Hi there,

Do you offer visa sponsorship for international applicants? I graduated from Duke with a CS degree, have worked at both Google and IBM (where I wrote primarily in Golang), and would really be interested in a software engineer distributed systems role at Cockroach labs.

Hi! Please reach out to info@cockroachlabs.com and put Head of People Operations in the subject line. I can learn more about your visa situation and see if we can accommodate!

FYI: The H1B cap for current year has already been reached

The earliest a person can apply for H1B and start working would be Oct 2018.

Since (s)he graduated from Duke and worked with Google in golang (relatively recent), very likely that (s)he is either on STEM OPT or already have H1b.

Also, that's a very odd use for a throwaway account.
