Salary
In the US, the base salary for this role is $53,000, with $68,000+ in OTE. Note that we typically build 1-3 quarters of ramp time with lower goals and thus lower earnings from commissions.

For all other countries, we have competitive pay bands based on market standards.
Individual compensation decisions are based on a number of factors, including experience level, skillset, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at the company. We expect the majority of the candidates who are offered roles at our company to fall healthily throughout the range based on these factors.
