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 Senior Full Stack Engineer
Verify your CIP code before applying
Your STEM OPT extension depends on your degree's Classification of Instructional Programs code, not just the degree title. Check your I-20 and confirm your program appears on SEVP's STEM Designated Degree Program list before targeting any roles.
Filter roles by E-Verify status upfront
Employers must be enrolled in E-Verify to hire STEM OPT students. Ask recruiters to confirm enrollment before investing time in interviews. You can also cross-check employer status through the E-Verify employer search tool directly.
Align your I-983 training plan to engineering milestones
Senior Full Stack Engineer roles require a detailed I-983 that maps your learning goals to specific technical deliverables, not vague job duties. Draft it around measurable outcomes like shipping production features, leading code reviews, or owning system architecture decisions.
Use the OFLC Wage Search to benchmark offers
Before accepting an offer, look up the prevailing wage for Full Stack Engineer roles in your metro area using the OFLC Wage Search. Your compensation must meet the STEM OPT training plan standard, and underpayment relative to peers can flag compliance issues at renewal.
Target employers with prior STEM OPT training history
Use Migrate Mate to find Senior Full Stack Engineer roles at companies that have previously sponsored STEM OPT students. Employers already familiar with I-983 obligations and E-Verify workflows close offers faster and make fewer compliance errors during onboarding.
Time your application to protect cap-gap coverage
If you're transitioning from STEM OPT to H-1B visa, your work authorization continues under cap-gap rules only if your H-1B petition is filed before your OPT EAD expires. Confirm your employer can meet USCIS filing deadlines before accepting an offer contingent on H-1B visa sponsorship.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Full Stack Engineer role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, if your degree is in a STEM-designated field such as computer science, information systems, or software engineering, and the role involves applying that technical knowledge directly. The position must appear on your I-983 training plan as directly related to your degree's CIP code. Your DSO confirms eligibility based on the SEVP STEM Designated Degree Program list, not the job title alone.
What E-Verify obligations does my employer have for STEM OPT?
Your employer must be actively enrolled in E-Verify before you begin working on a STEM OPT extension. Enrollment isn't retroactive, so if an employer signs up after your start date, your extension is invalid for that period. Confirm enrollment status before accepting an offer by asking HR directly or checking through E-Verify's employer search. USCIS treats this requirement as non-negotiable.
What goes into an I-983 training plan for a Senior Full Stack Engineer?
Your I-983 must describe specific learning objectives tied to your STEM degree, not just your job duties. For a Senior Full Stack Engineer, that means documenting goals like designing scalable APIs, leading architecture reviews, or mastering a specific technology stack. Goals must be measurable, and your employer's authorized representative signs the plan. Your DSO submits it to SEVP before your extension start date.
How does cap-gap work if my employer files an H-1B petition during my STEM OPT?
If your employer files a timely H-1B petition before your STEM OPT EAD expires, cap-gap rules automatically extend your work authorization through September 30 of that fiscal year, or until USCIS adjudicates the petition, whichever comes first. Your status and employment authorization both continue without interruption. USCIS provides cap-gap guidance, and your DSO can issue a new I-20 reflecting the extension.
Where can I find Senior Full Stack Engineer jobs that accept STEM OPT students?
Migrate Mate lets you search Senior Full Stack Engineer roles filtered for employers with documented STEM OPT and E-Verify experience. Searching broadly without filtering for STEM OPT-aware employers wastes time, since many companies aren't set up to manage I-983 obligations. Targeting employers already familiar with the training plan process reduces the risk of a delayed start or compliance gap.
