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 Fullstack Software Engineer
Verify your CIP code matches fullstack engineering
Pull your transcript and confirm your degree's CIP code maps to a STEM-designated field before applying. Degrees in computer science, software engineering, or information systems qualify. A mismatch at the I-983 stage delays your extension.
Filter job postings by E-Verify enrollment status
Before applying, confirm the employer is actively enrolled in E-Verify, not just registered. STEM OPT requires current enrollment. Ask the recruiter directly or check the E-Verify employer search during your screening call.
Build a fullstack portfolio that documents STEM training goals
Your I-983 training plan must tie your day-to-day engineering work to specific learning objectives. Prepare project write-ups showing how frontend and backend contributions connect to your STEM degree's theoretical foundations before an offer is extended.
Target companies with active H-1B filing history
Use Migrate Mate to surface employers who have filed H-1B visa LCAs for fullstack engineering roles. Companies with consistent filing history are structurally prepared to support STEM OPT and transition you to long-term sponsorship.
Benchmark your offer against DOL prevailing wages
Run your job title and work location through the OFLC Wage Search before accepting an offer. STEM OPT doesn't require prevailing wage compliance, but underpaid roles signal employers who won't sponsor your H-1B when your OPT expires.
Negotiate your I-983 sign-off into the offer timeline
Your DSO needs a completed, employer-signed I-983 before approving the STEM OPT extension. Raise the training plan requirement during the offer stage, not after you start. Many engineering hiring managers have never seen the form.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my degree qualify me for STEM OPT as a Senior Fullstack Software Engineer?
Your degree qualifies if it maps to a STEM-designated CIP code, typically computer science, software engineering, computer information systems, or electrical engineering. The role itself doesn't determine eligibility; your degree field does. Check your school's SEVIS record to confirm the CIP code before submitting your STEM OPT extension application through your DSO.
What E-Verify requirements apply to my employer for STEM OPT?
Your employer must be actively enrolled in E-Verify at the time you begin STEM OPT employment, not just registered in the past. A lapsed or inactive enrollment disqualifies the position. Confirm enrollment status directly with the hiring manager or HR before accepting an offer, since USCIS can terminate your STEM OPT authorization if the employer falls out of compliance.
What goes into the I-983 training plan for a fullstack engineering role?
The I-983 must connect your specific engineering duties to your STEM degree's learning objectives. For a fullstack role, that means documenting how your work with backend APIs, frontend frameworks, database design, or system architecture builds on your formal education. Your employer signs the form, and your DSO approves it before your extension begins. Generic job descriptions get rejected.
How does cap-gap protection work if my H-1B is filed before my STEM OPT expires?
If your employer files an H-1B petition on your behalf before your STEM OPT end date, cap-gap automatically extends your work authorization through September 30 of that fiscal year. You can continue working in your fullstack engineering role without interruption. USCIS formally authorizes the extension, but no separate filing is required on your end.
Where can I find Senior Fullstack Software Engineer jobs with employers prepared for STEM OPT?
Migrate Mate filters engineering roles by employers with verified E-Verify enrollment and active LCA filing history, so you're only seeing companies that are structurally positioned to hire on STEM OPT and sponsor H-1B status afterward. Searching on platforms without that filter means manually vetting every employer, which costs time you don't have on a running OPT clock.
