I am concerned that they might be being underpaid for doing the type of work that they are. Let's Encrypt is not only a great service, but an important one too. I assume they have a good stock plan to make up.

Since they're a project of the Linux Foundation, they most definitely don't have any sort of stock plan – since you can't have equity in nonprofits.

I don't want to put words in the parent commenter's mouth, but I think the implication was that they would need to make up for NOT having a stock plan.

Netflix level pay would seem about right to me.

So, double? $400k loaded? I'd buy that.

LF is more of an industry consortium than a nonprofit public interest charity.
