H1b Jobs

Positions 4,735 Updated daily

H1b tech roles are booming as U.S. companies fill gaps in AI, cloud, and cybersecurity. The 2024 hiring surge—marked by a 20% rise in new sponsorships—means more opportunities for skilled professionals seeking a stable visa path.

Typical H1b positions include Backend Engineer (Python, Go, microservices), Frontend Developer (React, TypeScript, CSS), Data Engineer (Spark, Kafka, BigQuery), Data Scientist (Python, TensorFlow, statistical modeling), Cybersecurity Analyst (SIEM, SOC, AWS GuardDuty), DevOps Engineer (Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines), and AI Researcher (NLP, reinforcement learning). Responsibilities span designing scalable architectures, optimizing data pipelines, securing cloud environments, and deploying ML models to production.

Salary transparency is critical for H1b holders because visa sponsorship involves significant upfront costs and relocation expenses. Knowing the exact pay range helps you negotiate better, compare offers across regions, and budget for living costs—especially in high‑cost metros like San Francisco or New York—ensuring you receive fair compensation for your expertise.
