Our salary ranges are calculated by role, level and the market rate for a candidate’s geo-location. Your position within that range will be determined by your job-related knowledge, skills, experience, relevant education, and training/certifications. In addition to those factors, we also examine internal equity across the company, and title may be assessed one level lower or higher accordingly. After you join the company your performance, contributions, and results along with business and organizational needs will affect your base salary. 

The base salary range for this full-time position is between $135,000-$155,000 for a candidate located in the San Francisco Bay-Area. Candidates in other areas can expect local market-adjusted salaries which may be lower.
