$105–150kbase postedOct 24
The board carries the 120 most recent of 339 open data engineer roles - the other 219 are in the full member search. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.
Open to remote only? 86 of the 187 data engineer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 69 more are hybrid. The other 152 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.

What 103 of these listings actually printed.
Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

Job seekers evaluating opportunities in this space can use these percentile figures as a general reference point when assessing offers, while recognizing that actual compensation will vary by individual role, company, and location. The presence of companies like Anthropic and OpenAI among top hirers may also point to demand tied to AI and machine learning infrastructure needs, though this cannot be confirmed beyond the company names provided.
