Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~61% per draw at Level IV). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry
$15,131 more — $165,131 — moves this role to Level II and 2 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 $165,131 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
- This is not a classic "train a model and deploy it" role-this is agentic decisioning + evaluation + safety in a low-latency AdTech environment.
Responsibilities
- Build bidder-adjacent agentic workflows that recommend/execute campaign control actions (targeting constraints, budget & pacing levers, bid modifiers, supply/inventory selection, creative routing).
- Implement production-grade RAG: retrieval from policies/playbooks, campaign history, aggregates, and near-real-time telemetry
- optimize grounding and reduce hallucinations.
- Create safe tool/action interfaces: idempotent execution, audit logs, dry-run + approval gates, rate limits, rollback/fallback behaviors.
- Own AgentOps: eval harnesses, regression suites, online experimentation (A/B), metrics tied to outcomes (CPA/ROAS, pacing, quality, margin).
- Partner with Backend/Bidding, Data Platform, DS/Optimization, Product, and SRE to define the boundary between deterministic per-request bidding and agent-driven control-plane decisions.
- 5+ years building production backend and/or applied AI systems (design → ship → operate ).
- Experience building evals and monitoring for AI systems (offline benchmarks + online experiments).
- Implement production-grade RAG: retrieval from policies/playbooks, campaign history, aggregates, and near-real-time telemetry; optimize grounding and reduce hallucinations.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with LLMs and agentic patterns (tool use, structured outputs, multi-step loops).
Nice to have
- Programmatic advertising (DSP/SSP/RTB) or other high-scale real-time decisioning domains.
- Experience with safety/policy enforcement for agent tools (prompt/tool sanitization, allowlists, schema validation).
- Experience designing "AI control plane" systems that influence production outcomes while keeping serving paths stable.
- Familiarity with experimentation platforms, feature stores, and large-scale telemetry pipelines.
- Cloud + distributed systems fundamentals (APIs, microservices, streaming/ eventing
