Twilio, the cloud communications company, has emerged as a major winner in the pandemic economy, with its stock price more than tripling since January, giving it a market cap of some $51 billion.
Founded in 2008 in the midst of the Great Recession, Twilio builds technology for developers to help them build apps that can send text messages or make phone calls. That's helped customers like grocery delivery service Instacart and medical record software giant Epic keep pace with the increased demands of the present moment.
Against that backdrop, Twilio is growing: Not only does it plan to acquire the customer data analytics company Segment for $3.2 billion, it's also still hiring.
While Twilio doesn't give out much information into what it pays its workers, Business Insider dug through the firm's disclosure data with the US Office of Foreign Labor Certification to get a hint.

Notably, these figures aren't necessarily comprehensive — they only account for base pay, and don't include cash bonuses, stock options, or any other form of compensation.
Here's a peek at the salaries that Twilio pays US-based engineers, product managers, marketing managers, and more, based on over 100 approved visa applications that the company filed with authorities:
