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. E-Verify: Enrolled means the employer is enrolled per E-Verify's public employer list as of 6 November 2026; we matched it by name. Employers choose which hiring sites use E-Verify, so confirm with the employer that the site you would join is enrolled, and check the company's E-Verify number on your Form I-983. No data means we could not match the employer, not that it is not enrolled. Search E-Verify's employer list.

Entry Level MLOps Engineer Jobs open on 15 November 2026, by the state in the posting.

Roles are read from the employers' own career pages and re-checked daily; a role that comes down at the source leaves this list at the next sync. A role counts as AI when its title names AI or machine learning work (ML engineer, AI engineer, LLM and generative AI engineer, MLOps, applied and research scientist in AI, forward deployed engineer, AI product manager, AI infrastructure and AI data engineer). What a posting says about sponsorship is read from its own text. Reposting sites and exact duplicate postings are left out. Nothing is estimated.
