Sched powers thousands of events worldwide professional development programs, academic conferences, industry gatherings, and community meetups.
When our platform works well, people connect, learn, and move forward. When it doesn’t, those experiences break down.
We are a profitable, established SaaS company with real users and real production systems. The features you build will be used immediately by organizers and attendees around the world.
We’re looking for a hands-on full stack engineer who can build across Vue 3 frontend systems and PHP backend services, own features end to end, and move comfortably between product needs, code, and production realities. The right person has strong experience with modern frontend development, production PHP, REST APIs, debugging, and improving legacy systems without setting the building on fire. They should be thoughtful, reliable, and collaborative, with the judgment to handle ambiguity, participate in on-call, and connect technical decisions to customer and business outcomes.
THE ROLE
This is a hands-on engineering role that spans Vue 3 frontend systems and PHP backend services. You will own features end-to-end, from understanding the customer problem through deployment and monitoring. You will work across frontend, backend, API, and infrastructure systems depending on what the team needs. You will also participate in an on-call rotation and respond to production incidents when they arise.
Frontend Development:
- Build and maintain frontend features using Vue 3, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS
- Write clean, semantic, accessible HTML and responsive CSS
- Improve rendering performance, browser compatibility, and load times
- Debug production UI issues, edge cases, and cross-device inconsistencies

- Work with MySQL-backed systems and production data with care for data integrity and security
- Maintain stability of core functionality while supporting modernization efforts
Infrastructure and Reliability:
- Participate in an on-call rotation to respond to production incidents
- Work with production server infrastructure, containerized services, and deployment tooling
- Contribute to monitoring, alerting, and observability across the platform
- Help maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and release processes
Quality, Process, and Team Impact:
- Participate in and conduct code reviews with constructive, specific feedback
- Write and improve automated tests to reduce regressions and build deployment confidence
- Document your work: technical decisions, system behavior, and operational runbooks
- Identify and implement improvements to team development workflows
- Participate in incident triage and post-incident review when production issues arise
Collaboration and Ownership:
- Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership to align on priorities and scope
- Communicate status, blockers, and technical tradeoffs clearly in writing and in conversation
- Make prioritization decisions within your work, connecting tasks to customer and business outcomes
- Help teammates grow through knowledge sharing, pair programming, and constructive review
- Push back when needed, propose alternatives with evidence, and commit to the path the team selects
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2 years building production applications in Vue.js or a comparable component framework
- Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript
- Strong debugging skills across frontend and backend, including browser behavior and rendering performance
- Experience building and consuming REST APIs backed by relational databases (MySQL or similar)
- Experience working with PHP in production, including codebases that run without a framework
- Demonstrated ability to work within, improve, and modernize existing systems without breaking them
- Experience writing automated tests at one or more levels (unit, integration, end-to-end)
- Comfort navigating ambiguity: scoping work from unclear inputs, making tradeoffs, and adjusting when requirements shift
- Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation and respond to production incidents
- Proficiency with Linux command line and SSH for production and development server operations
- Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical decisions to non-engineers
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with Laravel or other PHP frameworks in addition to frameworkless PHP
- Experience with infrastructure operations: Linux administration, Docker, Kubernetes, or similar container orchestration
- Familiarity with cloud storage services (S3 or similar) and server infrastructure
- Experience with monitoring, alerting, and observability tools (Sentry, Datadog, Grafana, or similar)
- Experience working on SaaS products
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
- Experience maintaining or refactoring legacy codebases
- Experience collaborating with UX/UI designers on accessibility and usability
- Track record of improving team processes, documentation, or developer tooling
- Experience with mobile development (iOS or Android)
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Within 30 days
- Navigating the frontend and backend codebase with decreasing support
- Shipping small fixes and improvements with tests
- Completing your first code reviews
Within 90 days
- Owning and shipping features end-to-end with minimal guidance
- Debugging production issues across the stack and writing root-cause post-mortems
- Contributing to documentation and identifying at least one process improvement
Within 6 months
- Contributing confidently across frontend and backend, including modernization work
- Improving the stability, test coverage, and maintainability of core systems
- Acting as a resource for teammates on patterns, debugging, and code quality across the stack
- Connecting your technical decisions to customer outcomes and business priorities
WHAT WE OFFER
- Anticipated OTE: $85,000 – $135,000 USD (base + discretionary bonus)
- 100% remote team (30 people, no corporate office)
- Health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- 20 days PTO
- Team offsites in places like Morocco, Japan, Brazil, and Colombia — part work, part vacation, fully covered by Sched (#schedcations)
Selected candidates will be asked to complete a Coderbyte technical assessment as part of the hiring process. We use it to better understand practical problem-solving in a consistent way across applicants.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Full Stack Web Engineer
Lead with your full stack depth, not breadth
Employers sponsor engineers who own both frontend and backend systems end-to-end. Highlight specific frameworks, databases, and cloud infrastructure you've built with, vague claims about 'experience across the stack' won't differentiate your application.
Target companies with an active H-1B filing history
Sponsorship willingness varies significantly by employer. Companies that have filed H-1B petitions for engineers in the past are far more likely to sponsor again. Use Migrate Mate to filter for verified sponsoring employers actively hiring full stack roles.
Make sure your degree field aligns with the role
Full stack engineer roles typically require a degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. A degree in an unrelated discipline can complicate the specialty occupation determination, even with strong work experience.
Document your system design and architecture contributions
USCIS scrutinizes whether a role genuinely requires a bachelor's degree. Evidence that you've designed scalable systems, led technical architecture decisions, or mentored junior engineers strengthens the case that the position is specialized.
Understand the H-1B lottery timing before you apply
H-1B cap-subject petitions are only accepted once per year, with registration opening in March for an October 1 start date. If you miss the lottery cycle, discuss cap-exempt employer options or alternative visa categories with your sponsoring employer.
Address employment gaps or freelance history proactively
Contract roles, startup gaps, or self-employment periods can raise questions during visa adjudication. Prepare documentation showing continuous, relevant engineering work, including project scope, client relationships, and technical responsibilities during those periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a full stack web engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS generally accepts software engineer and web engineer roles as specialty occupations because they typically require at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field. The key is that the employer's job description must reflect genuine degree requirements, not just a preference. Roles framed as 'any bachelor's degree acceptable' can face RFEs or denials.
What visa types are most commonly used to sponsor full stack web engineers?
The H-1B visa is the most common sponsorship path for full stack engineers, covering the vast majority of employer-sponsored cases. L-1B visas apply if you're transferring within a multinational company with specialized knowledge. O-1A is an option if you have demonstrated extraordinary ability through open source contributions, technical publications, or industry recognition. Australians may also qualify for the E-3 visa, which has no lottery.
My degree is in a field like information systems or mathematics, not computer science. Will that affect sponsorship?
It depends on how the employer defines the role. USCIS accepts degrees in closely related fields, and information systems or applied mathematics can qualify if the job description emphasizes the technical depth those disciplines cover. A credentials evaluation may help if your degree is from outside the U.S. The more your actual job duties map to your degree's core curriculum, the stronger the case.
How can I find full stack web engineer jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists full stack engineering roles specifically from employers with verified sponsorship histories. Filtering by visa type lets you focus on companies that have sponsored H-1B or other work visas for similar roles before, which is a strong signal they'll do it again rather than just claiming openness to sponsorship in a job posting.
Can I switch employers mid-H-1B if I'm already sponsored as a full stack engineer?
Yes. H-1B portability allows you to start with a new employer as soon as they file a new H-1B petition on your behalf, provided your current H-1B has been approved, you've been lawfully employed, and the new petition is filed while you're still in valid status. You don't need to wait for the new petition to be approved before starting the new role, though the new employer must file before your last day.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Full Stack Web Engineer 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.
