ITX’s Compensation Philosophy  

Equality in compensation has been our practice since ITX started in 1997.      

ITX believes that market-based pay ensures fair and equitable compensation for our worldwide team members and pay that is based on the market, not on who has the best negotiation skills.  At ITX, you’ll never discover that someone in the same job with the same experience makes more than you, or that there are pay gaps based on race, gender, disability, or age.         

How do our team members experience market-based pay at ITX?  We gather market data to benchmark each position in our candidates’ and team members’ locations and use these benchmarks for candidate offers and to perform regular compensation reviews for our team members.  You’ll never have to worry about asking for a pay raise again.  At least once a year ITX automatically adjusts pay when the benchmark is higher than our team member’s compensation.      

In Latam, the pay range for the Tech Lead role is USD $5500 to $7900 monthly, depending on experience, specific skills and certifications, and education. Based on your location in Latam pay ranges could be adjusted according to local market data, which can vary from country to country. This variation percentage could be 15% lower or 17% higher.
