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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a ML Engineer
Frame your ML credentials for specialty occupation
Your offer letter and degree must establish that the ML Engineer role requires a specific technical field of study. A bachelor's in computer science or statistics works; a general business degree usually doesn't, even with years of ML experience.
Search LCA filings to find H-1B1-ready employers
Use Migrate Mate to filter job listings by employers with verified H-1B1 Singapore LCA filing history, so you're targeting companies that have already completed the DOL process for Singaporean nationals in technical roles.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your ML Engineer role in their location. Run the OFLC Wage Search before your offer conversation so you know the wage floor and can negotiate from an informed position.
Confirm your employer's E-Verify enrollment early
E-Verify participation isn't required for all H-1B1 visa employers, but many ML-heavy companies are already enrolled due to federal contracting obligations. Confirming enrollment before accepting an offer prevents delays if your employer needs to register first.
Use O*NET to document specialty occupation alignment
ML Engineer maps to specific SOC codes in O*NET that list degree requirements in a directly related field. Sharing the O*NET occupation profile with your employer's HR team speeds up LCA preparation and reduces back-and-forth on job description language.
Time your consulate appointment around LCA certification
DOL certifies the LCA in about seven business days. Schedule your U.S. consulate appointment in Singapore only after certification is confirmed, since you must present the certified LCA at the interview to proceed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an ML Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes. ML Engineer roles consistently qualify because they require a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related technical field, such as computer science, mathematics, or statistics. The DOL Labor Condition Application and your offer letter together establish that connection. Generic titles like 'data analyst' require more documentation, but ML Engineer with a technical degree is a strong fit for the specialty occupation standard.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa differ from the H-1B for ML Engineers?
The H-1B1 Singapore visa skips the H-1B lottery entirely and has a separate 5,400-visa annual cap that has never been exhausted. Your employer still files a Labor Condition Application with DOL, but there's no USCIS petition. You apply directly at the U.S. consulate in Singapore. The trade-off is that H-1B visa1 doesn't carry dual intent, so you'll need to demonstrate nonimmigrant intent at each renewal.
How do I find ML Engineer employers who will sponsor the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Use Migrate Mate to search for ML Engineer roles filtered by employers with verified H-1B1 Singapore LCA filing history. That data comes from DOL disclosure records, so you're identifying companies that have already completed the filing process for Singaporean nationals, not just ones that claim to sponsor visas in job descriptions.
Can I switch ML Engineer employers after arriving on an H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, but each new employer must file a fresh Labor Condition Application with DOL before you begin working for them. Unlike H-1B portability under AC21, H-1B1 visa doesn't allow you to start work with a new employer while the application is pending. Plan the transition so your new employer's LCA is certified and your updated visa is in hand before you leave your current role.
What happens to my H-1B1 Singapore status if my ML Engineer role is reclassified or my project scope changes significantly?
If your employer materially changes your job duties to the point that the role no longer matches the certified Labor Condition Application, they need to file an amended LCA. This matters for ML Engineers who shift from research roles into product management or general software engineering. Document the technical nature of your work continuously, and flag significant title or duty changes to your employer's HR team so the LCA stays current.
