- Develop production agent implementations and manage deployment and operation
- Design product-level features while implementing robust backend systems

- Make durable architecture decisions across workflow orchestration, infrastructure, and agent reliability
- Identify important problems independently and drive them through production
Requirements

- Three to five years of backend software engineering experience
- Production experience building AI agents or LLM-based systems used by real customers
- At least two years in an early-stage startup or another high-ambiguity, high-ownership environment
- Strong TypeScript skills and practical familiarity with agent frameworks
- Experience with Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, containers, and production scaling
- Experience deploying into BYOC, single-tenant, or on-premise environments
- Knowledge of durable execution or workflow orchestration
- A computer science or other technical degree
- High energy, ambition, autonomy, and concise communication
Nice to have
- Experience with Temporal, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Mastra, or the Vercel AI SDK
- Familiarity with both AWS and Google Cloud Platform
- Direct experience improving agent reliability in production
- Experience shipping enterprise software into Fortune 500 environments
Benefits
- $100,000 to $210,000, plus competitive equity in a company valued above $2B

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 Raydar 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 II (qualified)Software Developers · San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA. Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).
| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $137,093 | ~15% |
| Level II | $165,131 | ~31% |
| Level III | $193,149 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $221,187 | ~61% |
This job pays $180,000–$250,000 a year — that's Level II (qualified). In the wage-weighted H-1B lottery a Level II registration gets 2 entries; estimated selection chance about 31%.
* 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.
