H-1B wage level

the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry

Level III · 3×
Level I$137,0931 entry
Level II$165,1312 entries

Level IV$221,1874 entries

$24,187 more — $221,187 — moves this role to Level IV and 4 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 $221,187 would place this position at wage Level IV. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Software Developers (15-1252) · San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA. Wage level is derived by USCIS from the offered wage, occupation and worksite; the occupation shown is inferred from the job title.

About the role

  • This includes configuration-driven ingestion frameworks, secure connectivity to source systems, reusable data protection libraries for anonymization and tokenization, and the infrastructure-as-code foundation that brings these capabilities together.
  • This is a framework and platform engineering role, not a pipeline-delivery role.
  • Success means enabling teams to onboard new data sources, protect sensitive information, and promote work to production through configuration rather than custom code.

Responsibilities

  • Build scalable platform frameworks: Lead the design and implementation of reusable, versioned libraries that support policy-driven data protection, including configurable rules, governed access, consistent outputs, secure-by-default failure behavior, and audit trails.
  • Maintain backward compatibility across shared capabilities used by multiple teams
  • Drive platform reliability and observability: Establish monitoring, alerting, reconciliation, recovery, and data validation capabilities that ensure reliable operations from source to destination.
  • Lead evidence-based technology decisions: Conduct structured proofs of concept with measurable success criteria, document architectural decisions and tradeoffs, and engage technology vendors to resolve product gaps and influence future capabilities
  • Drive cross-functional platform delivery: Translate ambiguous technical challenges into clear requirements, interfaces, dependencies, and phased delivery plans.
  • Partner with Data Engineering, Data Governance, Information Security, DBAs, and source-system owners to deliver early solutions while building scalable long-term capabilities and driving framework adoption
  • Raise engineering standards: Mentor senior and staff engineers, lead technical design and code reviews, and establish best practices for testing, documentation, release management, and maintainability across shared platform capabilities
  • Deep experience building ingestion capabilities across diverse data sources, including relational databases, files, APIs, and custom systems, with expertise in incremental processing, change data capture (CDC), schema evolution, and protecting production source systems from excessive load
  • Advanced programming skills in Python, SQL, and a JVM language such as Scala or Java, with experience developing Spark UDFs and reusable libraries using strong testing, packaging, and versioning practices

Requirements

  • 10+ years of software or data platform engineering experience, including designing and delivering platform-level frameworks, libraries, or infrastructure used across multiple engineering teams
  • Strong experience with infrastructure as code, including Terraform and CI/CD pipelines for data platforms
  • Deep hands-on expertise with Databricks, including Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Auto Loader, workflows, compute configuration, and governance capabilities, or equivalent data platform experience
  • Strong knowledge of security and privacy engineering for sensitive data, including encryption, key management, tokenization or format-preserving techniques, role-based access controls, and audit logging
  • Experience designing and operating large-scale data systems processing billions of rows, including performance testing, cost optimization, monitoring, and recovery strategies
  • You have deep experience applying AI tools to complex engineering work, including architecture exploration, development, testing, and problem-solving.

Nice to have

  • Experience with data quality, lineage, catalog tooling, and data contract approaches
  • Experience with Databricks Asset Bundles or equivalent deployment tooling
  • Experience in banking, lending, or another regulated environment with model risk management, SOX, or similar audit requirements
  • Happen Bank offers relocation, based on actual job level.
  • Time Zone Requirements
  • Local hours (PT)
