Job description
Our client is a seed-stage technology company building an AI-native platform for global trade, customs compliance, and duty recovery. Its software brings fragmented documents, spreadsheets, APIs, and supply-chain data into one system so businesses can identify savings, recover refunds, and stay compliant as trade policy changes. The company has raised $5.4M, serves more than 80 customers, and has grown revenue more than fourfold in the past six months.
This is a full-stack Product Engineer role on a small, high-caliber team with three hires planned. You will own meaningful parts of the product from problem discovery through production, working directly with the founders and customers to turn messy global-trade workflows into reliable, intuitive software. You will build across TypeScript, Node.js, React, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL while shaping agentic AI capabilities for a compliance-heavy domain.
Requirements
- 2 to 5 years of full-stack product engineering experience.
- Strong production experience with TypeScript across a Node.js backend and React frontend.
- Solid PostgreSQL and data-modeling fundamentals.
- Experience shipping end-to-end features in a data-heavy or compliance-adjacent product such as fintech, logistics, or B2B SaaS.
- Experience with messy integrations, document pipelines, or data-wrangling workflows.
- Experience in a credible engineering culture, ideally at a company that reached Series B or later.
- Computer science degree or related technical degree.
- Strong product judgment, curiosity, and comfort operating with ambiguity and ownership.
- Candidates must be in the San Francisco Bay Area or willing to relocate and work from the office three days per week.
Benefits
- $185,000 to $230,000 base salary.
- Meaningful early-stage equity.
- Direct access to the founders and substantial ownership over product and engineering decisions.
- Opportunity to join a fast-growing team ahead of its next financing stage.
- Existing H-1B transfers and TN, J-1, or O-1 visas may be considered, but the company cannot provide new H-1B sponsorship.
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: Engineers, All Other (SOC 17-2199) — estimated from the job title.
- 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 “Engineer” — 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 III (experienced)Engineers, All Other · San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA. Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).
| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $98,051 | ~15% |
| Level II | $130,146 | ~31% |
| Level III | $162,261 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $194,355 | ~61% |
This job pays $185,000–$230,000 a year — that's Level III (experienced). In the wage-weighted H-1B lottery a Level III registration gets 3 entries; estimated selection chance about 46% — 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.
