SUMMARY
Would you like to contribute to Machine Learning and Generative AI technologies? Are you passionate about the integrity of the data that powers AI systems at scale? Do you believe that trustworthy data is the foundation of every great model? We truly believe it is! We are defining what exceptional data quality looks like for machine learning across Wallet, Payments, and Commerce. As a Machine Learning Engineer, AI/ML Model Quality, you will build and maintain intelligent systems, validation frameworks, synthetic data generation models and monitoring pipelines that keep our data ecosystem healthy — ensuring that every model we build is trained, evaluated, and deployed on data we can trust. Your work sits at the foundation of every ML feature that reaches hundreds of millions of users. You'll work at the intersection of machine learning, statistical rigor and production systems, collaborating closely with Data Engineering, Privacy, and Legal teams. This unique opportunity puts you at the center of ML and AI quality — owning the health of training and validation datasets, defining and analyzing observability metrics, building models to calibrate & measure robustness, and leading telemetry analysis across GenAI workflows — ensuring Apple's financial features are built on the highest-quality data, whether powering conventional ML models or the latest generative AI systems.
DESCRIPTION
The ideal candidate is detail-obsessed who understands that model quality starts long before training — it starts with the data. You have strong statistical instincts, know how silent degradation and data drift manifest in production systems, and can translate raw quality signals into insights that drive real decisions. You will own the health of the data ecosystem that underpins ML and GenAI features across Wallet, Payments, and Commerce — building validation frameworks, defining observability metrics, and leading telemetry analysis that keeps every model trained, evaluated, and monitored on data teams can trust. Your work sits at the foundation of every ML feature that reaches hundreds of millions of users.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- A Bachelor's degree with exceptional hands-on experience in ML/AI model quality or applied research or a M.S or Ph.D in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field is strongly preferred.
- 3+ years of experience in defining and tracking ML model health metrics in production — model performance monitoring, feature drift detection, and observability instrumentation.
- 3+ years of experience in Machine Learning, data science or a closely related analytical role, with a strong focus on data quality, model evaluation, or ML observability in production environments.
- Proficiency in Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn), common ML frameworks like PyTorch and SQL for complex data analysis, metric creation, and validation.
- Experience querying and analyzing large-scale datasets using distributed computing frameworks (e.g., PySpark, Spark, or distributed SQL).
- Solid understanding of statistical methods — hypothesis testing, distribution analysis, data drift detection, and statistical process control.
- Experience with GenAI or LLM systems, including common quality failure modes, output evaluation approaches, and telemetry instrumentation.
- Strong communication skills — ability to translate complex data quality findings and model health risks into clear, actionable insights for both engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with data visualization and dashboarding tools (e.g., Tableau, Apache Superset, Databricks) to present complex ML telemetry.
- Familiarity with LLM evaluation frameworks (e.g. LangSmith) or techniques like LLM-as-a-judge.
- Experience with Bayesian or causal graph-based approaches to synthetic data generation.
- Familiarity with confidence calibration techniques and uncertainty quantification.
- Experience with ML monitoring or observability platforms (e.g., MLflow, Weights & Biases, or equivalent).
- Experience working with privacy-constrained data or under regulatory compliance frameworks (GDPR, DMA).
- Background in financial services, fintech, or consumer payment products.
COMPENSATION
- Base pay range for this role is between $184,700 and $324,800, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.

Map your degree to SOC codes
H-1B1 visa eligibility hinges on your degree matching the specific role. Pull the O*NET profile for Machine Learning Engineers and confirm your transcript reflects the field listed. Mismatches on the LCA are a common rejection trigger.
Target employers with active LCA filings
Use Migrate Mate to filter for companies that have filed Labor Condition Applications for machine learning or data science roles. Employers already familiar with H-1B1 Singapore filings move faster and make fewer documentation errors.
Verify your offer letter specifies specialty occupation
Your offer letter must describe duties that require a directly related bachelor's degree or higher. A vague title like 'engineer' without role-specific language can stall DOL certification. Ask your employer to mirror the O*NET task descriptions.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating salary
The LCA requires your employer to pay at least the prevailing wage for your location and role. Look up the current rate using OFLC Wage Search before your offer stage so you're not renegotiating after the employer submits the LCA to DOL.
Prepare NUS or NTU transcripts for equivalency review
Singaporean three-year degree programs sometimes prompt consular officers to request an equivalency evaluation. Have your academic records ready and, if needed, a credential evaluation letter confirming your qualification meets U.S. bachelor's-level standards.
Confirm your employer is E-Verify enrolled before your start date
Unlike H-1B, the H-1B1 visa doesn't require USCIS petition approval, but your employer still needs to complete E-Verify verification once you start. Confirm enrollment before you resign your current position to avoid onboarding delays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Machine Learning Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Singapore?
Yes. Machine Learning Engineer is classified under computer and information research science occupations, which consistently meet the specialty occupation standard requiring a directly related bachelor's degree. The role's core duties, model development, algorithm design, and statistical analysis, map clearly to degrees in computer science, mathematics, or statistics. Bring documentation connecting your specific job duties to your academic field when you attend your consulate interview.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore differ from the H-1B for machine learning roles?
The H-1B1 Singapore skips the annual lottery entirely and has a dedicated cap of 5,400 visas per year that has never been exhausted. You apply directly at the U.S. consulate in Singapore rather than through a USCIS petition, which cuts months off the timeline. The trade-off is that H-1B1 doesn't support dual intent, so demonstrated immigrant intent can complicate renewals.
How do I find employers actively willing to sponsor H-1B1 Singapore for ML roles?
Search Migrate Mate for companies with Labor Condition Application filing history in machine learning and data science categories. Employers who have filed LCAs before understand the H-1B1 process and are less likely to withdraw offers due to unfamiliarity with Singapore-specific visa procedures. Prioritize companies in tech, finance, and AI research where H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship is more established.
Can I switch employers on an H-1B1 Singapore while staying in the U.S.?
Yes, but the process restarts with your new employer. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL for your new role and location, and you'll typically need to return to Singapore for a new consulate appointment rather than changing status from within the U.S. Plan for a gap between roles and confirm your new employer's timeline before resigning.
What happens if my H-1B1 Singapore approval is delayed and my start date passes?
The H-1B1 visa doesn't have a formal cap-gap provision like the H-1B, so consulate processing delays directly affect your start date. Most consulates in Singapore process H-1B1 applications within a few weeks, but administrative processing can extend this. Communicate delays to your employer immediately and confirm whether they can adjust your start date, since the LCA has a specific period of authorized employment.
