$32,874 more — $221,374 — moves this role to Level III and 3 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.
Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $221,374 would place this position at wage Level III. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation
Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 22 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.
Green-card follow-through: 82%
Of 22 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 4 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 502 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.
Files H-1B transfers
27 transfer filings in the last year, covering 27 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role
- We want senior engineers who have already shipped agents that real people rely on, and who are ready to do it again at higher stakes.
- Engineer agents for autonomy with reliability, including tool and orchestration flows, context management, caching, retries, and failure handling.
- Apply solid software engineering practices to AI systems, treating prompts, skills, configs, and specs as versioned artifacts, with code review, tests, CI or CD, and staged rollouts.
Responsibilities
- Lead product discovery alongside Product Managers and domain experts to understand real workflows, map them out, and define clear problems, baselines, and success criteria as the foundation for building agentic solutions.
- Design, build, test, and deploy production agents, automations, and internal tools using coding agents, LLM APIs, and agent frameworks, integrated with Rubrik's internal agent platform and business systems.
- Leverage full-stack engineering across backend services, APIs, data models, interactive screens, approval UIs, and chat interfaces as the complete medium to deliver high-ownership, user-facing agent systems.
- Implement evaluation, guardrails, and quality control: derive evals from workflow data, establish quality gates and guardrails, integrate human-in-the-loop approvals where needed, and monitor production runs to refine agents over time.
- Around 7 or more years of professional software engineering experience in production systems, and around 2 or more years of professional, hands-on experience building AI agents and agent powered production applications with measurable outcomes.
- Strong full stack engineering background, with a track record of designing, building, and owning services end to end, including backend APIs and integrations, data models, and user facing interfaces such as approval UIs, dashboards, or chat surfaces.
- System design: break down complex problems, design APIs and data models, reason about latency, throughput, and failure modes, and choose simple, robust architectures.
Nice to have
- Agent frameworks and runtimes: Google ADK, LangGraph, OpenAI style, cloud or container platforms.
- Backend: Python, FastAPI or similar stacks.
- Tools integration: MCP, Slack or Teams bots, REST APIs, webhooks.
- Data systems: Snowflake, Salesforce, graph stores.
- UX: conversational flows, chat surfaces, guided forms, simple dashboards for agent output.
