Get Access To All JobsAt Commure, we're building the AI Operating System for healthcare, the foundation that defines how care is delivered, documented, and financed. Our platform spans the full care journey: Ambient AI and Dictation eliminating documentation burden at the point of care, intelligent Agents automating patient and revenue workflows, and autonomous RCM processing billions in claims, all on a single AI-native platform integrated with 60+ EHRs.
Healthcare carries a $1 trillion administrative burden and we're at the center of transforming it. Today, 500,000+ clinicians across 500+ healthcare organizations nationwide trust Commure to handle $25B+ in annual claims and support over 200 million patient interactions. Our latest $70M raise at a $7B valuation reflects the confidence the market has placed in this mission.
Our team works directly alongside clinicians, not through layers of process, which means the gap between what you build and its impact on patient care is immediate. We move fast, deploy daily, and take full ownership from early thinking to production. If you're energized by hard problems, high stakes, and a team that holds itself to a high bar, you'll find your people here.
The future of healthcare is being built right now. Come deliver this transformation.

- Work closely with junior engineers to provide technical guidance and mentorship, helping them solve problems and ensuring high-quality code standards are followed.
- Drive the implementation of best practices for integration development, including testing, error handling, version control, and continuous integration.
- Collaborate with DevOps and QA teams to implement monitoring and alerting systems that ensure integration reliability and system health in production.
- Stay up-to-date with industry trends in healthcare technology, integration patterns, and emerging tools, continuously suggesting and applying innovations that can improve system performance and integration capabilities.
- Participate in agile development cycles, contributing to sprint planning, retrospectives, and maintaining a collaborative and efficient working environment.

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.
