How old the open roles are, not how many get posted - our board coverage has grown over the last year, so a week-by-week series would measure us rather than the market. Snapshot taken September 2026.

Level sets the scope and the pay band; work model decides whether you’re eligible at all. Both are on every card, so you can rule roles out before opening a single description.

Every open data platform engineer role we track is on this page - nothing is held back behind a sign-up. 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? 13 of the 23 data platform engineer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 2 more are hybrid. The other 19 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.

Posted pay only - no estimates

What 10 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.

No single level clears the 5-listing floor on its own yet - the 10 priced listings are spread too thin across the ladder to band them honestly. The percentiles below are over all of them.

5 of the 5 levels on this board sit out - fewer than 5 of their listings state a range, and a band drawn off two postings reads like the same fact as one drawn off forty.

About Data Platform Engineer roles

The Data Platform Engineer job market currently shows 41 open positions across 27 hiring companies, based on available data. Of these, 3 roles were posted this week, indicating some ongoing hiring activity in the space. Notable companies with open Data Platform Engineer positions include Airwallex, Adyen, TRM Labs, Snowflake, and Scale AI, suggesting demand spans fintech, blockchain analytics, and data infrastructure companies. Compensation data from posted listings shows a median (P50) salary of $225,000, with a 25th percentile of $162,250 and a 75th percentile of $238,137.5. This range indicates that while some roles are compensated near or above the $225,000 median, a meaningful share of postings fall in the lower range closer to $162,250, reflecting variation likely tied to seniority, location, or company stage. The relatively narrow gap between the median and 75th percentile compared to the wider gap down to the 25th percentile may suggest a cluster of roles compensated at or above the median, with a smaller number of lower-paying positions pulling the lower bound down. With 27 distinct companies hiring across 41 roles, the average company has posted roughly one to two openings, suggesting hiring is distributed rather than concentrated in a handful of firms, though the presence of well-known companies like Snowflake and Scale AI in the top hiring list may indicate these firms have specific data infrastructure needs. Candidates evaluating this market should consider that the current snapshot of 41 positions and 3 new postings this week represents a limited slice of the overall market and may not capture longer-term hiring trends. Those interested in these roles should review individual company listings directly to understand specific requirements, as the available data does not provide detail on required skills, experience levels, or job responsibilities beyond the aggregate figures presented here.

The available data does not specify particular technical skills required across the 41 open positions.
