Tech Salary Data

Salary transparency matters. When you know what the market pays, you negotiate better, plan your career smarter, and avoid being underpaid for years without realising it. In Africa's tech industry, though, compensation data has traditionally been scarce and unreliable.

We built this hub to change that. Every article draws on aggregated data from job postings, recruiter conversations, and direct input from hiring managers and developers across Kenya and the broader tech industry. We update our research regularly and show you when each article was last verified.

Junior developer trying to understand what a fair starting salary looks like? Mid-career engineer evaluating whether to go remote? Someone considering a switch into AI? We break down compensation by experience level, company type, tech stack, and location so you can find the numbers most relevant to your situation.
