Which software companies are currently hiring Staff/Principal SWE roles without sponsorship requirements?
I’m currently exploring Staff/Principal-level Software Engineering opportunities and wanted to get a sense of which companies are actively hiring right now.
I recently got my green card, so I do not need visa sponsorship (no H1B transfer or future sponsorship needed). I’m hoping that broadens the pool a bit, especially in the current market.
Would love to hear:
- Companies that are actively hiring at Staff/Principal level with Teams/orgs that are still growing
- Any places where hiring has picked up recently
- Good experiences with interview processes or hiring timelines
Background:
- 13 YOE
- Distributed systems / infrastructure / large-scale systems
- Tech lead + cross-functional leadership experience
Open to both big tech and strong mid-size/product companies.
Thanks!
