It's a Boeing safety pilot position.
Here are job descriptions on linkedin for current Boeing safety pilots:
"Assigned Accident investigation duties that involves NTSB participation. Duties require visits with airlines around the world to consult with their operations departments to enhance their air operations. Recently, completed ratings on the MD-11 and Boeing 787."
and
"I'm very proud to continue my career as Safety Professional and pilot with Boeing Commercial Aircraft.
My primary duties include Accident Investigation representing Boeing. I participate by working closely with NTSB, airlines, unions, manufatures and government agencies from around the world under ICAO Annex 13 rules.
Other duties include the Flight Operation Support Program. The FOSP offer valuable service in connecting the life cycle of the Boeing customer. While on FOSP visits, we fly with our customers, offer a Safety Symposium and out-brief with airline management on observations. Industry best practices are shared with flight crews and airlines around the world.
I also represent Boeing around the world attending and presenting at aviation conferences and symposiums.
Qualifications include, Captain on the B717 and B737NG and maintaining currency on RNAV RNP, Cat II/III, ETOPS and B737 HUD operations."
No idea on the pay and QOL, but I'm sure it's competitive. To me, it sounds more like a ground job than a flying job. It all depends on what you are interested in.

I worked for Boeing for a short period last year. I was not a production pilot, or in a flying position of any kind. I worked at the 787 factory at a desk.
Boeing is a great company to be an employee of. Fantastic benefits. Premium on health and dental insurance is 0. Yep, no premium for either. 401k with automatic company contributions regardless of whether or not you contribute; and if you do contribute to it, there's matching contributions on top of the aforementioned automatic ones.
Boeing employees receive 10 days of annual vacation, which doesn't sound like much up front, but in addition to those 10, you also get the major Federal 3-day weekends, Thanksgiving & the Fri after, plus the entire week from Xmas through New Years. So you don't have to compete for Xmas and can use your 10 days whenever you want.
Razzor's statement of $145K sounds a bit high to me. There are three pay scales at Boeing, and production pilots are on the non-executive white collar scale of 1 to 6. I was a 3 which equals $65,000. Production pilots jobs are advertised as 4's so I estimate that's about $90 per year. I don't think the difference between 3 and 4 is a pay jump from $65K to $145K.
There's a job on the Boeing career page for a production pilot right now:
