PRODUCT @ PAVE

how companies plan, execute, and communicate all aspects of compensation. You

of compensation intelligence. You'll work closely with Product and Design to

WHAT YOU'LL BRING
* 2+ years of full-stack, backend, or frontend engineering experience, ideally
with modern web technologies such as TypeScript and Node.js, including
experience building data-intensive applications.

use that to guide your technical approach
* Comfort working in ambiguity: you can take a rough problem statement and turn
it into a shipped feature
* A collaborative style: you work well with PMs, designers, and other
engineers, and communicate clearly about tradeoffs
* Execution-driven mindset: you bias toward shipping and iterating over long
design cycles
* Nice to have: experience at a B2B SaaS company, especially during a period of
rapid growth

coverage for you and your family, with a range of options designed to meet

LIFE @ PAVE
Founded in 2019 with a clear purpose and a team that has never wavered from it,
Pave has grown into a global force in compensation management — giving thousands
of companies the tools to take control, build confidence, and earn credibility
in every pay decision they make. And we're just getting started. Headquartered
in San Francisco's Financial District, with regional hubs in New York City's
Flatiron District, Salt Lake City, Kraków (Poland), and the United Kingdom —
wherever you're based, you'll find the same thing: people who genuinely care
about the work, each other, and the customers that rely on Pave.
We run a hybrid culture that brings teams together in person 3 to 4 days a week
— and every Friday, the whole company gathers for our Team Sync: breakfast, new
hire welcomes, product updates, fireside chats, and yes, the occasional Kahoot.
It's one of the things people notice when they join us — that we truly enjoy
spending time together.
Our culture is shaped by five values we live every day:
* Be Intellectually Honest — Truth over comfort. We face reality clearly and
speak directly, even when it's hard.
* Play to Win — We're not here to participate. We're here to be the #1
compensation platform in the world, and we act like it.
* Uphold the Pave Platinum Standard — We hold ourselves to the highest bar —
for our customers, our data, and each other.
* One Team — We win and lose together. Titles don't drive decisions here —
shared goals do.
* Hug of Jawn — Hard to define, impossible to miss. Ask your recruiter.
Our Vision: Unlock a labor market built on trust.
Our Mission: Build confidence in every compensation decision.
We build software that transforms how companies pay their people — and we
believe the team behind that software deserves the same thoughtfulness. If
you're ready to help shape the future of compensation alongside people who are
smart, humble, and genuinely motivated by the problem we're solving, we'd love
to meet you.
Still deliberating? Just apply! We're always excited to meet people who are
eager to contribute.
