The board carries the 120 most recent of 232 open systems engineer roles - the other 112 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? 26 of the 54 systems engineer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 9 more are hybrid. The other 178 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.
Posted pay only - no estimates
What 110 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.

3 of the 6 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.
