Levels in order
Each level counts its own roles. A median shows only where 50 or more of that level’s roles state pay, and each is taken over a different set of roles.
| Level | Roles | Median stated pay | At least half ask for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Junior mobile engineer | 14 roles | Not shown | 2+ years, 8 of 13 |
| Mid-level mobile engineer | 24 roles | Not shown | 3+ years, 21 of 22 |
| Senior mobile engineer | 54 roles | Not shown | 5+ years, 34 of 42 |
| Staff mobile engineer | 12 roles | Not shown | 8+ years, 6 of 9 |
| Principal mobile engineer | No roles in the window | Not shown | Not shown |
| Lead mobile engineer | 6 roles | Not shown | 8+ years, 2 of 4 |
Lead titles say who leads a team, not a step above principal, so lead is listed last and not compared with the level before it.
