The candidate will work closely with the Lead Engineer, SRE teams, Platform team, Data Ingestion team, Platform DevOps team, Visualization team, and other portfolio teams.
As part of the AIOps Platform team, you will design and build intelligent systems that improve observability, incident response, and operational efficiency. This includes developing machine learning models for forecasting, anomaly prediction, alert classification, event intelligence, and causal analysis, as well as building AI agents and multi-agent workflows for RCA summarization, investigative assistance, and SRE productivity use cases.
This position will be based out of Phoenix, Arizona or Pleasanton CA.
Main responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and productionize AI/ML capabilities for the AIOps platform to support intelligent observability and operational decision-making.
- Build machine learning systems for time-series forecasting, anomaly prediction, incident prediction, alert classification, noise reduction, and event correlation.
- Develop causal ML and statistical inference solutions to identify likely root causes, dependency impacts, and relationships across systems and services.
- Create and fine-tune models for incident intelligence use cases such as forecasting service degradation, capacity risk prediction, alert prioritization, and anomaly explanation.
- Design feature pipelines and model training workflows using telemetry, log, metric, trace, topology, and incident data.
- Build intelligent RCA summarization capabilities using LLMs and agentic frameworks such as LangChain and LangGraph.
- Develop AI agents and multi-agent systems for use cases such as Multi-Agent RCA, SRE Assistant, remediation guidance, incident triage, and operational knowledge retrieval.
- Design prompt orchestration, reasoning workflows, retrieval pipelines, tool usage patterns, and memory/context handling for AI agents.
- Integrate AI/ML services with observability platforms, event systems, knowledge bases, CMDB, incident management tools, and automation platforms.
- Collaborate with platform and engineering teams to build scalable model-serving and agent-serving architectures.
- Define and implement evaluation frameworks for model quality, agent effectiveness, hallucination reduction, relevance, and operational usefulness.
- Ensure AI/ML systems are scalable, reliable, explainable, and aligned with enterprise security, governance, and responsible AI practices.
- Build and maintain APIs and microservices for model inference, online scoring, batch predictions, and agent orchestration.
- Partner with SREs, observability engineers, and product stakeholders to translate operational pain points into ML and AI-driven solutions.
- Continuously improve model performance, feature quality, inference latency, agent reliability, and business impact through experimentation and monitoring.
- Establish engineering best practices for ML development, prompt engineering, evaluation, model deployment, testing, versioning, and documentation.

Search Machine Learning Jobs in ArizonaMachine Learning Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for machine learning roles in Arizona?
Intel, Honeywell, and Microchip Technology are among the most consistent H-1B sponsors for machine learning roles in Arizona, particularly in the Phoenix metro area. Health-tech companies like Banner Health and Dignity Health have also filed sponsorships for AI and ML positions. Scottsdale-based fintech firms and several semiconductor startups in the Chandler and Tempe corridors round out the sponsoring employer base.
Which visa types are most common for machine learning roles in Arizona?
The H-1B is the most common visa category for machine learning engineers and researchers in Arizona, as ML roles consistently meet the specialty occupation standard requiring a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, data science, or a related field. Candidates with extraordinary ability may qualify for the O-1A. Graduates from Arizona universities often begin on OPT or STEM OPT before transitioning to H-1B sponsorship.
Which cities in Arizona have the most machine learning sponsorship jobs?
Phoenix and its immediate suburbs account for the majority of machine learning visa sponsorship activity in Arizona. Chandler is a significant hub due to Intel's large semiconductor campus. Tempe benefits from its proximity to Arizona State University and attracts mid-stage tech companies. Scottsdale draws fintech and health-tech employers with ML teams. Tucson has a smaller but active market tied to University of Arizona research partnerships.
How to find machine learning visa sponsorship jobs in Arizona?
Migrate Mate lets you filter machine learning jobs specifically by visa sponsorship availability and state, making it straightforward to identify Arizona employers actively hiring international candidates. Because sponsorship willingness varies widely even within the same industry, filtering to confirmed sponsors saves significant time. Migrate Mate's listings cover roles across Phoenix, Chandler, Tempe, and Scottsdale, where Arizona's ML hiring is most concentrated.
Are there any Arizona-specific considerations for machine learning job seekers seeking sponsorship?
Arizona's growing semiconductor and aerospace sectors create ML demand that differs from pure software markets, meaning candidates with hardware-adjacent ML skills, such as edge inference or sensor data modeling, may find stronger fit here than in coastal tech hubs. Arizona State University's partnerships with Intel and local industry also produce a well-connected alumni network. Prevailing wage requirements for H-1B petitions still apply and are set by the Department of Labor based on the specific role and location.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored machine learning jobs in Arizona?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
