Rewards & benefits

When it comes to our reward philosophy, we take a different view of rewarding people than nearly any other business.

We firmly believe in paying people what they are worth to us, not just what we can get away with or what they could earn elsewhere. We think this is the right way to treat people. And, in the long run, it's good for the business too.

In our 2025 survey, 80% of Swiggers said they were satisfied or very satisfied with their reward — against a YouGov benchmark of 40% for knowledge workers. The philosophy works.

Pay & equity

Financial rewards.

We pay excellent salaries above the normal market level. We don't have a fixed salary band for any position. Instead, reward is always determined based on the ability and contribution of the individual. We aim to hire the very best people, and we expect to pay accordingly.

We offer share options to our people (role dependent). This gives Swiggers a long-term stake in the value that we are building together. It turns people into owners, and drives the kind of collective, long-term behavior that makes us successful. Share options are awarded annually, on a discretionary basis, to Swiggers who have demonstrated consistently strong performance through the past year.

"Humans aren't resources. PortSwigger is its people; they aren't just a means to the company's ends."

Benefits & Perks

Benefits and perks.

The benefits and perks we offer are driven by our passion to nurture our culture as we grow. Each serves the purpose of helping us to recognize how much we value our people, and provide the best experience of work for all Swiggers.
