01 · Sponsorship evidence first
Sponsorship status
Support stated in the evidence
Visa: Will sponsor
Employer-maintained YC role metadata states willingness to sponsor. This does not identify a visa category, guarantee an H-1B outcome, or establish CPT/OPT/STEM-OPT/E-Verify eligibility; confirm the route and start-date authorization directly with recruiting.
Sponsorship evidence reviewed 2026-10-23. This does not refresh the job posting check below.
Evidence scope: Specific posting. A program policy and historical employer records do not establish support for every role.

Questions still to resolve
- Graduation requirements are recorded as years, seasons or descriptive wording rather than exact dates. Confirm your timeline with recruiting.
- E-Verify enrollment has not been matched to the hiring legal entity. Verify separately if relevant to STEM OPT.
- Compare your degree and enrollment status with the official requirements.
- Confirm that applications are still being accepted.
- No fixed deadline was confirmed; check the official posting before applying.
Graduation dates are compared only where exact bounds are stated. We do not infer CPT/OPT eligibility, work permission or H-1B timing from your academic year.
03 · Separate employer check
E-Verify
Hiring legal entity not independently confirmed
No official E-Verify legal-employer match verified; this is not a finding of non-enrollment.
E-Verify participation is separate from H-1B sponsorship and the other STEM OPT requirements. An employer statement or an unmatched name is not a completed legal-employer verification.
