Median published pay

Pay by stated level

A median across mixed seniority describes nobody, so it is split here. Only levels the employer stated in the job title are counted.
LevelMedian midpointPostings
senior$261k25
staff / principal / lead$180k5
director and above$295k10

39 of 83 postings (47%) state no level at all. Those are not counted as mid-level - the employer simply did not say.
