This posting does not say whether the role sponsors visas. Unconfirmed means unknown, not no. Ask the recruiter early.

The first label is what this posting says; the H-1B filer note is Point72's USCIS H-1B history — petitions the employer has filed, which is context, not a promise that this role sponsors.
