Real Analyst Jobs lists 49 entry-level data scientist roles open in the US today at 12 companies that appear on E-Verify's public employer list (E-Verify Employer Search, 6 November 2026; employers' careers pages, checked 14 November 2026), out of 81 on the OPT list for this title. 49 of them are at employers with approved H-1B workers on record (USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub, FY2023 to FY2026, data as of 30 September 2026). E-Verify listed means the employer appears on E-Verify's public employer list as of 6 November 2026, matched by company name. It does not mean the role qualifies for STEM OPT: your degree must be on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List, employers choose which hiring sites use E-Verify, and the employer must sign your training plan. Confirm with the employer and your school's DSO before you accept.

  • STEM OPT is a 24-month extension of post-completion OPT for F-1 students whose degree is on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List.
  • The job has to be with an employer that is enrolled in and using E-Verify, and the employer has to sign a training plan with you on Form I-983, which your DSO reviews.
  • The rules also ask for paid work of at least 20 hours a week, a real employer and employee relationship, and pay and duties comparable to similar US workers at that employer. The official pages below have the full list.
  • OPT and STEM OPT are work authorization of their own, so the employer does not sponsor you to hire you on them. Sponsorship only matters later, for an H-1B, which is why each role shows the employer's USCIS H-1B record.

What E-Verify listed means here. E-Verify listed means the employer appears on E-Verify's public employer list as of 6 November 2026, matched by company name. It does not mean the role qualifies for STEM OPT: your degree must be on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List, employers choose which hiring sites use E-Verify, and the employer must sign your training plan. Confirm with the employer and your school's DSO before you accept.

The entry-level data scientist roles from the data scientist jobs for OPT students list whose employer we matched to E-Verify's public list, in the same order: postings that say they sponsor first, then employers with the most new H-1B workers, then the rest; postings that say they will not sponsor are last.

Entry level is the level the employer states, or junior and graduate title words when none is stated. Only roles at employers matched by name to E-Verify's public list are here; the rest are on the OPT list. H-1B counts are employer-wide, for every occupation (USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub, as of 2026-09-30). Live roles as of 14 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.

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. E-Verify enrolment comes from E-Verify's public employer list (as of 6 November 2026), matched by company name; no match means no data, not that an employer is not enrolled. H-1B counts come from the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub (data as of 2026-09-30), matched by company name. Reposting sites are left out. Nothing is estimated.
