Home Depot is increasingly using AI and machine learning to optimize the flow of freight to ensure items are in-stock where they are most needed.Scott Olson/Getty ImagesHome Depot is hiring hundreds of tech workers as the retailer goes digital in its stores and supply chain.For example, a software engineer can make a base salary of nearly $234,000, per filings.Work visa data shows what the company pays for roles in software development and operations research.For a business that sells a lot of lumber, paint, and other building supplies, Home Depot is increasingly focused on tech.In addition to being the largest home improvement chain in the world, the orange-aproned retailer relies on a large and growing tech workforce to power its effort to put more digital tools in the hands of employees and its DIY and pro customers.The company is also increasingly using AI and machine learning to optimize the flow of freight to ensure items are stocked where they are most needed.Home Depot's EVP for US stores, Ann-Marie Campbell, said in an August earnings call that the investments in tech are helping improve the in-store shopping experience, increase delivery speed and accuracy, and simplify projects for contractors.Company filings with the US Department of Labor show Home Depot sought to hire 292 workers through the US H-1B visa program in the first three quarters of this reporting year, largely in software development and operations research. That number is similar to the same period the year before and up from about 215 from two years ago.By comparison, rival Lowe's sought to hire 258 workers from the H-1B program during the same period this year.

This publicly available work visa data — which companies are required to disclose — only refers to foreign hires and doesn't include equity or other benefits that employees may receive in addition to their base pay. Home Depot said in a statement that it also offers employees performance-based bonuses, stock purchase opportunities, benefits, and training and development programs.Still, the reported pay rates are benchmarked against industry averages for US workers. That can shed light not just on how much employees earn in certain roles, but where a company is looking to grow.Home Depot employs more than 470,000 workers. It listed roughly 20,000 open jobs on its careers website as of August 26, with about 2,200 openings for corporate roles.In the H-1B data, most of the positions are based near the company's Atlanta headquarters, with additional roles in several other states.Here's a deeper look at some of the jobs:IT project managers can earn $183,000Product Manager: $97,850 to $117,604Senior Product Manager: $139,050 to $147,490Product Management Manager: $153,000 to $183,000Data scientists can earn more than $216,000Associate Data Scientist: $96,176 to $110,000Data Scientist: $108,000 to $140,000Lead Data Scientist: $165,000 to $212,180Data Science Senior Manager: $165,900 to $216,000Operations research analysts can nearly $155,000Inventory Planning Analyst: $70,000Supply Chain Data Analyst: $73,000 to $82,000Supply Chain Senior Data Analyst: $90,000 to $100,783Online Senior Decision Analyst: $108,017 to $117,500Online Manager Decision Analytics: $130,000 to $154,577Software engineers can earn as much as $234,000Senior Software Engineer: $127,308 to $160,000Staff Software Engineer: $139,315 to $185,965Principal Software Engineer: $180,250 to $197,219Senior Principal Software Engineer: $210,000 to $234,000Director-level roles can top $250,000Director, Online Merchandise: $190,000Director Online Analytics & Business Intelligence: $206,000Technology Director: $235,000 to $255,000Read the original article on Business Insider
