?
These are the ranges the company itself advertised in its job postings, read from the structured pay field its job board publishes to comply with US pay-transparency law. Nothing here is estimated or modelled by us.
Low is the lowest floor seen across every posting and high is the highest ceiling, so a whole spread — junior to staff, and every city paid differently — sits between those two numbers. Midpoint is the median of each posting band's own midpoint.
Base pay only. Equity, bonus and benefits are excluded, and where equity is most of the offer that makes these figures a floor rather than a total. US postings in US dollars; postings in other currencies were dropped rather than converted at a rate we would have had to invent.
These are advertised ranges — not salaries anyone was confirmed to be paid, and not survey wages. A midpoint resting on a handful of postings is an anecdote, not a market rate.
