Job description
Title: Senior Full Stack Engineer
Location: San Francisco or New York - hybrid
Salary: $200,000-$250,000
Work type: Permanent, full-time
Equity: 0.25%-0.75%
The Opportunity
This is not a role for someone who wants to own one service and hand the rest to another team. You will be close to the product, the users and the decisions that shape both.
A fast-growing, VC-backed start-up is building the operating system behind high-skilled US immigration. Following $10M in revenue last year, the business is targeting significant growth and is expanding a deliberately small engineering team.
The challenge is broad: simplify complex legal workflows, rebuild the customer portal and strengthen the architecture beneath a product used by customers and internal specialists every day.
The Role
- Lead improvements across frontend and backend architecture, with a backend lean.
- Rebuild the customer-facing portal and design the APIs behind it.
- Create robust task orchestration for multi-step drafting, review and filing workflows.
- Improve backend services, event pipelines, scheduled jobs and CI/CD.
- Design clear data models, schemas, migrations and access controls.
- Ship polished React interfaces and triage issues across the entire product.
- Work directly with product, customers and operational users to understand what should be built.
The Person
- Deep TypeScript and React expertise, alongside credible backend engineering experience.
- Usually 5+ years in full stack product engineering, with evidence of complete end-to-end delivery.
- Strong API, relational database and systems-design fundamentals.
- Comfortable with Python, Node, Django, FastAPI or an equivalent backend environment.
- Thrives in a small start-up where ambiguity, autonomy and user contact are part of the job.
- Can explain technical trade-offs to non-technical colleagues and make sensible decisions independently.
- Bachelor's degree or higher, preferably in computer science or a related discipline.
- Experience as an early or founding engineer, leading others or contributing to open source would be valuable.
What Is on Offer
- $200,000-$250,000 base salary, with flexibility to $300,000 for an exceptional candidate.
- 25%-0.75% equity.
- High ownership and direct influence over product and architecture.
- Focused standard working hours, without an expectation of routine weekend work.
- Hybrid working in San Francisco; New York candidates can work remotely until the local office opens.
- Relocation support plus OPT, H-1B transfer and TN visa support.
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 JLA Resourcing Ltd 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 · United States (national median of areas). Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).
| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $79,290 | ~15% |
| Level II | $100,152 | ~31% |
| Level III | $120,422 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $141,190 | ~61% |
This job pays $200,000–$250,000 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.
