About Superblocks
Superblocks is an AI app generation platform that powers mission-critical internal operations at global enterprises such as Instacart, Credit Karma and Carrier, bringing business, IT and engineering teams together to build production-grade internal apps with AI, with central governance, access controls, version control, audit logs and observability.
Founded in 2021, Superblocks has raised $60M from Kleiner Perkins, Spark Capital, Greenoaks and Meritech Capital, along with founders of Datadog, Workday, Box and Okta.
The Role
Superblocks is hiring a Software Engineer (2+ years) to join a small, elite team building a frontier AI coding agent that lets non-engineers create production-grade enterprise software. You will work directly with the CTO (a former founding engineer at Confluent) on making AI agents accurate, safe and production-ready at scale, as roughly 5% of the engineering team with major ownership.
What You Will Do
- Build an AI continuous-learning system with short-term memory, persistent memory and organizational knowledge graphs, so the agent becomes an expert on each customer's data.
- Build AI coding agents that generate, run, debug and test code, handling failures and feedback loops.
- Design new human-AI interactions and feedback loops for enterprise users.
- Build centralized governance for apps, workflows, agents, secrets and policies.
- Solve problems at the intersection of agentic AI, security and distributed systems at global scale.
What You Bring
- 2+ years of software engineering experience
- Strong backend and distributed systems skills in Python
- Experience with LLMs and agentic AI frameworks
- Ability to work in the New York office 5 days a week
- Work authorization without new sponsorship (H-1B transfers and TN supported)
Tech Stack Python, LLMs, agentic AI frameworks, distributed systems, sandboxing/isolation, knowledge graphs, database design, Kubernetes
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 Transparent Search Group 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
- 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 $200,000–$240,000 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.
