Methodology
Every figure is a count of current profiles on one named company's own exclusive homepage record — Salesforce, Oracle, Cisco, Adobe, SAP — never a rolled-up parent entity. The seat is spelled-out Director of Engineering, with Senior counted in the same family. All numbers share one as-of date, 2026-10-15 PT. Source: Metix AI.
FAQ
- Why these five companies and not other Director of Engineering employers?
- Because each of the five — Salesforce, Oracle, Cisco, Adobe, SAP — has its own exclusive company homepage record, so its bench can be counted directly. Together they hold 681 current Director of Engineering profiles across the five exclusive company homepage records as of 2026-10-15 PT.
- Does the total of 681 include Engineering Manager or VP of Engineering titles?
- No. The 681 is the sum of current Director of Engineering profiles on the five exclusive company homepage records (173 + 163 + 158 + 118 + 69) as of 2026-10-15 PT; Engineering Manager and VP of Engineering titles are counted outside this seat.
- Why does Salesforce sit at 173 while SAP sits at 69?
- The counting rule is identical for both: current Director of Engineering profiles on each company's own exclusive homepage record as of 2026-10-15 PT. Salesforce's record holds 173 and SAP's holds 69, so the gap reflects bench depth rather than a different scope.
- Can this same Director of Engineering seat cut be remade for a company outside the published 681-person pack?
- Yes. The published director of engineering peer pack stays fixed at 681 across the five exclusive homepage records as of 2026-10-15 PT, and the same spelled-out Director of Engineering seat can be applied to another company record on request.
