Methodology

Figures are computed from currently active job listings scanned directly from company career pages. Only roles with a disclosed annual USD salary are included; hourly rates and non-USD currencies are excluded to keep medians comparable. Percentiles are calculated over the lower bound of each disclosed range, which makes the medians conservative. Data refreshes continuously as companies are rescanned — last computed July 28, 2026.
