The T&S Network estimates this role to be P2, Professional. The typical base salary for that level in Safety Engineering & Data Science is $120k to $180k at an employer this size for a remote role. Key skills at this level: builds and ships detection or enforcement systems in production, evaluates a classifier on the metric that matches the harm, not on accuracy, and works with labeled data of uneven and adversarial quality.
Why this level
Estimated from the posting rather than stated by the employer: asks for 2+ years · posts $151k to $175k base at a company over 5,000 for a remote role · the title reads as P2.
