'Architect/Full stack developer' in Bay Area... How much should I ask for salary?

>Location:
Around San Jose, California

>Title:
Architect/Full stack developer at a medium subsidiary (less than 500 employees) of a very very large company.

>What it entices:
Architect + lead tech (full stack) + principal hacker. I'll be doing design and the majority of the implementation. I will be leading a small team as well. Will have someone junior to me as well. Probably will have to mentor him (kind of exciting). A lot of the people who work here are researchers, scientists, and low level developers (C++, parallel computing with CUDA, etc). I'll be expected to dig down on that as well. But, I will be the guy everyone comes to when it needs to work within a web application/service (and be scaled).

>Other details:
They have a big deadline coming up in a few months and they need to scale. Basically a web app that will be serviced out to various vendors and consumers. This will be my first project. All my feedback has been very positive during the interviews.

>Research so far:
Glassdoor. Indeed. Average seems to be 150K-160K.

>About me:
Graduated 2 years ago (with various internships and past experiences). Worked at a defense contractor doing software engineering. Left and joined a small consultant company where I started and finished many projects both by myself and in a team environment (five people total; two engineers). I can talk with customers, get requirements, etc. I try to learn as much as I can and keep an open mind about both old and new tech.

>Question:
How much should I ask for this position? I would go off Glassdoor and Indeed, but aren't architect roles typically separated from lead dev/tech roles (and this one is full stack)? Since it's kind of combined with a bunch of other responsibilities, maybe I could ask for more (and what about benefits/bonus/stock)? Or am I pressing my luck?

Thanks!
