Leadership & infrastructure
$250k
Senior · $200–250k
Director of IT
Titles are poor signals here. A director owning architecture and security strategy earns far more than one running shift schedules.
Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity Architect
Security hiring rarely slows down. Teams freeze other roles but keep funding compliance and incident readiness.
Data & AI
$210k
Senior · $170–210k
AI Architect
Ship a model customers actually use and you are worth far more than someone with only theoretical knowledge.

How we built this
Numbers you can defend.
These ranges come from real hiring decisions, not a static annual survey. Three sources, cross-checked, then read through recruiter judgment on live searches.
01First-party
Internal placements
Our own hiring records across permanent and contract roles. The offers candidates actually signed, not what a survey reported.
02Independent
Vetted external benchmarks
Aggregated compensation data from independent, vetted sources, weighted by recency.
03Cross-checked
Market cross-reference
Checked against major industry reports so no single dataset drives a range on its own.

FAQ
Questions about the guide, answered.
Every band is built from three sources: our own placements (real signed-offer data, not survey self-reports), vetted external benchmarks, and a live market cross-reference. The numbers reflect what candidates actually accepted in recent hiring cycles.
The guide benchmarks 72 tech roles across 6 disciplines, with Canada-wide ranges broken out by seniority: Junior (1 to 3 years), Intermediate (4 to 7 years), and Senior (8 or more years).
It reflects 2026 compensation, drawn from placements and active recruitment cycles rather than year-old surveys, so you are pricing against today's market.
Yes. A dedicated section covers Bill 190 and Ontario pay-transparency expectations, including what they mean for posting salary ranges in job ads.
