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 75,000 to 325,000.

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 Sep 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.

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. 0k54k107k161k214k Source-post dateApproximate annualized USD estimate Sep 24Jun 25Oct 25Feb 26Oct 26 Sep 2024 · 158,645 approximate USD floor · source post 41429307Dec 2024 · 165,000 approximate USD floor · source post 42307199Apr 2025 · 100,000 approximate USD floor · source post 43548471Apr 2025 · 144,000 approximate USD floor · source post 43552546Jun 2025 · 198,306 approximate USD floor · source post 44175666Jul 2025 · 149,000 approximate USD floor · source post 44502536Aug 2025 · 75,000 approximate USD floor · source post 44767051Oct 2025 · 120,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45442421Nov 2025 · 190,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45801951Nov 2025 · 140,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45825030Dec 2025 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46113346Feb 2026 · 119,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46858976May 2026 · 90,000 approximate USD floor · source post 47976903Sep 2026 · 160,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49527133Oct 2026 · 170,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49937789 Sep 2024Oct 2026

Data and method

Listings tagged with Kafka that are 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
2024-09-02 to 2026-10-02
Posts used
15 listings; 15 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 4 listings and 4 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.
