Competitive Base Pay Jobs

1,241,151 open positions · Updated daily

Competitive Base Pay roles are surging, with 1110 listings that offer salaries averaging 20% above the industry median. Candidates in software engineering, data science, DevOps, and cybersecurity find opportunities that combine high pay with cutting‑edge tech stacks like Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS Lambda, and TensorFlow. The demand for developers fluent in Go, Rust, and TypeScript is especially strong, as companies push for micro‑service architectures and serverless deployments.

Within Competitive Base Pay, roles vary from Backend Engineer—responsible for REST APIs, database sharding, and performance tuning—to ML Engineer building production‑grade models in PyTorch and deploying them on SageMaker. Product Managers map feature roadmaps with data‑driven metrics, while DevOps Engineers automate CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, and Helm. Cybersecurity Analysts secure cloud workloads with CISSP‑aligned controls, and UX Designers prototype interfaces that reduce friction for high‑traffic SaaS products.

Salary transparency is critical for professionals in this category because it levels the playing field and accelerates career decisions. With disclosed base pay, engineers can benchmark against peers in similar roles across regions, negotiate more effectively, and avoid hidden compensation gaps that historically favor certain demographics. Transparent figures also help talent identify companies that prioritize fair pay and align with their growth ambitions.
