What these roles pay

By level, the median runs middle at $171K, senior at $200K, and lead at $170K. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.
Where the work is
The largest concentrations of these roles are United Arab Emirates (313), Saudi Arabia (6), Hong Kong (5), France (4), and Ireland (3). 60% of the listings are fully remote, so a large part of this market is open to you regardless of where you live.
