About this role

Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.

About the role

We’re looking for a Global Mobility and Compliance Manager to build and scale our mobility programs as we grow a world-class, in-person team across the U.S. and internationally. You’ll own end-to-end global mobility operations — from immigration and visas to relocations, compliance, and employee experience — helping us hire and move exceptional talent quickly and thoughtfully. This role sits within the People team and partners closely with Recruiting, Legal, Finance, and leadership to ensure our mobility strategy enables ambitious hiring goals while maintaining a high bar for compliance and care.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, enjoys solving complex cross-border challenges, and wants to help shape how a talent-dense company scales globally.

What you’ll do

Own and manage all aspects of U.S. and international immigration programs (e.g., H-1B, O-1, TN, L-1, PERM, etc.), partnering with external counsel where appropriate

Lead end-to-end employee relocations (domestic and international), delivering a high-touch, seamless experience

Develop and maintain global mobility policies, guidelines, and internal documentation

Ensure compliance with immigration, tax, payroll, and employment regulations across jurisdictions

Partner with Recruiting to assess visa feasibility and mobility options for candidates

Track key mobility metrics, manage case workflows, and maintain accurate documentation and reporting

Evaluate and manage mobility vendors (immigration counsel, relocation providers, tax advisors)

Proactively identify risks and implement scalable processes as we grow into new geographies

Advise employees and managers on mobility timelines, expectations, and best practices

You may be a fit if

You have 6+ years of experience in global mobility, immigration, or international HR operations

You’ve managed U.S. immigration programs in-house and are comfortable navigating complex cases

You understand cross-border tax, relocation logistics, and compliance considerations

You’re highly detail-oriented and operationally rigorous, but pragmatic when speed is required

You’re comfortable working in a flat, high-ownership environment with minimal bureaucracy

You communicate clearly and confidently with candidates, employees, executives, and external counsel

You’re excited about building programs from scratch and improving them continuously

You care deeply about employee experience and balancing compliance with empathy & urgency

You’re willing to work in-person in San Francisco or New York

If you’re energized by enabling exceptional people to do their best work — wherever they’re coming from — we’d love to talk.
