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).

Senior Manager, SME Solutions Architecture
An overview of this role
You'll build and lead the regional team of product Subject Matter Experts who win GitLab's most complex opportunities. Your team covers four product groups: Security & Compliance, Platform, Core DevSecOps, and AI & Competitive. You'll partner with regional sales leadership to decide where SMEs go, coach your team to technical wins, and make sure every engagement leaves the Account team stronger. This is a player-coach role.

What you'll do
• Hire, develop and retain a regional team of SMEs across four product groups, with a clear growth path for each person.

• Review SME coverage weekly against the regional pipeline. Move capacity to where product-category commit and consumption are at risk.

What you'll bring
• 5+ Years experience leading technical pre-sales, solutions architecture or consulting, including time leading teams of technical individual contributors.
• Hands-on depth in at least one of the four product groups, and enough breadth to coach across all four, including working fluency with AI-assisted development.
• A record of hiring and developing high-performing technical specialists or SAs.
• Experience partnering with sales leaders on enterprise forecasts, deal strategy and territory planning.
• Comfort with data. You can show how your team moves win rates, cycle times and c
