roles focused on cloud infrastructure, API design, or developer tooling generally satisfy this requirement, but your DSO makes the final determination based on your specific degree and job description.
What E-Verify requirement applies to my Platform Developer employer?
Every employer who hires a STEM OPT student must be actively enrolled in E-Verify, not just registered. Enrollment must be in place before your employment start date. You can confirm status through the E-Verify employer search tool. If your employer hasn't enrolled, they cannot legally employ you on STEM OPT, regardless of how willing they are to support the extension.
What goes into the I-983 training plan for a Platform Developer position?
Your I-983 must describe specific learning objectives tied to your STEM degree, the practical skills you'll develop in the role, and how your supervisor will evaluate your progress. For Platform Developer roles, this typically includes infrastructure design, system integration, or software architecture work. Generic descriptions won't satisfy USCIS requirements, your DSO and employer must both co-sign a plan that clearly connects your daily responsibilities to your academic training.
How does cap-gap protection work if my employer files an H-1B for me during STEM OPT?
If your employer files a timely H-1B visa petition on your behalf and you're selected in the lottery, cap-gap automatically extends your STEM OPT work authorization through September 30 of the fiscal year the H-1B takes effect. You don't need to file separately for cap-gap, it applies automatically. Your employer can continue employing you in your Platform Developer role throughout this period as long as the petition remains pending or approved.
Where can I find Platform Developer jobs open to STEM OPT students?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for F-1 STEM OPT students and filters Platform Developer listings by E-Verify enrollment, so you can browse roles at companies already equipped to hire you. This saves you from applying to employers who lack the compliance infrastructure for STEM OPT onboarding, which is a common and avoidable delay for students in this status.
