Job Description:
Integral Ad Science (IAS) is a global technology and data company that builds verification, optimization, and analytics solutions for the advertising industry and we’re looking for a Senior Engineer to join our DevOps Platform team. Do you have the desire and ability to touch everything across the tech stack that has the power to handle hundreds of thousands of transactions per second and collect tens of billions of events each day? Our systems also evaluate thousands of data-points in real-time, process years of videos every hour, and respond in just a few milliseconds. Then IAS is the place for you!
As a Senior Engineer, DevOps Platform, you will be part of our CI/CD Engineering Team—a specialized group that has extreme ownership of how software gets versioned and deployed.

- Work with and debug our current stack: GitHub, Jenkins, GitOps, k8s, Flux CD, Databricks and help design our future stack (i.e. Argo CD) with self-service
- Cut deep into systems in order to drive directly to a resolution and develop the source code in order to make it possible
- Face a variety of challenges that will allow you to constantly expand your repertoire by always learning new complex systems and skills
- Use your expert knowledge of SDLC, integrating systems through code in order to improve tooling and processes
You should apply if you have most of this experience:
- Bias toward action, backed by the ability to architect and implement solutions from initial commit to 1.0 release
- Strong coding background with either Java (or Groovy), or Python (2+ years)
- Expert knowledge of DevOps and CI/CD principles, best practices, Git, and dev tools across multiple languages (Gradle, Maven, NPM, Python build tools, etc.)
- Experience developing and maintaining Jenkins shared libraries and Jenkinsfiles
- Expertise in containerization (Kubernetes, Docker, distroless)
- Hands-on experience with k8s tools: Flux CD, Argo CD, Istio, Karpenter, Grafana stack, Flagger, External Secrets Operator, Helm, Kustomize, Kyverno
- Hands-on experience with AWS (CloudFormation, CDK) and cloud-native deployments, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), and orchestration tools (Atlantis, Terraform, Terragrunt)
- 5+ years of overall experience in software engineering, DevOps, or platform engineering
- Strong experience in Linux administration and configuration (2+ years)
- Self-motivated and able to work independently as part of a remote-first team
What puts you over the top:
- Experience with Jenkins runtime JVM debugging, Jenkins plugins development
- Experience with Application profiling, debugging applications across local and remote environments
- Experience with MLOps tooling and Data Science workflows, Databricks

Which companies sponsor visas for senior DevOps engineers in Illinois?
Large employers with documented H-1B sponsorship activity in Illinois include Accenture, Deloitte, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Morningstar, and United Airlines. Healthcare organizations such as Advocate Aurora Health and Northwestern Medicine also sponsor senior engineering roles. Sponsorship patterns are publicly visible through Department of Labor LCA disclosure data, which shows employer filings by job title and work location.
Which visa types are most common for senior DevOps engineer roles in Illinois?
The H-1B is the most common visa category for senior DevOps engineers in Illinois, as the role qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field. L-1B visas apply when transferring within a multinational employer. Candidates already authorized through OPT, STEM OPT, or a pending I-140 are also actively hired by Illinois employers.
Which cities in Illinois have the most senior DevOps engineer sponsorship jobs?
Chicago accounts for the overwhelming majority of senior DevOps engineer sponsorship jobs in Illinois, particularly in the Loop, River North, and West Loop neighborhoods where fintech, consulting, and SaaS companies are concentrated. Naperville and Schaumburg host a secondary cluster, driven by corporate headquarters and managed services firms. Peoria and Champaign-Urbana see limited but consistent activity tied to manufacturing technology and university spinoffs.
How to find senior devops engineer visa sponsorship jobs in Illinois?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, so you can search senior DevOps engineer roles in Illinois without having to screen out employers who don't sponsor. The platform is built for international candidates, which means listings are already vetted for sponsorship intent. Filtering by Illinois surfaces Chicago-area roles alongside opportunities in Naperville and Schaumburg that don't always appear on general job searches.
Are there any Illinois-specific considerations for senior DevOps engineers pursuing visa sponsorship?
Illinois employers filing H-1B petitions must pay the prevailing wage for the specific work location, which is determined by Department of Labor wage levels tied to the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin metropolitan area. Senior-level roles typically map to DOL wage Level III or IV, meaning the offered salary must meet a higher threshold than entry-level positions. Illinois also has a large consulting sector where project-based placements are common, which can affect LCA work location requirements.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored senior devops engineer jobs in Illinois?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
