The T&S Network estimates this role to be P2, Professional. Key skills at this level: resolves situations no playbook covers, then documents the new precedent, carries an independent caseload without line-by-line review, and knows the edge of own authority and escalates on that line rather than on discomfort.
Why this level
Estimated from the posting rather than stated by the employer: asks for 5+ years · posts $170k to $220k base at a frontier lab · the title reads as P2.
The role, in T&S terms

- Hands-on experience answering government and police requests for user data firsthand.
