Your opportunity
At Schwab, you’re empowered to make an impact on your career. Here, innovative thought meets creative problem solving, helping us challenge the status quo and transform the finance industry together. We believe in the importance of in-office collaboration and fully intend for the selected candidate for this role to work on site in the specified location(s).
The Analytics Data Platform Engineering (ADPE) organization governs the strategy and implementation of the enterprise data warehouse and emerging data platforms. Our mission is to drive activation of data solutions, rep engagement technology (Sales, Marketing and Service), and client intelligence to achieve targeted business outcomes, address data risk, and safeguard competitive edge—helping leaders across the firm make fact-based decisions by integrating and analyzing data.
As a Data Engineer, you’ll partner closely with business stakeholders and a team of data engineers and subject matter experts to design, build, and improve enterprise data integration solutions that power analytics, reporting, and data science. You’ll translate business and data requirements into scalable ingestion and transformation workflows across a variety of patterns (batch, near real-time, and real time), with a strong emphasis on reliability, data quality, and performance.
In this role, you’ll work in a highly collaborative environment—coordinating across onshore and offshore teams and engaging with cross-functional partners such as business analysts, data modelers, technical leaders, and vendor teams. You’ll influence technical direction through well-defined ETL specifications and documentation, rigorous testing and quality assurance practices, and consistent alignment to development, coding, and testing standards. You’ll also help teams move faster and smarter by advocating for agile ways of working, guiding delivery with hands-on technical expertise, and driving decisions that keep outcomes on track.
You’ll have the opportunity to grow your impact through challenging work that shapes the future of the data warehouse—building modern integrations using best-in-class technologies (including Informatica IICS and BigQuery), strengthening how data is modeled and governed, and helping ensure high-quality data is available when it matters most. If you thrive on problem-solving, sound technical decision-making, and partnering with others to deliver measurable outcomes, this is a chance to build capability while making a tangible difference across the enterprise.

Target employers with active data pipelines
Companies running large-scale data infrastructure in finance, healthcare, and retail sponsor ETL roles far more consistently than smaller firms. These employers have established immigration programs and recurring H-1B filing cycles, which means less friction for you.
Align your degree field to the job description
USCIS scrutinizes ETL roles for specialty occupation eligibility. A degree in computer science, information systems, or data engineering directly supports your petition. A degree in an unrelated field creates risk, even if your experience is strong.
Emphasize specific tools and platforms in your resume
Sponsors filing your H-1B petition need to demonstrate the role requires specialized knowledge. Listing platforms like Informatica, dbt, Apache Spark, or Azure Data Factory makes the specialty occupation argument concrete and defensible for USCIS review.
Ask about cap-exempt employers during your search
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and certain government-affiliated entities are exempt from the H-1B lottery. ETL roles exist at many of these organizations, and a cap-exempt filing means you can start work without waiting for the annual lottery.
Confirm the employer has filed H-1Bs before
Employers new to sponsorship face longer processing times and higher RFE risk because USCIS scrutinizes first-time petitions more heavily. Prioritize employers with a documented H-1B filing history, which you can verify through public DOL disclosure data.
Consider OPT STEM extension timing carefully
If you're on F-1 OPT, your STEM extension gives you up to three years of work authorization. Time your H-1B registration to the April lottery window and ensure your employer files before your OPT expires to avoid gaps in work authorization.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ETL developer considered a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, ETL developer is consistently approved as a specialty occupation when the job description requires a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, information systems, or a related technical field. Roles that involve Informatica, dbt, Apache Spark, or cloud-based pipeline tools strengthen the argument. USCIS issues RFEs most often when job duties are described in generic terms, so precise, technical job descriptions matter significantly at petition stage.
What degree do I need for an employer to sponsor me as an ETL developer?
A bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, data engineering, or a closely related field is the standard requirement. Some employers accept a degree in a different field if combined with substantial coursework or certifications directly relevant to ETL development. USCIS applies a three-for-one rule for experience in lieu of education, meaning three years of qualifying work experience can substitute for one year of a four-year degree, though this path draws more scrutiny.
How competitive is the H-1B lottery for ETL developers?
ETL developers compete in the same general H-1B visa pool as all other specialty occupation workers. In recent years, USCIS has received more than 400,000 registrations for 85,000 available slots, producing selection rates around 20 to 25 percent. Holding an advanced U.S. master's degree improves selection odds because those petitions enter a separate, smaller pool first. Australians can bypass the lottery entirely using the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and no annual cap issues in practice.
Which types of employers most commonly sponsor ETL developers?
Financial services firms, healthcare systems, insurance companies, and large enterprise technology companies are the most active sponsors for ETL roles, based on DOL LCA disclosure data. These industries run complex, high-volume data environments that require dedicated pipeline engineers. Consulting firms that place contractors at client sites also file frequently. You can browse verified sponsoring employers actively hiring ETL developers on Migrate Mate.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I switch ETL jobs?
Yes. Under H-1B portability rules, you can start working for a new employer as soon as the new petition is filed, without waiting for approval, provided your previous H-1B was approved and you haven't fallen out of status. The new employer files a transfer petition using Form I-129. There is no cap slot required for a transfer. Most experienced ETL developers change employers this way without disruption to their work authorization.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Etl Developer jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
