Dyna Robotics builds general-purpose robots powered by a proprietary embodied AI foundation model with top-in-industry generalization and real-world performance. Already deployed with customers across multiple industries, our robots do commercial-grade work in the physical world. Our team comes from Google DeepMind, Meta, and Cruise, and we're backed by CRV, First Round, and other leading investors.
THE ROLE
Dyna's robots only create value when they're reliably connected. Robotics isn't like typical enterprise software: latency that an ordinary business app would shrug off turns teleoperation and remote supervision into jerky, unsafe, or outright failed robot behavior. A degraded link here isn't a background IT ticket: it can be the difference between a robot finishing a task and stalling mid-motion. This role owns the technical side of network performance in two settings: making sure a demo never drops mid-pitch, and making sure a deployed robot stays online, monitorable, and controllable on network infrastructure Dyna doesn't own or control. This is a build role, not a network-admin or support role: you'll design and build the systems (monitoring, automated failover, self-healing diagnostics) that make connectivity reliable by default, so stability is a property of the system rather than something a person has to catch and fix after it breaks.
- Own network performance for remote teleoperation. Measure and minimize end-to-end latency and jitter, tune how video and control streams are transported and prioritized, and make sure sessions degrade gracefully (lower bitrate, prioritized control traffic, safe fallback behavior) instead of failing when the link gets worse. A reliable, low-latency link is what keeps a human safely in the loop.
- Build the fleet connectivity stack. Monitoring, diagnostics, and automated failover software that keeps every robot's connection healthy in production, turning a dropped connection into an automatic root cause and recovery, not a 2am page to go run tcpdump on-site.
- Own the network side of site bring-up. Build tooling that assesses a customer's network before a robot ever arrives, then work with the deployment team to configure the right failover, QoS, and VPN setup for that site.
- Design connectivity for real-world chaos: warehouse WiFi dead zones, cellular failover, and VPN-gated corporate networks with firewall rules you can't change.
- Diagnose field issues on networks you don't control, then build the fix so the same failure never happens twice.
- Make the office and demo network rock-solid by default, so a live demo never drops in front of a customer or investor.
- Partner with engineers and researchers to keep the network ahead of what they need for training-data upload and live model debugging.
- Be the person in the room when connectivity is on the line, whether that's a live demo or a field incident.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- Hands-on experience debugging real-world networks: WiFi/RF troubleshooting and packet-level diagnostics (Wireshark, tcpdump, iperf)
- Deep understanding of TCP, UDP, and how they behave on lossy, high-jitter links, plus strong Linux networking skills (routing, traffic shaping with tc, firewalling, VPNs such as WireGuard)
- A track record of shipping production-quality software in C++, Rust, or Python, not just scripts and prototypes
- Comfort working in the field and communicating clearly under pressure: you'll be translating failures into fixes mid-demo and mid-deployment
- Degree in CS, EE, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
STRONGLY PREFERRED
- Experience with real-time media or low-latency transport: WebRTC, RTP, adaptive bitrate, congestion control, jitter buffers, or UDP-based protocols like QUIC or SRT
- Experience managing connectivity for a fleet of edge devices (robots, vehicles, IoT) deployed on networks you don't own
- Hands-on work with cellular/LTE/5G failover hardware, link bonding, or multipath networking
BONUS POINTS FOR
- Experience with pub/sub or messaging middleware (ZeroMQ, ROS 2, DDS, or similar), especially running it over WiFi or WAN links
- Experience with network hardware: managed switches, access points, mesh networking, cellular routers
- Experience supporting live events, demos, or on-site customer deployments where network reliability was your responsibility
At Dyna Robotics, we build technology for the real world, which requires a team as diverse as the environments our robots inhabit. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to technical rigor and mutual respect.
Don’t let a checklist stop you. Data shows that underrepresented groups often only apply if they meet 100% of the criteria. We value problem-solving and grit over keyword matching. If you’re passionate about robotics, no matter your discipline, we want to hear from you, even if you don't check every box.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Software Developer
Target employers with a proven H-1B filing history
Companies that have filed H-1B petitions before understand the process and are less likely to back out mid-offer. DOL disclosure data shows tech firms, consulting houses, and large enterprises file the most software developer petitions annually.
Confirm the role requires a specific technical degree
USCIS approves H-1B petitions for software roles when the job description requires a degree in computer science, software engineering, or a directly related field. Generic postings that accept any bachelor's degree create specialty occupation risk.
Ask about sponsorship early, but frame it professionally
Raise visa sponsorship after you've established technical fit, not in your opening message. Asking after a strong first interview signals you're serious about the role, not just fishing for any employer willing to file paperwork.
Australians should highlight E-3 eligibility explicitly
The E-3 visa skips the H-1B lottery entirely and can be approved within weeks. Many U.S. hiring managers don't know it exists. Mentioning it proactively removes the lottery uncertainty that causes some employers to hesitate on sponsorship.
Document your technical specialization clearly on your resume
USCIS scrutinizes whether the role genuinely requires specialized knowledge. A resume that specifies your stack, architecture experience, and domain expertise makes the employer's petition easier to approve than a generic developer profile.

Migrate Mate filters Senior Software Developer roles by employers actively willing to sponsor. Applying through a curated list of known sponsors saves weeks of outreach to companies that quietly exclude visa applicants from consideration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Software Developer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS consistently treats software development as a specialty occupation when the job description requires a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or information technology. The risk arises when a job posting accepts any degree field or lists a degree as preferred rather than required, which can undermine the specialty occupation argument. Employers should write job descriptions carefully to avoid this.
What visa types do employers use to sponsor Senior Software Developers?
The H-1B visa is the most common pathway, subject to an annual cap and lottery. Australian citizens can apply for the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and can be approved in a matter of weeks. Canadians and Mexicans may qualify under the TN visa. Senior developers with exceptional recognition in their field can pursue the O-1A. L-1B is available for intracompany transfers with specialized knowledge.
Does my degree field need to match software development exactly?
Not exactly, but it needs to be closely related. USCIS accepts computer science, software engineering, electrical engineering, mathematics, and information systems. Degrees in unrelated fields can still work if you have a significant volume of relevant coursework or a combination of education and work experience. The 3-for-1 rule allows three years of qualifying experience to substitute for one year of a four-year degree.
How strong are H-1B approval rates for software development roles?
Software-related occupations consistently see among the higher H-1B approval rates across all occupation categories. USCIS data shows denial rates for technology roles have generally stayed below 10% for well-documented petitions in recent years, though rates vary by employer type and petition quality. Large tech employers with established legal teams tend to have lower denial rates than smaller companies filing for the first time.
Where can I find Senior Software Developer jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this. It lists Senior Software Developer roles from employers who are open to sponsoring H-1B, E-3, and other work visas, so you're not wasting time applying to postings that quietly exclude international candidates. Filtering by sponsorship willingness upfront dramatically improves your response rate compared to cold applications through general job boards.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Senior Software Developer 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.
