Immigration Specialist [Contract]

About the Role

We’re looking for an Immigration Specialist to join our People team on a contract basis. As Fireworks grows quickly and hires globally, immigration is a critical part of how we bring great people in and keep them. You’ll own the day-to-day management of our immigration cases, from visas for new hires to permanent residency for existing employees, and be a trusted, knowledgeable point of contact for the employees going through the process.

This is a fast-paced role for someone who enjoys keeping a high volume of cases moving at once, stays current on a changing immigration landscape, and knows when a situation needs to go to someone else.

What You’ll Do

• Manage our full portfolio of immigration cases, including permanent resident applications and a range of visa cases (such as H-1B, O-1, L-1, and TN) for new hires and existing employees, partnering with outside counsel on filings and keeping each case on track in a fast-paced environment.
• Assist in initiating work visa applications at a global level, with the majority of cases in the U.S. and additional cases in our global locations such as Singapore and UK.
• Serve as the first point of contact for new hires and employees with immigration questions, guiding them through our policies and processes and advising on straightforward cases.
• Use sound judgment to recognize exceptional or complex situations, and escalate them to the People Partner and business leaders with clear context and recommended options.
• Work with People Operations to keep our immigration policies and employee-facing resources accurate, clear, and up to date.
• Stay current on U.S. immigration law and policy changes, and flag developments that affect our employees or hiring plans.

What We’re Looking for

• 2+ years of experience managing employment-based immigration cases, whether in-house or at a law firm or immigration services provider
• Hands-on experience with common employment-based visa categories (H-1B, O-1, L-1, TN) and permanent residency processes (PERM, I-140, I-485)
• Strong working knowledge of U.S. immigration law and a habit of staying on top of policy changes
• Excellent organization and follow-through, with the ability to manage a high volume of cases and deadlines at once
• Clear, empathetic communication. You can explain a complicated process simply to someone who is anxious about their status
• Good judgment on when to advise directly and when to escalate
• Experience partnering with outside immigration counsel and cross-functional teams to move cases through the process
• Experience supporting immigration matters outside the U.S., particularly Singapore and the UK will be a plus.

Why Fireworks?

• Solve Hard Problems: Tackle challenges at the forefront of AI infrastructure, from low-latency inference to scalable model serving.
