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. Showing 100 of 508; 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 are hiring for AI jobs in San Francisco? 508 AI and machine learning roles in San Francisco are open on Real Analyst Jobs as of 15 November 2026, at 127 companies. 403 (79%) are at employers with a USCIS H-1B 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 (75), Anthropic (54) and Scale AI (19). 410 of the 508 roles list yearly pay in US dollars; the median midpoint of the listed ranges is $255K, and the middle half runs from $212K to $313K. 14 postings say they will not sponsor a visa; they stay on the list, last. ### Which companies with an H-1B record have AI and machine learning roles in San Francisco open? Today: OpenAI, Anthropic, Scale AI, DoorDash, Perplexity and Databricks. 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? 413 of the 508 roles (81%) state pay in the posting, in the employer's own words and currency. ### How much do AI and machine learning roles in San Francisco pay? By the postings themselves: 410 of the 508 roles list yearly pay in US dollars. The median midpoint of the listed ranges is $255K, and the middle half runs from $212K to $313K.

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.
