Yes, a company will pay you to work on open source projects that are considered valuable for that company.

I am surprised that Marak hasn't been offered a satisfactory job that pays six figures already. Perhaps he makes some mistakes while applying, or luck hasn't been on his side.

Or perhaps he hasn't applied?

You’d pay someone $100k a year to write a little JavaScript that generates a few random words? You wouldn’t be in business long.
