What the job involves

The Developer Platform team sits at the heart of Pave Engineering
We own the infrastructure, tooling, and workflows that enable every team to ship enterprise-grade software with speed and confidence
As an engineer on the team, you’ll play a technical leadership role in shaping developer experience, scaling our production systems, and establishing foundational engineering patterns adopted across the org
Our stack includes: TypeScript, Node.js, Orbstack, Kubernetes, Terraform, GCP, Datadog, GitHub Actions, Cursor, and Incident.io

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. It also became a Unicorn in 2022 after an impressive Series C funding round, boding well for its longevity.
