Cepheid
Cepheid made 30 filings covering 30 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $131,664 a year. 30 of those 30 state a minimum and no maximum, which is what an employer is required to file — it is the floor it is bound to, not a salary offered.
Green-card sponsorship
Cepheid filed 35 permanent labour certifications between 2025-11-06 and 2026-06-28, of which 35 were certified. That is the step an employment-based green card starts with, so this employer does sponsor them.

A wage is shown against the prevailing wage for the library year the filing itself cites, not the year current today — measured against the wrong year, a correctly-filed wage reads as underpaid.
