Rust posts marked remote

67 job posts mention Rust and are 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.

Approximate annual USD amounts from the lower end of advertised ranges. The median is the middle amount. These are advertised figures, not verified pay.

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.

Advertised starting amounts

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

Rust’s ownership model is a central systems-programming distinction

Rust uses ownership, borrowing, and slices to enforce memory-safety rules without relying on a garbage collector. Cargo packages code as crates and manages dependencies and builds. Those are concrete differences from a runtime-centered tag such as Java or a systems language tag such as C++.

Rust listings can involve command-line programs, embedded work, systems components, or network services. Compare the role wording and co-mentioned platform tags rather than treating every Rust post as the same job family. A post may name a framework or protocol, but the language tag alone does not establish that specialization.

  • Are these roles focused on systems, embedded software, services, or tooling?
  • Which device, operating-system, or networking tags appear alongside Rust?

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.

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. 0k65k130k194k259k Source-post dateApproximate annualized USD estimate Jul 24Dec 24Mar 25Jul 25Oct 25Jan 26Apr 26Jul 26Oct 26 Jul 2024 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 40850185Jul 2024 · 110,000 approximate USD floor · source post 40931676Jul 2024 · 105,000 approximate USD floor · source post 40933438Sep 2024 · 160,000 approximate USD floor · source post 41429035Sep 2024 · 158,645 approximate USD floor · source post 41429307Oct 2024 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 41711165Oct 2024 · 89,648 approximate USD floor · source post 41714329Oct 2024 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 41715066Dec 2024 · 70,292 approximate USD floor · source post 42311668Jan 2025 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 42580522Jan 2025 · 125,594 approximate USD floor · source post 42703397Feb 2025 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 42921798Feb 2025 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 42922080Feb 2025 · 70,292 approximate USD floor · source post 42936649Feb 2025 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 42976120Mar 2025 · 160,000 approximate USD floor · source post 43245362May 2025 · 160,000 approximate USD floor · source post 43858876May 2025 · 153,000 approximate USD floor · source post 43918865May 2025 · 84,000 approximate USD floor · source post 43975452Jun 2025 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 44160216Jun 2025 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 44165287Jun 2025 · 198,306 approximate USD floor · source post 44175666Jul 2025 · 132,204 approximate USD floor · source post 44435977Jul 2025 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 44491247Jul 2025 · 149,000 approximate USD floor · source post 44502536Aug 2025 · 120,000 approximate USD floor · source post 44804356Aug 2025 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 44804802Sep 2025 · 180,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45096461Sep 2025 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45105157Oct 2025 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45491370Nov 2025 · 130,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45806689Nov 2025 · 80,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45808635Nov 2025 · 80,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45822612Nov 2025 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 45834556Dec 2025 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46113646Dec 2025 · 160,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46113748Dec 2025 · 115,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46204185Jan 2026 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46467489Jan 2026 · 50,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46468466Jan 2026 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46503295Feb 2026 · 80,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46857647Feb 2026 · 160,000 approximate USD floor · source post 46965643Mar 2026 · 240,000 approximate USD floor · source post 47241620Mar 2026 · 80,000 approximate USD floor · source post 47246546Mar 2026 · 112,060 approximate USD floor · source post 47305192Apr 2026 · 80,000 approximate USD floor · source post 47613398Apr 2026 · 154,000 approximate USD floor · source post 47696673May 2026 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 47975670May 2026 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 48009832Jun 2026 · 120,000 approximate USD floor · source post 48383091Jun 2026 · 160,000 approximate USD floor · source post 48402188Jul 2026 · 100,000 approximate USD floor · source post 48756786Jul 2026 · 89,648 approximate USD floor · source post 48761473Jul 2026 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 48914268Aug 2026 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49160662Aug 2026 · 78,442 approximate USD floor · source post 49166080Sep 2026 · 180,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49523288Sep 2026 · 200,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49524978Sep 2026 · 110,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49529763Sep 2026 · 125,840 approximate USD floor · source post 49530430Sep 2026 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49531646Oct 2026 · 89,648 approximate USD floor · source post 49922899Oct 2026 · 196,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49925063Oct 2026 · 180,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49926951Oct 2026 · 120,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49928677Oct 2026 · 150,000 approximate USD floor · source post 49929200Oct 2026 · 180,000 approximate USD floor · source post 50012248 Jul 2024Oct 2026
