US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).

About the role
Become a part of our caring community We are seeking an accomplished Senior Software Engineer to design, implement, and operate mission-critical stateful services that form the backbone of real-time, automated decisioning and personalization platforms. These systems are responsible for maintaining authoritative state, orchestrating lifecycle transitions, and ensuring reliable downstream effects—often in high-concurrency, low-latency environments. This position is ideal for engineers with a strong grasp of state machines, idempotency, distributed systems, and “exactly-once” execution semantics. You will also employ advanced AI-assisted and agentic engineering tools to drive correctness, velocity, resilience, and scalability. Key Responsibilities State Machine Architecture & Implementation • Design, build, and maintain explicit state machines governing: • Lifecycle transitions (e.g., open → in progress → completed → suppressed) • Validation of permissible transitions • Time-based and event-driven changes • Ensure state machines are: • Clearly modeled and not hidden in code logic • Deterministic, reproducible, and auditable • Easily understood and testable • Robust against illegal or duplicate transitions through comprehensive validation Transactional State Memory & Exactly-Once Processing • Architect and manage transactional state stores serving as the single source of truth • Support safe, high-concurrency read/write operations • Uphold system invariants across partial failures and recovery scenarios • Implement robust idempotency controls so: • Requests can be safely retried • Commands execute at most once • Duplicate events do not compromise state integrity • Develop APIs and workflows resilient to retries, restarts, and replay events Reliable Side Effects via Outbox Pattern • Employ the outbox pattern to guarantee atomicity of state updates and event publication • Prevent loss or duplication of side effects • Maintain clear separation between state mutation and downstream event delivery • Facilitate replay, backfill, and recovery operations without breaching state guarantees • Integrate seamlessly with messaging and streaming platforms, ensuring fault tolerance Distributed Systems & Concurrency Management • Design for correctness under concurrent updates, network partitions, partial failures, and service redeployments • Apply expertise in: • Idempotency keys • Optimistic and pessimistic locking strategies • Event ordering and causality • Balance rigorous correctness with performance and latency requirements AI-Assisted & Agentic Engineering Practices • Leverage AI-powered and agentic tools to: • Automatically generate and validate state transition tests • Probe edge cases and concurrency challenges • Assist in code reviews, refactoring, and documentation • Accelerate debugging, incident analysis, and root cause discovery • Use AI responsibly to enhance productivity while maintaining clarity and system integrity Observability, Auditability & Trust • Engineer services with robust observability through: • Structured logging, metrics, and alerting • Distributed tracing • Ensure all state transitions and emitted events are: • Fully traceable and reproducible • Auditable for compliance and investigative needs Collaboration & Technical Leadership • Partner with platform, data, and quality engineering teams to assure end-to-end reliability • Participate in architecture and design reviews to elevate system quality standards • Mentor and guide engineers on best practices for safe, reliable, and maintainable distributed systems Use your skills to make an impact Required Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in computer science or related field • 6+ years of experience in backend or plat
