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
- Features end to end, from idea to production: the interface, the API and the database behind it.
- The AI features recruiters use every day, like natural language candidate search, built on Claude and OpenAI.
- The flows that turn a visitor into a paying recruiter: onboarding, billing on Stripe, and growth.
What we are looking for
We don't care about years of experience, education or pedigree. We just want you to be cracked at shipping product end to end.
Must haves
- You love building and owning features end to end, with full autonomy and responsibility.
- You ship production code at lightning speed.
- You are a highly motivated self-starter and a jack of all trades.
- You are happy talking directly with customers
- 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
- TypeScript and Next.js, hosted on Vercel.
- Supabase (Postgres and auth) and Stripe for payments.
- Mixpanel for product analytics.
- You have shipped LLM features in production.
- You have worked at a job board, recruiting AI or data provider 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.

Lead with your stack, not just your title
Hiring managers scanning for sponsorship candidates respond to specifics. List your primary languages and frameworks, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, in your resume summary. Vague titles without technical detail get filtered out before sponsorship conversations begin.
Target companies with H-1B filing history
Not every employer will sponsor, but many full stack roles sit at companies with active petition histories. Focusing your search on organizations that have filed before cuts rejection risk significantly. Migrate Mate surfaces these roles so you're not applying blind.
Align your degree to your specialty occupation claim
USCIS approves full stack petitions when the role requires a degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. If your degree is in a different discipline, document how your coursework and experience directly relate to the specific technical requirements.
Request premium processing when timing is tight
H-1B premium processing guarantees a decision within 15 business days. If you're transitioning off OPT or navigating a gap between employers, asking your new employer to elect premium processing removes weeks of uncertainty from an already stressful timeline.
Quantify scope and ownership in your resume
Sponsorship approvals hinge partly on demonstrating that the role requires a specialist. Phrases like 'owned end-to-end architecture for a platform serving 2 million users' signal complexity better than 'built and maintained web applications,' which reads as entry-level to both employers and USCIS.
Understand cap-exempt employer options
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government-affiliated organizations are exempt from the H-1B annual cap and lottery. Full stack roles exist across these sectors. If you missed the lottery, cap-exempt employers can file your petition at any point in the year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a full stack developer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, full stack application development consistently qualifies as a specialty occupation when the position requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, information technology, or a related field. USCIS approval rates for software development roles are among the highest in the H-1B visa program. The key is that the job description ties specific technical requirements to a degree in a particular discipline, not just any bachelor's degree.
Can I get H-1B sponsorship for a full stack role if my degree is not in computer science?
Yes, but you'll need to establish a direct relationship between your degree field and the role's technical requirements. Degrees in mathematics, electrical engineering, or information systems are generally accepted. For less obvious matches, employers often commission a credentials evaluation or provide a detailed explanation of how the degree's core coursework maps to the specific technologies in the role.
How long does H-1B processing take for full stack developer positions?
Standard H-1B processing currently runs three to five months after the October 1 start date. Employers who elect premium processing receive a decision within 15 business days of USCIS accepting the petition. For full stack roles, Requests for Evidence are relatively uncommon compared to more ambiguous specialties, which makes timelines more predictable. Administrative processing at the consular stage adds two to eight weeks for applicants outside the U.S.
What visa options exist for full stack developers who didn't get selected in the H-1B lottery?
Several alternatives exist. Australians can apply for the E-3 visa, which has no lottery. Canadians and Mexicans qualify for the TN visa under the software engineer category. The L-1 visa works if you're transferring from a foreign office of a U.S. company. The O-1A is available for engineers with a strong track record of recognition or impact. Cap-exempt employers, universities and nonprofits, can also file H-1B petitions outside the lottery entirely.
Where can I find full stack application development jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate focuses specifically on visa sponsorship jobs for international candidates and filters roles by sponsorship willingness, so you're not spending time on listings that won't support your visa situation. Full stack roles appear frequently across sectors including fintech, enterprise software, healthcare technology, and early-stage startups, many of which have established H-1B filing histories.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Full Stack Application Development jobs?
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.
