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 | $205k | 19 |
| staff / principal / lead | $275k | 14 |
30 of 63 postings (48%) state no level at all. Those are not counted as mid-level - the employer simply did not say.
