How do Elasticsearch Engineer rates compare with national wage data?

The closest occupation the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks for Elasticsearch Engineer roles is software developers, which had a median annual wage of 135,980 US dollars in May 2025 (BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook, page last modified August 27, 2026). BLS reports the median wage of all employees in that occupation nationwide; the amounts elsewhere on this page are whatever each ApTask posting or FAQ answer states for itself, so read the BLS figure as national context rather than a like-for-like comparison.
