What salary details are stated?

How specific are the advertised salary amounts?

Each post is grouped by the salary details extracted from it: a range, one exact amount, a minimum, or values that could not form a usable range. Extraction can miss details, so check the original post.

Advertised offer bands

Each panel has a separate scale in the source currency. A band shows its stated lower and upper amounts; a marker shows a minimum with no upper amount. Pay period is not preserved in the listing record. These are historical advertisements, not confirmed current vacancies.

USD advertised bands. Scale covers known endpoints from 60,000 to 325,000.

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 Sep 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.

Approximate annualized USD estimates of advertised minimums by source-post date Individual linked post floors appear as dots. Eligible month summaries show the p25 to p75 interval and a median mark. The vertical axis is approximate USD and begins at zero. Months without a valid point have no dot. 0k76k151k227k302k Source-post dateApproximate annualized USD estimate Jul 24Oct 24Jun 25Dec 25Jun 26Sep 26 Jul 2024 · 130,000 approximate USD floor · source post 40849472Aug 2024 · 130,000 approximate USD floor · source post 41131584Sep 2024 · 130,000 approximate USD floor · source post 41439763Oct 2024 · 140,000 approximate USD floor · source post 41713107Jan 2025 · 140,000 approximate USD floor · source post 42648310May 2025 · 110,000 approximate USD floor · source post 43860134Jun 2025 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 44161066Aug 2025 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 44760333Nov 2025 · 60,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45815813Dec 2025 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46110192Feb 2026 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46862140Feb 2026 · 169,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46865063Mar 2026 · 280,000 approximate USD floor · source post 47220346Mar 2026 · 177,900 approximate USD floor · source post 47220396Jun 2026 · 113,000 approximate USD floor · source post 48366418Jul 2026 · 176,000 approximate USD floor · source post 48754582Aug 2026 · 192,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49302719Sep 2026 · 76,619 approximate USD floor · source post 49523768Sep 2026 · 192,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49525544 Jul 2024Sep 2026

Other technologies named together

Which other technologies appeared in these posts?

For each month, this lists the three most-mentioned other technologies and how many posts named each one. A post can mention several technologies, so these counts overlap and do not add up to the number of posts.

Data and method

Listings tagged with Kafka that are not marked remote. The mark reflects post wording, not a verified workplace or pay effect. These figures describe advertisements, not verified employee earnings or currently open jobs.

Dates of included posts
2024-07-01 to 2026-09-01
Posts used
19 listings; 19 valid salary-minimum observations
What we compare
Median annualized estimate of advertised salary minimums
Currency conversion
Approximate USD using ECB daily reference rates as of 2026-10-09.

Fewer than 30 usable salary amounts are available, so we do not show a group median. Check the individual offers instead.

2026 includes 9 listings and 9 usable amounts. Its median is withheld below 30 usable amounts. This year overlaps the full history; it is not an independent sample or evidence of a pay trend.
