My title is currently data developer and the role and title on facebooks careers website match exactly what I currently do. Just wondering what the comp range is here and at other FAANG companies for this position.

I’m basically doing star schema and ETL development, writing python and SQL, primary customers are data analysts/scientists.

I don’t see it specifically narrowed down on levels.fyi

Thank you

      Nah they have a specific listing for “data developer” vs “data engineer”. There are actually multiple data developer roles it looks like.

  • I don’t think it’s going to be the first time someone asks for this comparison to the work of swe or something similar, lol not that bad but the payment is not that same

      OP
      Would it be in line with a data scientist then? I understand data engineers are typically not paid as much as SWEs
