How to read this number
The take-home figure applies a flat effective rate to a modelled gross band, so it is an estimate for comparison rather than a payslip. Bonuses, overtime, shift premiums, benefits and equity all sit outside it. Auckland housing costs dominate the real value of a band—Wellington and Christchurch offers often buy more.
DevOps and platform titles overlap with SRE at larger firms — compare total compensation when equity is thin but pager duty is heavy.
