Salary band 2026
-
Base only, before equity and bonus
Methodology
Bands above are calibrated against Re:Sourced active and recent search briefs in the 12 months ending Q1 2026, supplemented with public salary data from Glassdoor, Levels.fyi, Robert Half AU, Hays AU and Talent International.
Bands represent the 25th to 75th percentile of accepted offers for like-for-like roles. Outliers (top 10% AI engineering at frontier labs, deep-startup early stage) are excluded from the band but cited in the full Salary Guide 2026.
For named-employer comp data on a specific brief, start a hiring campaign.
