Pay and benefits
Our pay levels are set according to a formula that combines above-median market rate data for the role (we use 55th percentile of New York market rate for this role, based on Payscale data) adjusted for your local cost of living based on Numbeo data. For Engineering roles including this one, we pay the mid-point between unadjusted New York market rate and your locally adjusted formula rate.
We take the issue of equitable pay very seriously, and we apply our pay formula to all workers who work 80% or more of full time hours with us.
