ABOUT THE ROLE
At Commure, our Air AI team is building the intelligence layer that lives inside the clinical workflow, that listens, documents, reasons, and acts so clinicians don't have to. You'll work across documentation that transcribes patient visits and structures them into clinical notes in real-time, a conversational clinical assistant grounded in live patient context and medical literature, and an extensible AI Skills Library of reusable agents and workflows that automates clinical tasks across the platform. If you want to build AI that clinicians trust with their most critical work, this is that team.
- Leverage and build on top of AI/LLM technologies to accelerate product development and deliver intelligent, automated experiences to clinicians and patients
- Design and influence decisions that shape our fullstack architecture for scalable, AI-powered healthcare solutions
- Lead or contribute to technical planning for new features, balancing feasibility, clinical usability, and business impact
- Establish best practices for code quality, testing, deployment, and observability
- Mentor engineers across the team, raising the bar on design patterns, code standards, and technical thinking
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and clinical experts to ship intuitive solutions that work in real clinical environments
- Be part of a fast-moving team that celebrates large ambition, ships daily, and makes decisions quickly
WHAT YOU HAVE
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, required
- 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in a high-growth or startup environment
- Strong fullstack skills — Python on the backend (required), TypeScript/React on the frontend, with working knowledge of containers and cloud (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs or building AI-powered features in production
- Track record of driving work from early ideation to successful production deployment
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills with a history of demonstrated resourcefulness
- Strong communication skills — comfortable working with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders including clinical teams
- Experience in fast-moving environments where shipping quickly is the norm
Commure is committed to creating and fostering a diverse team. We are open to all backgrounds and levels of experience, and believe that great people can always find a place. We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations to all applicants throughout the application process.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as a Senior Software Development Engineer
Verify your CIP code before applying
Check that your degree's Classification of Instructional Programs code appears on the STEM OPT eligible fields list. Software engineering, computer science, and information systems degrees typically qualify, but interdisciplinary degrees need a DSO confirmation before you file.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
Before signing an offer letter, check the employer's E-Verify enrollment status directly through the E-Verify employer search. Companies not enrolled cannot legally employ you on a STEM OPT extension, regardless of role seniority or team size.
Build your I-983 training plan around engineering deliverables
Your I-983 must list specific learning objectives tied to the Senior Software Development Engineer role, not generic job duties. Frame it around technical competencies your degree prepared you for, such as system design, distributed architecture, or performance engineering.
Target employers with active H-1B filing histories
Use Migrate Mate to filter Senior Software Development Engineer roles by employers with verified DOL Labor Condition Application data, so you're applying to companies that already understand and support long-term work authorization beyond your OPT period.
Benchmark your offer against prevailing wage tiers
Run your expected title and location through the OFLC Wage Search to confirm your offer meets at least the Level II prevailing wage for software development engineers. Underpaid offers can complicate your employer's future H-1B visa or PERM filings on your behalf.
File your STEM OPT extension 90 days before OPT expires
USCIS allows you to apply up to 90 days before your initial OPT end date. Filing early protects your work authorization if processing delays occur and keeps your employment continuous without a gap that affects your senior-level project commitments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Software Development Engineer role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, if your underlying degree is in an eligible STEM field such as computer science, software engineering, electrical engineering, or a related discipline with an approved CIP code. The role itself must also provide practical training directly related to your degree field. Your DSO verifies CIP code eligibility on your updated I-20 before you file the extension with USCIS.
What does the I-983 training plan need to include for this role?
Your I-983 must identify specific learning objectives aligned with your STEM degree and the Senior Software Development Engineer position. For this role, that typically means documenting goals around system architecture, software design principles, or engineering methodologies. Both you and your employer's authorized representative sign it, and USCIS or ICE can request it during compliance reviews. Generic job descriptions are not sufficient.
How do I confirm my employer is enrolled in E-Verify?
You can search the employer's E-Verify enrollment status through the official E-Verify employer search tool maintained by the Department of Homeland Security. Enrollment must be active at the time your STEM OPT extension begins, not just at the point of hiring. If an employer is not enrolled, they cannot legally authorize your STEM OPT extension, even if the role fully qualifies.
What happens to my work authorization if my employer files an H-1B petition before my STEM OPT expires?
If your employer files a cap-subject H-1B petition before your STEM OPT end date and it's selected in the lottery, cap-gap protection extends your OPT authorization automatically through September 30 of that fiscal year, or until USCIS adjudicates the petition. You can continue working in your Senior Software Development Engineer role during this period without interruption, as long as your I-20 reflects the cap-gap extension.
Where can I find Senior Software Development Engineer jobs where employers are prepared to support STEM OPT?
Migrate Mate lists Senior Software Development Engineer roles filtered for employers with documented visa sponsorship histories, so you're not spending time on companies that have never navigated OPT or work authorization paperwork. Searching by role and authorization type helps you reach hiring managers who already understand the E-Verify requirement and the I-983 process.
