the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry
The bottom of this range ($90,000) is below the Level I prevailing wage of $95,888. An H-1B cannot be filed below the prevailing wage, so an offer at the floor of this band could not be sponsored as posted.
Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $119,642 would place this position at wage Level II. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

About the role
- You will bridge the gap between model development and production, contributing to model tuning while taking ownership of the scalable systems that bring these models to life.
- Experience setting up monitoring and alerting for both data pipelines and deployed models.
Responsibilities
- You will work heavily with PySpark to process large-scale time-series and operational data, prepare training datasets, and manage the full model deployment lifecycle.
- Build PySpark workflows that ingest, clean, and transform high-volume manufacturing data, converting raw signals into structured datasets ready for training and inference.
- Design and maintain end-to-end ML pipelines that automate feature calculation, model training, validation, and deployment, ensuring each run is reproducible and auditable.
- Manage the model lifecycle in production: track versions, store artifacts securely, trigger automated retraining, and execute rollback procedures when performance degrades.
- Optimize Spark jobs by tuning partition strategies, managing executor memory, minimizing shuffle operations, and handling skewed joins to reduce runtime and cluster resource usage.
