Sign-On Bonus Jobs

1,826,643 open positions · Updated daily

Sign‑on bonuses have become a decisive factor for tech talent, with 22,728 open positions currently offering up to $25,000 as a one‑time incentive. Companies in AI, cloud, and cybersecurity sectors use these bonuses to outbid rivals and attract senior engineers who can hit the ground running.

Roles that frequently feature sign‑on bonuses include Senior Backend Engineer, Data Engineer, Machine Learning Specialist, Cloud Solutions Architect, and Cybersecurity Architect. Typical responsibilities involve designing scalable microservices, building real‑time data pipelines, training and deploying ML models, architecting multi‑region cloud solutions, and securing network perimeters against advanced threats.

Salary transparency is crucial because sign‑on bonuses are often treated as a separate component from base pay. Knowing the exact bonus amount upfront allows candidates to benchmark offers, negotiate total compensation, and ensure parity across similar roles—especially when equity or relocation packages are also involved.
