H-1B workers on file with USCIS (FY2023 to FY2026). An H-1B record is the employer's history, not a promise for this role. No match means we could not tie the company to a USCIS record by name, not that it never sponsors. Showing 100 of 148; every role is on the AI tab of the job board. Live roles as of 15 November 2026. [Open the AI tab](https://realanalystjobs.com/?mode=ai#jobs). ## Frequently asked ### Which companies hire AI engineers in California with visa sponsorship? 148 AI engineer roles in California at employers with an H-1B record or postings that say they sponsor are open on Real Analyst Jobs as of 15 November 2026, at 66 companies. 148 (100%) are at employers with approved H-1B workers on record (USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub, FY2023 to FY2026, data as of 2026-09-30). An H-1B record is the employer's history, not a promise for this role. The most are at OpenAI (27), Anthropic (21) and TikTok (7). By location: San Francisco (86), San Jose (13) and Santa Clara (6). 101 of the 148 roles list yearly pay in US dollars; the median midpoint of the listed ranges is $252K, and the middle half runs from $228K to $285K. 4 postings say they will not sponsor a visa; they stay on the list, last. 14 postings say in their own text that they sponsor. ### Which companies with an H-1B record have AI engineer roles in California open? Today: OpenAI, Anthropic, TikTok, Perplexity, Scale AI and AMD. An H-1B record here means the employer has approved H-1B workers on file with USCIS (FY2023 to FY2026). An H-1B record is the employer's history, not a promise for this role. ### Does an H-1B record mean this role will sponsor a visa? No. An H-1B record here means the employer has approved H-1B workers on file with USCIS (FY2023 to FY2026). An H-1B record is the employer's history, not a promise for this role.

Front-end, mobile, design and sales roles are left out even when the team works on AI. Analyst roles with AI in the title stay on the analyst board. ### Where does the data come from? Roles are read daily from the employers' own career pages and the page updates every hour. H-1B approvals come from the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub (data as of 2026-09-30), matched by company name. What a posting says about sponsorship is read from its own text. Reposting sites are left out.
