Description
About Verisk Extreme Event Solutions
Verisk Extreme Event Solutions helps organizations understand, quantify, and prepare for some of the world’s most complex risks—from natural catastrophes and climate change to emerging global threats. Our teams combine advanced science, modern software engineering, and powerful analytics to build solutions that support critical decisions for insurers, businesses, governments, and communities. Here, engineers work on meaningful products at scale, in a collaborative environment that values curiosity, technical excellence, continuous learning, and practical innovation.
The Role
We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer who is excited to build modern, cloud-based analytic applications that solve real-world problems. In this agile engineering role, you will contribute across the full stack—designing scalable services, building intuitive user experiences, and helping evolve high-performance solutions used to model and manage extreme event risk. Our core production stack is .NET, Angular, and AWS, but we place equal value on strong engineering fundamentals, adaptability, and a desire to grow within an AI-forward development culture.

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)
This employer has filed before (E-3 Australian: 1). 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.
- Green card (EB-2 / EB-3 via PERM)
Filed 36 PERM labor certifications: they have a track record of sponsoring permanent residence.
Salary vs prevailing wage
Software Developers · Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH. Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).
| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $114,275 | ~15% |
| Level II | $138,237 | ~31% |
| Level III | $162,198 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $186,160 | ~61% |
The listing has no salary, so we can't place it on a wage level. Ask the employer which wage level they'd file at: Level III–IV registrations get 3–4 entries in the H-1B lottery.
* 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.
