How this principal software engineer salary guide is built
We source only verified $100k+ principal software engineer roles directly from ATS-powered company job boards. Every listing is normalized for salary, role slug, country, and remote mode, then deduped and expired when it goes stale. The medians and ranges on this page are computed from live openings rather than historical surveys, so the data reflects current hiring demand. When a company publishes a new principal software engineer job with a clear range, it feeds into the stats; when the job is filled or closed, it disappears from the sample. Remote and hybrid roles are labeled, and local currencies are preserved wherever possible. This approach keeps the guide aligned with what hiring managers are paying today, not last year. Use the band toggles to see how compensation shifts at $200k, $300k, and $400k, then scroll the job list to apply to the exact roles behind the numbers.
