## Trailing 12 months

Not published yet. The append-only ledger behind this section holds 26 pay observations across 16 companies, but they span fewer than 180 days of sightings, so nothing here can honestly be labelled a year. The section opens on its own once the record is long enough.

## Methodology

- **These are asking ranges, not pay.** Every 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.
- **Copied verbatim, never estimated.** A 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.
- **The sample size travels with every figure.** Every 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.
- **The sample is a watchlist, not a census.** The 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.
- **Refresh cadence, stated.** Open 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.
