AWS posts not marked remote
114 job posts mention AWS and are not marked remote.
Check each post for location requirements. “Not marked remote” does not confirm onsite work. Different employers and roles can affect the comparison; it does not show a remote-work pay premium.
Compare 2026 with all years
Compare the lower end of advertised salary ranges, estimated in USD per year. The bars show the middle 50% of amounts; the white line marks the median.
Each band shows the 25th to 75th percentile of advertised annual minimum estimates. Both groups use the same approximate USD scale.

How to read these comparisons
AWS is a cloud platform label, not a single engineering specialty
AWS groups many services with different operational responsibilities. Its infrastructure documentation distinguishes Regions, which are separate geographic areas, from Availability Zones, which are isolated locations inside a Region. Individual services also differ in whether resources are regional or zonal, so “AWS” alone says little about a role’s day-to-day scope.
A post can use AWS for application hosting, data systems, deployment, or security work. Compare AWS mentions with specific service and role tags where they exist. Do not treat AWS and Kubernetes as equivalent: a cloud provider and a container-orchestration system describe different layers that may appear together.
- Does the listing name AWS services or only the platform?
- Is the role focused on application development, infrastructure, data, or security?
Starting-salary history
Advertised minimums over time
Each dot is one post’s approximate USD estimate of its advertised minimum, linked to the source post. The chart shows up to the 120 newest comparable estimates, from Jul 2024 to Oct 2026; older months remain in the table, so a missing dot does not mean there were no posts. Monthly summaries appear only with at least 30 comparable estimates. Values are approximate annualized USD estimates of advertised minimums, not full offer ranges or employee pay. They use a common comparison basis, not historical exchange rates or inflation. The mix of companies, recorded role levels, and currencies can change month to month.
