Read this before you rely on it. A certified filing is a legally binding wage attestation, but it records what an employer did, not a promise about what they will do next. PayPal sponsoring last quarter does not guarantee it will sponsor your role or hire you. Published data lags by roughly a quarter. Sponsorship history is evidence, never a guarantee.

How to apply to PayPal

  1. Target the roles they actually sponsor. PayPal filed most often for Software Engineer in San Jose, CA. Match your search to the titles and cities above.
  2. Say you need sponsorship up front. Many applications ask; answer honestly. A history of filings means PayPal has sponsored before, and knows the process.
  3. Get past the resume filter. Sponsored roles draw hundreds of applicants and most are screened by software first. Scan your resume for the ATS problems that get it filtered out, before you apply.

These open an external job search — a sponsorship history is not a list of current openings, and PayPal may not be hiring your role now. New to this? Read how H-1B sponsorship works → · Search on Google
