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. 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

### Does Waymo sponsor H-1B visas?

Waymo has 376 new H-1B workers approved on USCIS record from FY2023 to FY2026 (USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub, data as of 2026-09-30). An H-1B record is the employer's history, not a promise for this role. 48 US AI and machine learning roles at Waymo are open on Real Analyst Jobs as of 15 November 2026. None of these postings says either way whether it sponsors a visa. 46 of the 48 roles list yearly pay in US dollars; the median midpoint of the listed ranges is $238K, and the middle half runs from $238K to $281K.

### 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?

46 of the 48 roles (96%) state pay in the posting, in the employer's own words and currency.

### How much do US AI and machine learning roles at Waymo pay?

By the postings themselves: 46 of the 48 roles list yearly pay in US dollars. The median midpoint of the listed ranges is $238K, and the middle half runs from $238K to $281K. 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.
