Role volume and posted USD ranges
Averages are simple means of posted min/max bands where both values exist. Small samples (pentest, IR, cloud, AppSec) are noisy. Read sample size before treating a band as typical.
| Role bucket | Open jobs | With USD/yr | Avg min | Avg max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Security engineer | 870 | 278 | $118,998 | $178,891 |
| Security analyst | 524 | 138 | $93,001 | $137,754 |
| GRC / compliance / risk | 445 | 90 | $112,049 | $168,105 |
| SOC / cyber ops | 369 | 67 | $112,891 | $165,822 |
| Pentest / red team | 51 | 4 | $118,340 | $170,468 |
| IR / threat hunt / detection | 43 | 7 | $117,657 | $217,400 |
| Cloud security / DevSecOps | 15 | 5 | $119,820 | $163,900 |
| AppSec / product security | 12 | 2 | $101,450 | $154,175 |
| Other (uncategorized titles) | 2852 | 589 | $136,359 | $200,450 |
Read carefully: “Other” is large because many titles are specialized (CISO, architect, OT, vendor-adjacent, geo-specific strings). Avg max in “other” is pulled up by senior and executive bands, not a typical IC offer.

What this means for job seekers
- Security engineer and security analyst titles still dominate volume.
- SOC / cyber ops remains a solid volume path; posted bands often sit near six figures when salary is disclosed.
- GRC and compliance titles are plentiful relative to niche offensive roles.
- On-site still outnumbers remote on this inventory. Hybrid is common.
- Entry-labeled roles are a small slice of the board. Career changers should watch analyst and SOC filters, not only “entry level” tags.

For employers
If you hire cybersecurity practitioners and want a niche board instead of a general marketplace, you can post a free moderated 30-day listing or use the $49 Featured Launch Special for priority placement. No performance guarantees. Introductory pricing.
Method notes: currency values stored as USD (case-insensitive match). Aggregated inventory can include sales or GTM-adjacent titles; treat role purity as imperfect. Re-pull before citing these numbers in external pitches.
