About the role:

We are seeking a highly detail-oriented Immigration Forms Analyst to join our growing product team. In this role, you will be responsible for analyzing, specifying, and validating immigration forms across USCIS, DOL, and DOS filing requirements, ensuring our software accurately captures complex case data and produces error-free filings.

You will collaborate closely with the product manager and engineers to translate legal requirements into technical specifications, validate accurate data mapping for both PDF generation and electronic filing, and diagnose form-related issues to ensure seamless functionality. Your expertise in immigration law and form preparation will be essential to our continued success in providing immigration software that meets the needs of legal professionals and their clients.
