Senior MLOps Engineer, Forward Deployed
TEAM Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE), Predictive track, in Data Science & AI Engineering
REPORTS TO MLOps engineering lead
LEVEL Senior (6+ years)
LOCATION United States
THE ROLE IN ONE PARAGRAPH This is a hands-on MLOps engineering role. You will work across model training and refresh workflows, APIs, orchestration, data pipelines, production monitoring, and user-facing experiences such as model dashboards and training controls. When a customer needs a better model, a refresh workflow, or visibility into model health, you will help make it real: build the experience, connect it to reliable backend systems, validate the outcome, and operate it safely in production. You'll be our first MLOps engineer in the US, working closely with the MLOps team in India so customer work reaches production in days, not weeks. Most of your work is behind the scenes, with customer conversations when the technical details matter.
Build for the customer
- Productionize customer-tailored predictive models, configurations, and scoring workflows with validation, release, monitoring, and rollback paths.
- Build and improve UI workflows for training triggers, model refreshes, validation outcomes, model status, and operational troubleshooting.
- Enhance model dashboards that make model health, score changes, data quality, refresh status, and production issues understandable to internal users and customers.
- Build or modify the APIs, backend services, data contracts, and orchestration workflows behind those experiences.
- Automate model retraining, validation, promotion, and deployment workflows for customer engagements.
- Create safeguards for data quality, score distributions, threshold changes, and edge cases before model changes reach production.
- Monitor models and services for drift, data shifts, reliability issues, and operational regressions.
Productize for everyone
- Turn repeatable customer solutions into reusable product and platform capabilities with Product, Data Science, and Platform Engineering.
- Build deployment templates, reusable workflow components, and configuration-driven interfaces that support many customers without one-off operational work.
- Create self-service or assisted tools for teams to initiate training, monitor refreshes, review validation results, and troubleshoot model issues safely.
- Improve the MLOps platform where needed, including Kubernetes workloads, compute, pipelines, CI/CD, deployment tooling, and observability.
- Establish clear runbooks, release checklists, audit trails, and support processes for model operations.
- Identify recurring customer pain points and convert them into product requirements, platform improvements, or durable operational tooling.
What You'll Bring
- 6+ years of experience in MLOps, ML platform engineering, backend engineering, full-stack engineering, or related production engineering roles.
- Experience owning machine-learning systems in production, including training, deployment, monitoring, retraining, and incident response.
- Strong Python and SQL skills, including APIs, backend services, asynchronous workflows, testing, CI/CD, and observability.
- Experience building or materially contributing to internal tools, operational dashboards, or customer-facing product workflows.
- Comfortable debugging across the stack: UI, APIs, workflows, data pipelines, model artifacts, and production infrastructure.
- Experience releasing changes safely across multiple customers or production environments, including staged rollout, impact checks, and rollback.
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure.
- Strong communication and judgment when balancing customer urgency, usability, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
- Nice to have: Fast API and Frontend experience.
- Airflow, Spark, MLflow, model registries, feature pipelines, or workflow orchestration.
- AWS, S3, Hive, distributed compute, and multi-tenant SaaS experience.
- Forward-deployed, consulting, solutions, implementation, or customer-facing engineering experience.
- B2B SaaS, go-to-market data, or predictive modeling experience.
What Success Looks Like
Within 3 months
- Understand the predictive-model lifecycle and improve at least one meaningful deployment, support, or visibility bottleneck.
- Bring clear release, monitoring, and support plans to active customer model engagements.
Within 6 months
- Common training, refresh, validation, and deployment workflows are materially more automated.
- Model dashboards or internal workflows provide clear visibility into model status, health, and refresh progress.
- Customer model changes move to production faster, with stronger operational controls.
Within 12 months
- At least one customer-specific solution has become a reusable product or platform capability.
- The team can reliably deliver and operate customer-tailored models without fragile manual processes or overnight handoffs.
Why this role is different: You won’t only maintain ML infrastructure. You’ll build the product experiences and production systems that make predictive models easier to launch, understand, refresh, and trust—then turn what works for one customer into something that benefits many.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Mlops Engineer
Frame your ML stack as specialty occupation evidence
When updating your resume, spell out the specific tools you deploy, Kubeflow, MLflow, Seldon, Terraform, not just 'ML infrastructure.' USCIS evaluates specialty occupation partly through the complexity of duties, and named production tooling makes that case concretely.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to find companies that have already filed LCAs for MLOps or ML Engineering roles. Prior filings signal an established immigration process, which cuts your time-to-offer and reduces the risk of an employer backing out at the petition stage.
Check prevailing wage tiers before accepting an offer
Run your target city and job title through the OFLC Wage Search before salary negotiations. LCA certification requires your offered wage to meet at least Level 1, and many MLOps roles benchmark closer to Level 3 or 4 in high-cost markets.
Verify your degree field maps to the role description
A computer science or electrical engineering degree maps cleanly to MLOps. Data science or applied math degrees can work, but your employer's LCA job description must explicitly connect the role duties to your specific field, gaps here trigger USCIS Requests for Evidence.
Get the job description audited before the LCA is filed
MLOps duties overlap with DevOps and SRE, which USCIS treats differently. Ask your employer to review the job description with their immigration counsel before filing so it emphasizes ML pipeline design, model deployment, and monitoring, not generic infrastructure management.
Plan your H-1B cap timeline around your OPT end date
H-1B is subject to an annual cap and selection process, and the rules have changed recently. If you're on OPT or STEM OPT, map your authorization end date against the next registration window so you're not caught between expiring status and a pending petition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an MLOps Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B?
Yes. MLOps Engineering requires at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field, which satisfies USCIS's specialty occupation definition. The role's core duties, designing ML pipelines, managing model deployment infrastructure, and integrating CI/CD for ML systems, are sufficiently complex and specialized to support an H-1B petition.
Which visa types can sponsoring employers use for an MLOps Engineer?
H-1B is the primary work visa for MLOps Engineers. Australian nationals can use the E-3 visa, and Chilean or Singaporean nationals may qualify under H-1B1 visa, both also require a specialty occupation. Canadian and Mexican nationals with a qualifying engineering or computer science degree may be eligible for TN visa status under the engineer category. For permanent roles, EB-2 or EB-3 employment-based green cards are common pathways.
Where can I find employers actively sponsoring MLOps Engineer visas?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified LCA sponsorship history for MLOps and ML Engineering roles, searchable by city and role type. Because every listing is drawn from DOL-filed LCA data, you're seeing companies that have already committed to sponsoring this exact occupation, not just companies that might consider it.
Does a data science or applied math degree support an H-1B for an MLOps role?
It can, but the employer's LCA job description must clearly tie the role's duties to your specific degree field. A data science degree is a stronger fit when the job description emphasizes statistical modeling and ML experimentation. Applied math alone is a weaker fit unless the description explicitly requires mathematical optimization or probabilistic systems design. USCIS will scrutinize any degree-to-role mismatch.
Can an MLOps Engineer change employers while on H-1B?
Yes. Under H-1B portability, you can start working for a new employer as soon as the new I-129 petition is filed with USCIS, there's no waiting period. The new employer must file a fresh LCA at the prevailing wage for your work location and submit the I-129 before your start date. Your prior approval record and specialty occupation documentation carry over in support of the new petition.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Mlops Engineer jobs?
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.
