- Which company has the highest median pay for AI researchers?
- On US H-1B filings for fiscal year 2026 to Q3, ByteDance has the highest median wage for AI and machine learning research roles among employers with 10 or more filings: $330,004 a year across 62 filings.
- Where do these numbers come from?
- Certified, full-time H-1B filings with an AI job title, published by the US Department of Labor. Each figure is the median yearly base wage an employer offered, before bonus and equity. A filing shows the wage offered, not that someone was hired.
- Why are OpenAI and some other AI labs not ranked?
- A company is ranked in a role family once it has 10 filings there. OpenAI filed 9 forward deployed engineer roles in this period, so it sits in the list under that table with its count. Every employer with 5 to 9 filings is listed there too.
