What our data shows for Cloud Architect

RoleHue publishes 3,776 salary records for Cloud Architects, across 119 cities. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $94,418 at the 25th percentile to $122,720 at the 75th, a spread of $28,302 around $103,852. Each of those three figures averages the city-level percentiles rather than ranking the pooled records, and weights each city by how many records it holds, so the cities we hold most data for pull them hardest. Measured against that $103,852 figure rather than in dollars (27% of it), that spread is mid-pack among the roles we cover.

Redmond, WA carries the highest median we hold for the role at $159,099; Memphis, TN the lowest at $66,871, a gap of $92,229. The middle half of those city medians, weighted by how many records each city contributes, spans $23,976, narrower than the $28,302 band within cities: for Cloud Architects, where a record sits within its own metro separates our numbers more than which metro it came from.

No single metro carries most of this: the largest share is Plano, TX, with 208 of the 3,776 records we publish for this role (6%). Evidence clears 25 records in 35 of the 119 cities; for the rest, the city median we show rests on fewer records than that.
