What DevRel roles advertise

Roles open now

By workplace

Remote, hybrid, and on-site

Stated bounds are published at every sample size because they describe the sample rather than estimate the market. A median is an estimate, so it appears per cut only once that cut clears 20 disclosing roles on its own.

Every stated range

The 26 ranges behind the figures

Every open role that discloses pay in USD, as the posting states it, sorted by the point it contributes to the median. The lime tick marks that point: the midpoint of a full range, or the single figure where a posting states only one bound.

Methodology

How these numbers are made

The most-quoted pay figure in this field sits behind a form, dates from 2023, and never says what it excludes. Five things about this one, stated up front so you can decide how much weight it carries.

1. 01These are asking ranges, not payEvery figure comes from a range an employer published in a job posting. Nobody's accepted offer, negotiated total, equity, or bonus is in here. Postings advertise the band a company is willing to open with, and the offer that follows often is not the midpoint.
2. 02Copied verbatim, never estimatedA range enters the data only if the posting stated it. Nothing is inferred from title, company, or location; no model fills a gap; no currency is converted. Roles quoted in currencies other than USD are left out of the aggregates rather than converted at a rate that would date instantly. A posting stating one bound contributes that bound, not a guess at the other.
3. 03The sample size travels with every figureEvery number here states its n. Below 20 disclosing roles the median is suppressed outright rather than published with a caveat, because a sample that thin is senior-skewed and swings by double digits when one posting enters or leaves. Stated bounds and individual ranges are published at any n, because each describes the sample rather than estimating the field.
4. 04The sample is a watchlist, not a censusThe roles come from a hand-maintained watchlist of companies known to hire in DevRel, read through three ATS providers. That skews the data toward US-headquartered, well-funded, English-language employers that use those systems, and away from agencies, non-profits, and companies hiring through their own site. It is a sample of a slice of the market, and small enough that one large employer's hiring round moves it.
5. 05Refresh cadence, statedOpen postings are re-read from their source twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays), and this page recomputes daily from whatever is live at that moment. Live-board figures therefore change without notice as roles are posted and expire. Historical figures are drawn from an append-only ledger: once a range has been recorded it is never rewritten or removed, so the history cannot be quietly revised. Paid featured placements are excluded from that ledger, so no number in the benchmark can be bought.
