The salary distribution is tightly centered near the median, with the lower quartile at $118,218 and the upper quartile at $161,050; that places most advertised pay in a band that sits well above the lower end of the published salary set, even before considering the $45,000 minimum and $274,000 maximum. The remote share was 6.1% in June, which fits the quarter’s onsite-heavy work pattern and the larger presence of hybrid and onsite postings relative to remote advertising.
The mix of work arrangements is reinforced by the job-type data: postings were overwhelmingly full-time, with only small counts for contract and internship roles. Tag coverage also points to a compliance- and operations-oriented market, with Information Security, Security, InfoSec, Cybersecurity Tools, and Security Compliance among the most frequent terms in the quarter’s published postings.
By employment type: Full Time 333 · Contract 8 · Internship 1.
