Why this grade This listing scored 52/100, which is a D. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Description depth 14 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Pay transparency 0 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →
This listing does not state a salary
$125k – $188k
That is the middle half of what comparable roles paid on this board over the last 90 days — 59 listings that did publish a figure, median $160k. It is not this employer's offer, and we have no idea what they pay. It is only what the rest of the market advertised.

ParadeDB is a Postgres extension that delivers state-of-the-art search in Postgres. Our customers, including Alibaba Cloud, BILT Rewards, Modern Treasury (YC S18), and many others, rely on us to deliver the performance and feature set of dedicated vector databases/Elasticsearch natively in Postgres, simplifying their stack and day-to-day operations.
If you like systems, this might be for you. We're a team of 10, a Series A company based in SF but distributed across North America. We're hiring for database internals work (e.g., building the database in Rust) and distributed systems work (e.g., building the database-as-a-service platform in Go).
