The T&S Network estimates this role to be P4, Staff. The typical base salary for that level in Safety Engineering & Data Science is $190k to $240k at an employer this size in the San Francisco Bay Area. 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 posting states the level in its title · the title reads as P4 · asks for 8+ years · posts $220k to $320k base at a company under 500 in the San Francisco Bay Area.
