Senior role ranges posted

A recruiter account, Kube Careers, posted a salary snapshot this week showing senior OpenAI security work and NVIDIA solutions architecture near the top of the market. (x.com) The post cited OpenAI DevSecOps-style compensation at roughly $364,000 to $490,000 in total pay. It also listed NVIDIA Solution Architect compensation at about $308,000 to $471,000. (x.com) Those figures are recruiter-posted benchmarks, not company-issued salary bands. They read more like market-facing negotiation anchors than formal compensation tables from OpenAI or NVIDIA. (x.com) OpenAI’s own careers site shows a large active hiring footprint, with more than 650 jobs listed across teams and locations as of April 25, 2026. Its security openings include application security, infrastructure security, agent security, detection and response, and insider-threat roles. (openai.com 1) (openai.com 2) (openai.com 3) One current OpenAI posting for Infrastructure Security says the team protects GPU supercomputing clusters, multi-cloud infrastructure, datacenters, networking, storage, and sensitive model weights. That job description helps explain why security engineers tied to artificial intelligence infrastructure can command unusually high pay. (openai.com) NVIDIA is also actively recruiting customer-facing architects for artificial intelligence deployments. Recent postings include Senior Solutions Architect, Generative AI; Solutions Architect, AI and ML; Solutions Architect, Supercomputing; and Senior Solutions Architect, AI Infrastructure.

That puts the recruiter’s upper-end NVIDIA number above the tracker’s listed top band, but still in the same premium tier. (levels.fyi) Levels.fyi’s OpenAI company page shows compensation stretching much higher in some engineering tracks, with company-wide pay running from about $144,275 at the low end to more than $1.27 million at the high end. The site does not surface a dedicated DevSecOps title in the same way it does for software engineering, so the recruiter’s OpenAI figure is harder to benchmark directly. (levels.fyi 1) (levels.fyi 2) The through line is that companies building or selling artificial intelligence infrastructure are still paying steep premiums for people who can secure clusters, harden systems, and translate complex GPU platforms for customers. Kube Careers’ post packaged that reality into two numbers that candidates can carry into leveling and offer talks. (x.com) (openai.com) (levels.fyi)
