An H-1B record here means the employer has approved H-1B workers on file with USCIS (FY2023 to FY2026) or certified H-1B labor condition applications (LCAs) for data scientist titles in FY2025 with the Department of Labor. It is the employer's history across its roles, not a promise that this role will sponsor. Live roles as of 7 November 2026. 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](https://www.e-verify.gov/e-verify-employer-search).

## Using this list on OPT and STEM OPT

- OPT is work authorization of its own, so an employer does not have to sponsor you to hire you on it. The role should relate to your degree field.
- The STEM OPT extension needs an employer enrolled in E-Verify that signs a training plan with you (Form I-983). The E-Verify column shows enrolment where we could match the employer to E-Verify's public employer list; confirm with the employer that the site you would join is enrolled before you accept.
- An H-1B record shows the company has filed for new workers before. It is employer-wide history, not a promise for this role.
- Where a posting says it will not sponsor, believe the posting: the job would likely end with your OPT.
- Universities, their affiliated nonprofits and nonprofit research organizations are cap-exempt: they can file an H-1B at any time of year, with no lottery.
- Other employers enter the H-1B lottery, which registers in March for jobs starting on 1 October, so the sponsorship talk usually comes in your first months on OPT.
- Ask about sponsorship once you are talking to the team, and answer the application's work authorization question honestly.

## Where the numbers come from

Roles are read from the employers' own career pages and re-checked daily. This page counts US roles with data scientist, applied scientist, decision scientist, product data scientist and analytics scientist titles. H-1B approvals come from the [USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub](https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/h-1b-employer-data-hub) (data as of 2026-06-30) and LCAs from the [DOL OFLC disclosure data](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/foreign-labor/performance) (downloaded 6 November 2026), both matched by company name. What a posting says about sponsorship is read from its own text. Reposting sites are left out. Nothing is estimated.

## Frequently asked

### Can I get a data scientist job on OPT, and which ones are open?

80 entry-level data science roles that do not rule out sponsorship are open on Real Analyst Jobs on 7 November 2026, at 37 companies. 62 (78%) are at employers with an H-1B record (USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub, FY2023 to FY2026, data as of 2026-06-30; DOL OFLC LCA Disclosure Data, FY2025). The most are at Amazon (29), TikTok (7) and Lyft (3). By location: California (18), Washington (18) and New York (9), and 5 fully remote. No entry-level posting says it will not sponsor today. 44 are at employers listed as enrolled in E-Verify, which a STEM OPT extension needs; confirm the hiring site with the employer. OPT itself needs no sponsorship.

### Do I need visa sponsorship to work as a data scientist on OPT?

No. OPT is work authorization of its own, so an employer does not have to sponsor you to hire you on it, as long as the role relates to your degree. Sponsorship matters later, for an H-1B.

### Can I work for these employers on STEM OPT?

Only if the employer is enrolled in E-Verify and signs a training plan with you (Form I-983). 44 of the 80 roles here are at employers we matched by name to E-Verify's public employer list as of 6 November 2026. Employers choose which hiring sites use E-Verify, so confirm the site you would join 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. Whether your degree qualifies for STEM OPT is for your school's DSO to confirm.

### Which companies with an H-1B record have entry-level data science roles open?

Today: Amazon, TikTok, Lyft, Socure, Equifax and Google. An H-1B record here means the employer has approved H-1B workers on file with USCIS (FY2023 to FY2026) or certified H-1B labor condition applications (LCAs) for data scientist titles in FY2025 with the Department of Labor. It is the employer's history across its roles, not a promise that this role will sponsor.

### 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) or certified H-1B labor condition applications (LCAs) for data scientist titles in FY2025 with the Department of Labor. It is the employer's history across its roles, not a promise that this role will sponsor. Where a posting says it will not sponsor, believe the posting.

### 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 2026-06-30) and LCAs from the DOL OFLC disclosure data (downloaded 6 November 2026), matched by company name. What a posting says about sponsorship is read from its own text. Nothing is estimated.
