Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~45% per draw at Level III). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.
Lottery odds assume a STEM candidate.

the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry
$539 more — $118,539 — 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 $118,539 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 Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers" for prevailing-wage purposes.
DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers (15-1253) · San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, 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
- You will operate at the intersection of software engineering, performance engineering, and system reliability, with strong ownership of both functional automation and performance validation.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain automated validation frameworks for APIs, distributed systems, and critical service workflows
- Develop integration and end-to-end validation suites that reflect real production use cases
- Design systems and tooling that improve testability, observability, and diagnosability
- Drive reduction of flaky or low-signal tests to ensure high signal-to-noise automation
- Design and implement load, stress, and endurance testing strategies for distributed systems
- Build and maintain performance test frameworks and workloads that model real traffic patterns
- Drive performance improvements by working directly in code, configuration, and infrastructure
- Where a culture driven by excellence helps you not only meet your goals, but also create new ones.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
- 4-6 years of experience in software engineering, SDET, or related roles
- Hands-on experience with API and distributed systems testing
- Experience with performance testing tools (e.g., k6, JMeter, Gatling)
- Familiarity with CI/CD systems and modern development workflows
Nice to have
- Experience in Production Engineering, SRE, or infrastructure-focused teams
- Familiarity with microservices and cloud-native architectures
- Experience with observability tools (e.g., metrics, logs, tracing-Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog)
- Knowledge of containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Exposure to resilience testing, chaos engineering, or fault injection
- Experience modeling production traffic patterns or capacity planning
Skills
- Analytical debugging across functional and performance issues
- Pragmatic balance between engineering rigor and delivery speed
- Systems are validated against realistic production scenarios, not just functional correctness
- Performance risks and scaling limits are identified before production exposure
- Automation provides high confidence and actionable signal, not noise
- Improved system reliability through proactive validation of edge cases and failure modes
- Strong contribution to a culture of engineering ownership of quality and performance
- Strong systems thinking: understanding how components behave under load and failure
- What Success Looks Like
Compensation
- $118,000 - $148,000 - $178,000 USD.
- A reasonable estimate of the current range for this position is: $118,000 - $148,000 - $178,000 USD.
