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.

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.
How to read these comparisons
Kubernetes manages container workloads through declarative resources
Kubernetes treats Pods as its smallest deployable units and uses workload resources such as Deployments, StatefulSets, and Jobs to manage their lifecycle. Services provide network access to selected Pods. Those resource types separate workload scheduling and service discovery from container image creation.
A Kubernetes tag may describe cluster operations, platform engineering, deployment work, or application teams that own manifests. Compare Docker and AWS mentions as related but distinct layers, then use role titles to determine whether the listing expects cluster administration or ordinary application delivery.
- Does the role own the cluster, workload manifests, or an application deployed on Kubernetes?
- Which container and cloud-platform tags accompany Kubernetes?
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 Mar 2025 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.
