The T&S Network estimates this role to be M3, Manager. The typical base salary for that level in Safety Engineering & Data Science is $170k to $250k at an employer this size. Key skills at this level: owns a detection system end to end, including its drift and its retraining, designs for adversarial pressure rather than for a static distribution, and sets evaluation methodology others in the company adopt.
Why this level
Estimated from the posting rather than stated by the employer: the title reads as M3 · asks for 5+ years · posts $196k to $356k base at a company over 5,000.
