Six Figure Work

Design jobs with a published base of $100K+

Design here is mostly product and interface design for software, plus brand, graphic, UX research and a few industrial and footwear roles. Expect design systems work, staff and principal product designers, and design managers at software companies of every size. Hardware design engineers sometimes land in this category too, so check the title.

How to read these figures

Figures are employer-published annual base ranges in USD for postings open at last check. They are not offers and not total compensation, and they do not show what anyone is paid. Because we list only ranges that start at $100K or more, these figures describe six-figure postings, not the whole job market. Read the methodology.
