Company mission

To build the world's best compensation tools and easily accessible market data so companies can plan, communicate, and benchmark in real-time.

Role

Who you are

  • The ideal fit for this role is someone who enjoys creating and innovating with data, is passionate about metrics and methods, and who is able to balance the need for technical complexity with user-facing simplicity.
  • This person has a deep technical toolkit, but also knows that the highest value data products are not always the most complex
  • Have a Bachelors or other advanced degree in a quantitative discipline: statistics, operations research, social science, computer science, engineering, mathematics, economics, etc
  • 4+ years of experience in a Data Science role, preferably at a technology company
  • Expert data manipulation skills with a proficiency in SQL
  • Expert in statistical modeling with Python or R (e.g., clustering, regression, time series, Bayesian statistics)
  • Strong data intuition and creativity: you are able to design creative, useful, and accurate metrics, and have strong intuitions about where metrics go wrong
  • Strong analytical problem solving skills: you have the ability to translate qualitative business questions into quantitative solutions
  • Product- and business-minded: you enjoy using data to solve user pain points and business problems
  • Strong ability to communicate technical outcomes to cross-functional audiences
  • Ability to navigate (and bring structure to) ambiguity, with the ability to bring a project from 0 to 1

Desirable

  • Experience evaluating the performance of ML models (note that this is not an ML-specific role, but you will work closely with ML Engineers)
  • Experience with data transformations using dbt
  • Experience building customer-facing data products
  • Experience working with product managers, engineers, and/or designers

What the job involves

  • We’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Market Data Team. The Market Data Teams prototypes and builds brand new data products, as well as leveraging data to improve our existing ones.
  • You’ll partner with Product Managers and go-to-market leaders to understand user needs, partner with Design to create early prototypes and explorations, then work with our Software Engineering team to scale your insights into high quality, compelling user-facing products

Application process

  • The majority of our roles have 3-5 interview rounds. You can expect to hear back from our team within 7 days of application, as well as within 2 days after each interview round. Once we extend an offer, we hope to hear back from you within 1 week

Our take

Compensation survey and merit cycle processes are integral to so many businesses, and yet remain time-consuming manual activities. Staff often lack financial training resulting in spreadsheet induced errors. Pave saw a need to update and streamline the process.

The core advantage of Pave is its ease of integration with HRIS, ATS and cap table software, creating real-time compensation data views without the need for spreadsheets. Using the software creates a fair and transparent system that management can rely on and employees can respect. The company has seen strong momentum, with backing from big names like Y Combinator and az16.

Some organisations have been reluctant to adopt solutions like Pave’s on account of the radical transparency it provides. However, with companies like Credit Karma, Miro and Discord all signing on, Pave has proven its ability to draw lucrative enterprise-level clients. This bodes well for the company’s ongoing success.
