Job description
Our client is looking for an AI Product Engineer to join their team! In this role, you will design, build, and improve core AI products. This is a hands-on engineering and product role: work directly with customers to understand legal workflow problems, turn those needs into software, ship quickly, and take responsibility for how the product performs in use. The team wants an engineer who can make sound decisions and deliver without a detailed playbook.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
- Build and enhance AI-driven software, including its quality, scalability, and performance.
- Work with customers, sales, and engineering to turn user needs into shipped features.
- Test, debug, and optimize the product for a smooth user experience.
- Help implement and troubleshoot the product during customer onboarding and integrations.
- Document technical designs, processes, and systems as the product evolves.
MUST HAVE
- 2–4 years of software engineering experience, ideally in SaaS or AI products.
- Production proficiency in Python, JavaScript, or another relevant language.
- Familiarity with AI frameworks, machine learning concepts, and AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, take initiative, and ship practical solutions at startup pace.
- Strong communication and collaboration across technical and business teams.
- Ability to work in San Francisco office five days per week.
NICE TO HAVE
- Legal tech, healthtech, or document-intensive SaaS experience.
- AI pipelines for document processing or information extraction.
BENEFITS
Salary: $200,000 - $300,000 DOE + Competitive Equity
Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage; competitive equity; and career growth as the company scales.
Sponsorship: H-1B and OPT eligible
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 JeffreyM Consulting 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 III (experienced)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 $200,000–$300,000 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.
