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. Live roles as of 15 November 2026. [Open the AI tab](https://realanalystjobs.com/?mode=ai#jobs). ## Frequently asked ### Which companies hire AI infrastructure engineers in California? 82 AI infrastructure engineer roles in California are open on Real Analyst Jobs as of 15 November 2026, at 25 companies. 81 (99%) are at employers with a USCIS H-1B record (USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub, FY2023 to FY2026, data as of 2026-09-30).

By location: San Jose (17), San Francisco (16) and Cupertino (14). 41 of the 82 roles list yearly pay in US dollars; the median midpoint of the listed ranges is $257K, and the middle half runs from $212K to $310K. 11 postings say they will not sponsor a visa; they stay on the list, last. ### Which companies with an H-1B record have AI infrastructure engineer roles in California open? Today: AMD, Amazon, CoreWeave, Anthropic, OpenAI and Zoox. 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. Where a posting says it will not sponsor, believe the posting. ### How many of these roles list pay? 41 of the 82 roles (50%) state pay in the posting, in the employer's own words and currency. ### How much do AI infrastructure engineer roles in California pay? By the postings themselves: 41 of the 82 roles list yearly pay in US dollars. The median midpoint of the listed ranges is $257K, and the middle half runs from $212K to $310K. This is pay the employers list, not an offer: what one hire is paid depends on level, location and the employer. ### Which roles count as AI jobs here? Roles whose title names AI or machine learning work: ML engineer, AI engineer, LLM and generative AI engineer, MLOps and AI platform, applied and research scientist in AI, forward deployed engineer, AI product manager, AI infrastructure and AI data engineer. 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. Nothing is estimated. ## Up a level - [AI and Machine Learning Jobs in the US](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs) - [AI Infrastructure Engineer Jobs in the US (133)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/ai-infrastructure-engineer) - [AI Jobs in California and the Bay Area (1,555)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/in/california) ## Visa sponsorship - [AI and Machine Learning Jobs with Visa Sponsorship in the US (3,118)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/visa-sponsorship) - [AI and Machine Learning Jobs for OPT Students (252)](https://realanalystjobs.com/opt-jobs/machine-learning) ## More AI infrastructure engineer pages - [Senior and Staff AI Infrastructure Engineer Jobs (70)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/ai-infrastructure-engineer/senior) ## Related pages - [Machine Learning Engineer Jobs in California (297)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/machine-learning-engineer/in/california) - [Machine Learning Engineer Jobs in New York (42)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/machine-learning-engineer/in/new-york) - [Machine Learning Engineer Jobs in Seattle and Washington State (77)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/machine-learning-engineer/in/washington) - [AI Engineer Jobs in California (183)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/ai-engineer/in/california) - [Forward Deployed Engineer Jobs in the UK (59)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/forward-deployed-engineer/country/uk) - [Forward Deployed Engineer Jobs in India (37)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/forward-deployed-engineer/country/india) - [Machine Learning Jobs in Canada (28)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/machine-learning-engineer/country/canada) - [AI Research and Applied Scientist Jobs in California (121)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/research-scientist/in/california) - [Forward Deployed Engineer Jobs in California (79)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/forward-deployed-engineer/in/california) - [AI Research and Applied Scientist Jobs in Seattle and Washington State (49)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/research-scientist/in/washington) - [AI Product Manager Jobs in New York (35)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/ai-product-manager/in/new-york) - [AI Engineer Jobs in Texas (28)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/ai-engineer/in/texas) ## Elsewhere on Real Analyst Jobs - [H-1B Sponsor Checker: look up any company](https://realanalystjobs.com/tools/h1b-sponsor-checker)
