The posting lists two salary bands: $214,500–$268,000 for most locations, and $236,000–$295,000 for the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City Metro Area. The lower (general) range is reported in the compensation fields; the higher band applies in those select metros.
Ridgeline has offices in Lake Tahoe, Reno, New York, the Bay Area, and Dublin, Ireland. The role does not appear to be fully remote — no remote option is stated — but the primary work location is ambiguous across multiple US offices. The Bay Area CBSA is used given it is the most prominent US tech hub listed and the higher salary band applies there.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) is noted because the posting emphasizes hands-on technical judgment, architectural guidance, and building AI platforms, but the primary day-to-day work is clearly people management and organizational leadership across multiple teams, making 11-3021 the right primary code.
