Salary: $180,000 - $230,000 / year + Competitive Equity
About the Role:
We are looking for a Backend / Full Stack Engineer with 2+ years of experience to join an engineering team building high-impact financial infrastructure that processes billions of dollars in nonprofit payments. You will own systems end-to-end—from architecture to shipping—working directly with founders and leadership.
What You'll Do:
- Build and own backend server applications and components powering the payment platform end-to-end.
- Drive architectural decisions across APIs, backend systems, and infrastructure.
- Collaborate directly with founders, product, and engineering teams.
- Improve real-time monitoring and alerting capabilities to optimize product performance.
Key Requirements:
- Experience: 2–10 years in backend engineering, preferably at a reputable VC-backed startup or top-tier tech company.
- Tech Stack: Production experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
- Infrastructure & Tools: Proficiency with Go, Node.js, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, gRPC, Terraform, or AWS.
- Education: Bachelor's degree in a technical field (Computer Science, Engineering, or related).
Nice-to-Have:
- Background in fintech, payments infrastructure, or high-growth tech environments.
Note: Open to visa transfers (e.g., OPT, H-1B transfers).
Visa sponsorship record
No public sponsorship records foundWe didn't find H-1B, H-1B1, E-3 or green card (PERM) filings under the name Job Spread in the Department of Labor and USCIS data. That doesn't mean the job can't be sponsored — the company may file under a different legal name, be new to sponsorship, or sponsor a visa that isn't in these datasets (for example H-2B or J-1).
Tip: ask the recruiter early, in writing, which visa they sponsor and whether they cover the legal and filing fees.
Which visas can work for this job
Occupation: Software Developers (SOC 15-1252).
- Mentioned in the listing
H-1B, OPT
- H-1B cap-exempt employer
Regular cap-subject employer — a new H-1B needs to win the lottery in March (unless you already hold cap-counted H-1B status).
- TN (citizens of Canada and Mexico)
This kind of role may fit the USMCA profession “Computer Systems Analyst (or Engineer, for engineering-degree holders)” — it depends on the actual duties. No lottery, no cap; you need the matching degree or license.
- E-3 (Australia) and H-1B1 (Chile, Singapore)
Same degree requirement as H-1B, but no lottery and a separate quota that is rarely filled.
- O-1 (extraordinary ability)
For candidates with awards, publications, press, a high salary or critical roles at distinguished organizations. No cap, no lottery; the employer files a petition.
- STEM OPT extension (F-1 students)
Requires an E-Verify employer. We didn't find this company in the E-Verify list — ask HR.
Salary vs prevailing wage
Level IV (fully competent)Software Developers · New York (state median of areas). Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).
| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $84,937 | ~15% |
| Level II | $107,244 | ~31% |
| Level III | $128,658 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $149,208 | ~61% |
This job pays $180,000–$230,000 a year — that's Level IV (fully competent). In the wage-weighted H-1B lottery a Level IV registration gets 4 entries; estimated selection chance about 61% — better than average.
* Odds are DHS projections for the FY2027 wage-weighted lottery (actual results vary by year and employer). Since the FY2027 cap season the H-1B lottery is weighted by wage level: Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4. The level is set by the offered wage against the prevailing wage for the occupation and worksite. Separately, a $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions for workers outside the US was announced in 2025; as of September 2026 a federal court ruling keeps it unenforceable while appeals continue — check the current status.
