Advertised compensation

Each row compares roles with the same currency, pay period and employment type and pay basis. Salary and on-target earnings (OTE) are kept separate. The figures are the median advertised lower and upper limits, calculated separately; they are not an expected salary for an individual candidate. Seniority and hiring locations vary.

19 of 31 listings disclose pay. 14 have one complete salary or OTE range with a known currency and period. Only groups meeting the sample requirements appear below.

14 roles · 9 employers

A row needs at least ten roles from three employers. One listing contributes one observation. Separate geographic tiers, open-ended ranges, total compensation and net pay are excluded. A stated salary can be included when bonuses or equity are offered separately; OTE is shown in its own row. Currencies are not converted and hourly or monthly pay is not annualized.

Employer coverage

19 employers are represented in the current directory. Super.com accounts for 4 listings (12.9%). The five largest employers account for 48.4%. Changes in which employers we monitor can change these totals. Directory growth alone does not establish growth in the wider job market.

Where employers can hire

Countries explicitly named in the current listings, including roles restricted to a state or province. A role can appear in several countries. Check each listing for state, work authorization and timezone restrictions.

0 roles state worldwide hiring without a specific country list. 4 give a broader region or do not name a supported country. These are kept separate from the country counts.

This role is part of our Data Engineering team. Being Data Driven is a core value of Super.com and this team plays a huge part in this, enabling the organization to scale while maintaining petabytes of data. We are long time advocates and users of Snowflake, dbt, Kafka, and Amplitude. This isn’t a place where we are convincing the business the value of data or just using these tools for the first time.

What this measures

This is a cross-section of live, fully remote roles checked for this directory. It is useful for seeing the composition of the board today; it is not an estimate of every opening in the wider labor market.

How the figures are maintained

Counts update with the underlying listings. Closed roles leave the live totals, and missing compensation or hiring terms are never inferred. Read the full reporting methodology.
