At the end of Oct 20, 415 open roles posted an annual pay range in USD, and the median of the midpoints of those ranges was $227,526. The 415 roles come from 7 company groups, and Roblox and its companies have 219 of them. Outside Roblox and its companies, the median is $195,000 across 196 roles from 6 groups. A posted range is what a company posts for a role, not what anyone is paid.12345678

Few roles show pay: 559 of the 1,812 open roles do, and 453 of those 559 post an annual range with both ends in a named currency. A further 102 state pay for an hour, a month or another period than a year, and 4 state no period; Roblox and its companies have 220 of the 453 annual ranges.910111213

The pay figure is that of the role's newest open posting that shows pay; where a posting lists a range for each pay zone, our records hold the first one listed. A median is of range midpoints, one currency at a time, and no median is stated from fewer than 5 roles. A role family is our own keyword grouping of the English words in a title. Our records cover the hiring boards of 41 companies in 31 groups; a company that hires through a closed system such as Workday is not read, and an open role is not a hire. Our records of the hiring boards begin on Sep 26, 2026, when the first board was read; no collector run began on Sep 27 to Sep 28, Sep 30 to Oct 5 or Oct 11. The counts are for the end of Oct 20, as our records stood when this article was written, and a posting confirmed or closed later can move a recount by a few.845464748

  8. what our records cover of the analysis (pay-by-role-2026-10-20)Our records of pay are the pay figure a posting shows: the range the company posts for the role, not what anyone is paid. Few postings show one: 559 of the 1,812 open roles at the end of Oct 20, 2026 (UTC) do, by the newest open posting of the role that shows pay. A median counts only a role that posts an annual range with both ends, in a named currency: 453 do, and of the others 102 state it for an hour, a month or another period than a year; 4 state no period for it. A median is of the midpoints of those ranges, one currency at a time and never mixed with another, and none is stated from fewer than 5 roles. Where a posting lists a range for each pay zone, our records hold the first one listed. A rate per hour or month is not turned into a year. A role family is our own keyword grouping of the English words in a title, not the company's department: a title in another language, or with none of the words, is in the family of other titles.Our database

  45. what our records cover of the analysis (pay-by-role-2026-10-20)Our records, as of the end of Oct 20, 2026 (UTC), cover the hiring boards of 41 companies in 31 company groups: a company counts once it had a posting first seen by then, and a company that hires through a closed system such as Workday is not read, so a company missing from the figures is not a company without openings.Our database
  46. what our records cover of the analysis (pay-by-role-2026-10-20)Our records count roles, not postings: a role is one company's postings that share a title, so a role open in several cities is one role. A role is open at the end of a day when one of its postings had been seen by then and had not closed. An open role is not a hire, and a role that closes is not a role that was filled.Our database
  47. what our records cover of the analysis (pay-by-role-2026-10-20)Our records of the hiring boards begin on Sep 26, 2026, when the first board was read (a board we added later counts from the day we first saw a posting on it): a role's age before then is not known. A collector run began on 16 of the 25 days from then to the end of Oct 20, 2026 (UTC). No collector run began on Sep 27 to Sep 28, Sep 30 to Oct 5, Oct 11, so a posting that opened and closed within those days is in no figure, and one that closed within them still counts as open until the first run after them.Our database
