Compensation
Public postings advertise competitive equity and benefits. One current/near-current Growth Engineer listing showed approximately $175,000–$250,000 base salary plus equity; individual compensation varies by role, location, skills, and experience. At least one engineering posting required US work eligibility and did not promise sponsorship; a third-party listing indicated possible visa transfers but no routine new petitions.
