Questions

How much does L3Harris Technologies pay for backend engineering roles?

The median of the 41 posted ranges is $139k a year; the middle half sits between $115k and $171k.

Is this base salary or total compensation?

Why posted ranges and not self-reported salaries?

A posted range is what the employer commits to for a role it has open today. It is fresher than a survey and cannot be inflated by respondents. Each posting counts once, at the midpoint of its range.

Which level pays most?

Lead roles have the highest median here: $182k a year across 11 postings.
