Illustrative bands, not negotiation data. Cross-check against Levels.fyi, Glassdoor, or local recruiters before quoting these numbers in a real offer conversation.

Who this band describes

The DevOps / SRE archetype in this band has 5+ years of experience operating production systems — cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), Kubernetes, observability stacks, CI/CD pipelines, and on-call response. Pay tends to run modestly above general-purpose senior SWE bands due to specialization and on-call burden.

Highest bands: tech companies with mature platform-engineering practices, finance-tech firms with strict reliability requirements, and crypto/trading infrastructure roles. Mid-band: enterprise SaaS, consultancies doing infra modernization work, and traditional companies modernizing their stack.

All cities ranked by best-supported lifestyle tier
