Domo's AI and Data Products Platform lets people channel AI and data into innovative uses that deliver a measurable impact. Anyone can use Domo to prepare, analyze, visualize, automate, and build data products that are amplified by AI.
Position Summary
We are seeking a highly technical, customer-facing AI Consultant to help redefine how enterprise software is built and delivered. In this role, you will design and deploy enterprise-grade applications and intelligent agent workflows directly on Domo’s platform—replacing traditional SaaS products with custom-built, real-time solutions.
This is not a traditional engineering or consulting role. You will work side-by-side with customers, building live solutions using AI-assisted development tools, demonstrating value in real time, and owning the full lifecycle from discovery through deployment and impact measurement. Success in this role requires a unique blend of software engineering expertise, customer engagement skills, and the ability to leverage AI to dramatically accelerate development.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Build and deploy enterprise-grade applications using Domo’s Pro Code Editor, React, and JavaScript;
- Lead end-to-end customer engagements, including discovery, solution design, live demos, sprint delivery, and impact measurement;
- Develop and implement agentic workflows, including orchestration agents, automations, and human-in-the-loop systems;
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate build speed and enhance solution quality;
- Conduct live builds and demonstrations for customers, including executive stakeholders and conference audiences;
- Translate complex business problems into scalable, data-driven application solutions;
- Collaborate with customers to replace legacy SaaS tools with custom-built applications on the Domo platform;
- Contribute to internal best practices by developing reusable app patterns, agent templates, and delivery frameworks;
- Continuously iterate and ship solutions on a rapid cadence (weekly or faster);
- Partner cross-functionally with product, engineering, and go-to-market teams to refine and scale the offering.
Job Requirements
- Strong proficiency in React and/or JavaScript with the ability to build polished, interactive web applications;
- Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools as a core part of the development workflow (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot);
- Proven ability to work directly with customers, including running discovery sessions and presenting to technical and non-technical stakeholders;
- Solid understanding of enterprise software architecture, including APIs, security, role-based access control, and data governance;
- Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with minimal direction;
- Strong problem-solving skills with a bias toward action and rapid execution.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with the Domo platform, including Pro Code Editor, datasets, connectors, and cards;
- Hands-on experience building or deploying agentic AI systems (e.g., orchestration agents, autonomous workflows);
- Familiarity with agent frameworks such as OpenClaw or similar technologies;
- Background in solutions consulting, solutions engineering, or technical account management;
- Experience delivering live demos, presentations, or conference talks.

How to Get Visa Sponsorship as an AI Consultant
Lead with your STEM OPT extension
When reaching out to employers, mention upfront that your degree qualifies for the 24-month STEM extension. This gives employers a three-year runway before H-1B sponsorship is required, which removes a major objection before it surfaces.
Target consulting firms with established OPT pipelines
Large consulting firms that already employ international staff have immigration counsel on retainer and streamlined sponsorship processes. Firms with existing OPT hires understand the timeline and are far less likely to treat your status as a dealbreaker.
Align your degree field with the role description
AI Consultant roles require a clear connection between your academic background and the position. A degree in computer science, machine learning, or data science strengthens your specialty occupation case. Highlight relevant coursework and projects that map directly to the job.
Raise sponsorship before the offer stage
Waiting until you have an offer to discuss work authorization wastes everyone's time. Bring it up after a strong first or second interview, framing it as a logistics question rather than a burden. Prepared employers appreciate transparency early.
Document your AI project portfolio
AI Consultant roles often require demonstrating applied expertise beyond academic credentials. Maintain a portfolio of deployed models, client-facing projects, or published work. Concrete deliverables help employers justify sponsorship internally to legal and HR teams.
Understand your OPT start date and employer reporting obligations
OPT employment must be reported to your DSO within 10 days of starting. Ensure your offer letter specifies a start date that aligns with your EAD validity. Gaps or unreported changes can jeopardize your status and complicate future H-1B filings.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does an AI Consultant role qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension?
Yes, in most cases. AI Consultant positions typically fall under CIP codes in computer science, data science, or information technology, all of which appear on the STEM Designated Degree Program List. Your employer must also be enrolled in E-Verify, which most established consulting firms already are. Confirm your specific degree CIP code with your DSO before applying for the extension.
How do I find AI Consultant jobs where employers are open to OPT sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for F-1 OPT students and filters employers by sponsorship history, so you are not wasting applications on companies that will not hire international candidates. Searching there surfaces AI Consultant roles at firms with a demonstrated track record of filing H-1B petitions, which is a strong proxy for OPT-friendliness.
Can I work as an independent AI Consultant on OPT?
Self-employment is not permitted on standard OPT. Your work authorization requires a qualifying employer-employee relationship, meaning you need a formal employer who controls the terms of your work. Independent contracting or freelancing arrangements do not satisfy this requirement and could put your immigration status at risk.
What happens to my OPT status if my AI Consultant contract ends before my EAD expires?
OPT allows up to 90 days of unemployment on standard OPT and up to 150 days on the STEM extension, cumulative across the entire post-completion period. If your contract ends, you have that window to secure a new qualifying position. Staying beyond those limits jeopardizes your status, so tracking your unemployment days from day one is critical.
Do AI Consultant roles at staffing agencies or consulting firms count as qualifying OPT employment?
Yes, provided the work is directly related to your degree field. Third-party placement arrangements are permitted on OPT as long as there is a clear employer of record who controls your work and is E-Verify enrolled for STEM extension purposes. The practical connection between the AI consulting work and your academic background must be documentable for your DSO records.
