Compensation

Base salary$70,000 – $100,000 / year
At Leapsome, salary bands aren't a black box. We benchmark at the 75th percentile (90th for senior ICs) against tech companies at our stage, publish the bands publicly, and don't negotiate offers — because negotiation rewards whoever asks loudest, not whoever's doing the best work. If salary is the only blocker to you joining, tell us; we'd rather fix that than lose you over it.

Leapsome aims to pay generously and fairly. If the listed range isn’t working for your situation, please tell us early in the process, we’d rather have that conversation than lose a great candidate over a number we may be able to address.

If your role or skillset isn’t covered in our compensation framework, it’s likely because we haven’t hired enough in that area yet. We’ll build a data-backed range before we make you an offer, and we’ll share our thinking with you as early as we can.

This note is published for transparency. It reflects our compensation philosophy as of June 2026 and describes our general global approach — it is not a contract, offer, or entitlement to any salary, increase, or bonus, and may change at any time. Individual compensation is always governed solely by your written employment agreement and applicable local law.

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every qualification. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
