If the company have an office outside the US, you can work in the office for 12 months and then they can sponsor you for a L1 Visa.

Also, you're somewhat a well know developer ( or can make the USCIS you are) you're eligible for a O-1A visa.

You're wish to do an internship of miss the H1B deadline or don't get picked up for the H1B lottery you can get a J1 visa for 12-18 months and apply again nest year.

And lastly if the founder is on a E-2 visa, he can sponsor you for a E-2.

Or if you are Australian you can get sponsored on the E-3 visa
