We’re Paying $100K to Unblock Talent

Gullie will sponsor work visas for the right people, including covering the new $100K H-1B fee. Borders shouldn’t be a barrier to talent.

Gullie will sponsor work visas for the right people, including covering the new $100K H-1B fee.

Why This Matters

At Gullie, we believe that where you live shapes how you thrive. We’ve seen talented people unable to take their dream job because of visa constraints, and companies pass on exceptional candidates because relocation felt too complex. As the experts in relocation, we see this as a non-blocker.

Designing the environment and life you want is critical to overall happiness and performance. The right city, the right community, the right setup — these unlock your best work and your best life. If you’re the right person, we’ll make it work.

What Changed

On September 19, 2025, President Trump signed a proclamation requiring a $100,000 payment to accompany any new H-1B visa petitions submitted after September 21, 2025. This includes the 2026 lottery and all future H-1B petitions.

For many companies, this new fee has become a barrier to hiring international talent. For us, it’s a commitment we’re willing to make.

The Problem with Geography

The best engineers, operators, and builders are distributed all over the world. Yet most companies limit themselves to hiring within their own country simply because visa sponsorship and relocation feels too complicated, too expensive, or too risky. We believe that the right people are worth investing in.

We’re solving global mobility for other companies — it would be ridiculous not to practice what we preach.

How This Works

If you’re the right fit for Gullie, we’ll handle:

  • Visa sponsorship costs — legal fees, filing fees, and everything in between
  • Relocation support — moving you to San Francisco, setting you up for success
  • Immigration guidance — working with top immigration attorneys to streamline the process
  • Ongoing support — helping you and your family settle in

We’re not just offering visa sponsorship as a checkbox benefit. We’re actively invested in making your move seamless because we know firsthand how hard relocation can be.

Not sure which visa applies to you? Try our free visa checker to see the options by passport, destination, and role — and check current US embassy appointment wait times.

Here’s the catch — you’ll be dogfooding our product and using our platform to relocate to the bay, and then working with us to improve it after! 😛

Who We’re Looking For

We’re hiring for engineering and operations roles. If you’re someone who:

  • Wants to build the future of global mobility from the ground up
  • Thrives in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment
  • Is willing to relocate to San Francisco to build in person
  • Brings deep curiosity, technical rigor, and a bias for action
  • Aligns with our values

…then we want to hear from you, regardless of where you are today.

How to Apply

We move fast, we ship faster, and we’re building something that matters. Let’s build it together.
