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.

|---|---|---|
| senior | $248k | 7 |
| staff / principal / lead | $293k | 10 |
14 of 31 postings (45%) state no level at all. Those are not counted as mid-level - the employer simply did not say.
