About Rotto
Rotto is an AI search engine for recruiting. A recruiter describes the hire in plain English, and a hybrid semantic and lexical retrieval engine parses the intent, embeds it, and ranks millions of candidate profiles in real time.
It is built by the same team behind Migrate Mate, the job board for international talent in the US, which earned our founders Forbes 30 Under 30. We are a team of seven. We've raised $3M and are now hiring to scale Rotto and launch new products.
We move very fast with basically zero bureaucracy. You will work directly with the founders (& engineering team) every day. We work five days a week, 10 to 11 hours a day, in person, and occasionally on Saturdays. This is an ASAP hire: we would like you to start within weeks of an offer.
What you will work on
- Scrapers that pull jobs from thousands of company career pages and job boards, every day.
- The Postgres search that ranks millions of candidate profiles from a plain-English prompt.
- The cloud infrastructure both run on, and the cost and latency of every request.
What we are looking for
We don't care about years of experience, education or pedigree. We just want you to be cracked at owning & scaling backend systems.
Must haves
- You have built and run web scrapers in production (ideally against job boards).
- You have scaled cloud infrastructure in production.
- You obsess over detail and are great at making tradeoffs, e.g. cutting latency without raising the cost of a search.
- You are AI native but not AI reliant: you use AI to move fast, and understand what it writes well enough to change it without AI.
Nice to haves
- Strong Python.
- Headless browsers (Playwright, Selenium or similar), proxies and anti-bot work.
- Tuning Postgres or vector search: indexes, query plans, pgvector.
- You have worked at a web scraping, data provider or job board company.
- You have worked at (or founded) an early-stage startup.
Is this you?
You'll thrive if
- You learn unusually fast and can be useful on an unknown topic within a day.
- Not knowing doesn't scare you, it excites you to learn.
- You are happy with little structure and manage yourself.
- You have a can-do attitude. You solve hard challenges without complaining.
- You communicate clearly and can explain the same idea to a customer and to a senior engineer.
- You push back on bad ideas, without questioning every decision.
Don't apply if
- You want a clear spec, a roadmap and a process to follow.
- You want to work remotely or hybrid.
- You want a 40-hour week. "Nobody ever changed the world on 40 hours a week" - Elon Musk
- You need a big team around you before you can ship.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Data Analyst
Strengthen the specialty occupation argument for your role
H-1B petitions require that the role needs at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Make sure your job description emphasizes quantitative analysis, statistical methods, or programming - not just reporting - to meet USCIS requirements.
Choose a STEM-qualifying degree to maximize OPT
Statistics, mathematics, and computer science degrees qualify for STEM OPT, giving you up to 3 years of work authorization. A degree in general business or communications limits you to 12 months of standard OPT.
Target large companies with established sponsorship teams
Deloitte, Accenture, PwC, and major tech companies sponsor data analysts and have immigration teams that handle the process end to end. These employers are less likely to be deterred by the cost and complexity of H-1B filing.
Advance to senior or specialized analyst roles
Moving from a general data analyst position to a senior data analyst or specialized role like product analytics or revenue analytics strengthens your visa case. More technical, degree-specific responsibilities make the specialty occupation argument clearer.
Build technical skills beyond SQL and Excel
Python, R, Tableau, and Power BI are table stakes. Adding statistical modeling, A/B testing design, or causal inference analysis sets you apart and gives your employer a stronger case that the role requires specialized training.
Use OPT strategically to position for sponsorship
Your OPT period is your audition. Deliver measurable business impact - revenue attribution, cost savings, process improvements - so your manager has concrete reasons to advocate for your H-1B petition.
Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifications do I need to get sponsored as a data analyst?
Most sponsored data analyst roles require at least a bachelor's degree in statistics, computer science, mathematics, economics, or a related quantitative field. Strong proficiency in tools like SQL, Python, R, Tableau, or Power BI is typically expected. H-1B visa sponsorship requires the role to qualify as a specialty occupation, so having a degree directly related to data analysis strengthens your case.
Is data analyst considered a STEM occupation for visa purposes?
Yes, data analyst roles generally fall under STEM classifications, which has meaningful visa benefits. If you're on F-1 OPT, you're eligible for the 24-month STEM OPT extension (giving you up to 3 years of work authorization), which provides additional time to find an employer willing to sponsor H-1B.
Do I need a master's degree to get a data analyst job with visa sponsorship?
A bachelor's degree is sufficient for most data analyst positions. However, a U.S. master's degree gives you an advantage in the H-1B lottery with a second chance at selection through the advanced degree exemption (20,000 additional slots). Senior or specialized analyst roles may prefer a master's, but it's not a baseline requirement for sponsorship.
Which industries sponsor the most data analyst positions?
Tech companies, financial services, consulting firms, and healthcare organizations are the most active sponsors for data analyst roles. Large employers with established immigration programs (major banks, Big 4 consulting firms, FAANG-adjacent tech companies) tend to have the most streamlined sponsorship processes for analytical positions.
Can I transition from data analyst to data scientist on a sponsored visa?
If the new role has significantly different duties or requirements, your employer may need to file an amended H-1B petition. A promotion within the same general occupational classification is usually manageable, but a substantial shift in responsibilities - like moving from reporting-focused analysis to machine learning engineering - could require a new petition. Discuss with your employer's immigration team before making any transition.
How to find Data Analyst jobs with visa sponsorship?
To find Data Analyst jobs with visa sponsorship, use Migrate Mate, which specializes in connecting international talent with sponsoring employers. Focus on tech companies, financial services, healthcare organizations, and consulting firms that commonly hire Data Analysts on H-1B, O-1 visa, or other work visas. These industries frequently need analytical expertise and have established visa sponsorship programs for qualified candidates.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Data Analyst jobs?
When a U.S. employer sponsors a foreign worker for a work visa, they are legally required to pay at least the "prevailing wage", the average wage paid to workers in the same occupation, in the same geographic area, with similar experience. This is set by the Department of Labor to prevent employers from hiring foreign workers at below-market rates. The prevailing wage varies significantly by role, location, and experience level. For example, a data analyst in California will have a different prevailing wage than the same role in a smaller state. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search Page.
