Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as a Security Engineering Manager
Verify your CIP code before applying
Check that your degree's Classification of Instructional Programs code appears on the STEM Designated Degree Program list published by ICE. Cybersecurity, computer science, and systems engineering degrees typically qualify, but management information systems degrees sometimes don't.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
Ask recruiters directly whether the company is enrolled in E-Verify before you get to the offer stage. You can also search the E-Verify employer search tool to confirm enrollment independently, since STEM OPT authorization is invalid without it.
Frame your I-983 training plan around management competencies
Security Engineering Manager roles require an I-983 that maps technical oversight, team leadership, and security architecture decisions to your STEM degree. Generic training plans get rejected. Work with your DSO early to document how managerial responsibilities connect to your academic background.
Target companies with dedicated security engineering orgs
Use Migrate Mate to filter for employers with verified STEM OPT hiring history in security and engineering roles. Companies with standalone security teams are more likely to have the E-Verify enrollment and HR infrastructure to support your authorization correctly.
Check prevailing wage expectations before negotiating
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the prevailing wage for security engineering manager roles in your target metro area. Employers filing an LCA for your eventual H-1B sponsorship must meet this floor, so understanding it early prevents misaligned offer negotiations.

Find Security Engineering Manager JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does a Security Engineering Manager role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, if your degree carries an eligible CIP code, typically in computer science, cybersecurity, electrical engineering, or a related STEM field listed on the ICE STEM Designated Degree Program list. The job title alone doesn't determine eligibility. USCIS evaluates whether the role directly relates to your degree field, and a Security Engineering Manager position that involves technical security architecture and systems oversight generally satisfies that standard.
What does the I-983 training plan need to include for a management role?
The I-983 must show a clear connection between your STEM degree and the practical training you'll receive in the Security Engineering Manager role. That means documenting specific technical responsibilities like threat modeling, security tooling decisions, and engineering oversight, not just team management duties. Your DSO and employer both sign it, and USCIS can audit it at any time during your 24-month extension.
How do I confirm my employer is enrolled in E-Verify before I accept an offer?
You can use the official E-Verify employer search tool to look up any company by name or location. If the employer doesn't appear or their enrollment has lapsed, your STEM OPT authorization won't be valid even if your I-983 is approved. Bring this up with the recruiter early in the process, since mid-process discovery of a non-enrolled employer can cost you the role and part of your authorization window.
Can I work as a Security Engineering Manager while waiting for my H-1B to be approved?
Yes, if your employer files an H-1B petition before your OPT expires, cap-gap protection extends your work authorization through September 30 of that fiscal year. If your H-1B is selected and approved, your status transitions on October 1. You must remain employed by the same E-Verify-enrolled employer throughout the cap-gap period for the extension to remain valid.
Where can I find Security Engineering Manager jobs where employers already understand STEM OPT requirements?
Migrate Mate filters job listings to surface employers with verified E-Verify enrollment and a track record of hiring international students. That's especially useful for Security Engineering Manager roles, where the combination of technical seniority and work authorization complexity can catch unprepared HR teams off guard. Searching on Migrate Mate reduces the risk of reaching offer stage only to discover the employer can't support your status.
