Who We Are
At Pave, we're building the industry’s leading compensation platform, combining the world's largest real-time compensation dataset with deep expertise in AI and machine learning. Our platform is perfecting the art and science of pay to give 8,500+ companies unparalleled confidence in every compensation decision.
Top tier companies like OpenAI, McDonald’s, Instacart, Atlassian, Synopsys, Stripe, Databricks, and Waymo use Pave, transforming every pay decision into a competitive advantage. $190+ billion in total compensation spend is managed in our workflows, and 80% of Forbes AI 50 use Pave to benchmark compensation.
The future of pay is real-time & predictive, and we’re making it happen right now. We’ve raised $160M in funding from leading investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Index Ventures, Y Combinator, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Craft Ventures.
The Security Team @ Pave
Security at Pave protects the world's largest real-time compensation dataset and the company that runs on it. The team is small, senior, and AI pilled: everyone builds, everyone automates, and everyone flexes across domains. As Pave's Corporate Security Engineer, you'll own the corporate side of that mission: identity and access management, endpoint protection, SaaS security, and the corporate compliance operations behind our SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 programs, with an explicit charter to aggressively automate all the things.
What You'll Do
Identity & Access Management
Own Okta and Pave's access-management model: role/group architecture, lifecycle automation, SSO/SCIM, and the exception process
Keep the RBAC model current and consistently enforced, with automation that prevents drift
Compliance Operations
Own the SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 controls that touch corporate IT, end to end
Automate evidence collection and user access reviews
Endpoint & SaaS Security
Own endpoint protection (MDM/EDR) across a five-location, ~175-person company
Run SaaS vendor security reviews and build shadow-IT visibility; feed IT-controlled data sources into our SIEM
Automation & AI
Engineer away manual IT toil — laptop setup, onboarding/offboarding provisioning, access requests — using APIs, workflow tooling, and AI agents
Build governance for employee-built internal apps: publish detection, automated review checks, sane sharing models
Partnership
Design the systems that Pave's helpdesk (in G&A) operates day to day; be the design counterpart that makes that team stronger and more self-sufficient
What You'll Bring
5+ years of hands-on corporate/enterprise security or IT security engineering experience at a multi-office company
Okta (or equivalent IdP) administration at the design level — you've built an access model, not just operated one
Experience operating within SOC 2 and/or ISO 27001: controls you owned passed audits
Hands-on MDM/EDR and Google Workspace–class SaaS estate administration as a primary owner
A track record of shipped automations with concrete before/after impact
Demonstrated, specific use of AI tooling in your own workflows
Previous management experience (nice to have)
Came up through IT/helpdesk into security (or similar path), so you have empathy for the people you’re supporting and first hand experience with the toil you’re here to automate away
Experience with Okta, GCP, Iru, Sentinel one, Claude code, and or similar tools
Vendor security review / third-party risk experience (nice to have)
Background at a 150–500 person B2B SaaS company handling sensitive data (nice to have)
Networking fundamentals
Compensation, It's What We Do.
At Pave, we believe compensation should be as thoughtful as the people we hire. Your total rewards package includes meaningful equity, best-in-class medical, dental, and vision coverage, unlimited PTO, and region-specific benefits designed around your life — not just your role. Your level and compensation are determined by your experience and how you show up throughout the interview process. We're always happy to walk you through how we think about leveling — just ask.
The targeted cash compensation for this position is (level depends on experience):
$220,000+(base) and equity included
Benefits @ Pave
At Pave, growth isn't a perk — it's the point. As you develop, your role expands, your responsibilities deepen, and your compensation reflects the impact you're making.
What we offer
Your Health, Fully Covered: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family, with a range of options designed to meet you where you are.
Time That's Actually Yours: Flexible PTO and the freedom to work from anywhere in the world for up to a month — because life doesn't pause, and neither should you.
Fuel for the Work: Lunch and dinner stipends plus fully stocked kitchens, so you can stay energized without thinking twice about it.
Room to Keep Growing: A quarterly education stipend to invest in the skills and knowledge that matter most to you.
Support When It Matters Most: Robust parental leave so you can be fully present for the moments that count.
Getting Here, Made Easier: A commuter stipend to support the in-person collaboration that makes great work happen.
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.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

Who We Are
At Pave, we're building the industry’s leading compensation platform, combining the world's largest real-time compensation dataset with deep expertise in AI and machine learning. Our platform is perfecting the art and science of pay to give 8,500+ companies unparalleled confidence in every compensation decision.
Top tier companies like OpenAI, McDonald’s, Instacart, Atlassian, Synopsys, Stripe, Databricks, and Waymo use Pave, transforming every pay decision into a competitive advantage. $190+ billion in total compensation spend is managed in our workflows, and 80% of Forbes AI 50 use Pave to benchmark compensation.
The future of pay is real-time & predictive, and we’re making it happen right now. We’ve raised $160M in funding from leading investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Index Ventures, Y Combinator, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Craft Ventures.
The Developer Platform Team @ Pave
The Developer Platform team sits at the heart of Pave Engineering. Our customers are Pave's own engineers. We treat developer experience as a product - the leverage layer that lets every team ship enterprise-grade software fast and reliably.
This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role where you'll help define how Pave builds software. As a senior engineer, you'll lead initiatives end to end, from CI/CD and observability standards to local development workflows and incident response. You'll also shape how AI-assisted and agentic workflows fit into Pave's development loop - from scaffolding to review to deploy. You'll partner closely with engineers across product and data to remove friction, boost developer velocity, and strengthen reliability. You'll own the metrics for developer velocity and reliability, and be accountable for moving them.
What You'll Bring
4+ years of experience in backend, infrastructure, or developer experience.
Solid understanding of cloud architecture (GCP or similar), with a sharp sense of the reliability and security tradeoffs that come with handling sensitive compensation data.
Strong debugging and systems thinking, with experience scaling production services.
Hands on with modern AI tooling - agentic coding, AI-assisted review/testing - with a clear-eyed view of where it does and doesn't help.
Experience with monorepo tooling and build systems - keeping builds fast and CI tractable as the codebase and team grow.
High developer empathy - you love improving workflows and helping others move faster.
Opinionated and pragmatic, with a genuine passion for engineering best practices and CI/CD craftsmanship: fast feedback loops, reliable pipelines, strong testing, safe progressive delivery.
Comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment, with a proven ability to lead large, ambiguous projects that land cross-team impact.
Some core technologies we build with include: TypeScript, Node.js, MySQL, Orbstack, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog, GitHub Actions, E2B, ClickHouse, and Incident.io.
Compensation, It's What We do.
Salary is just one component of Pave's total compensation package for employees. Your total rewards package at Pave will include equity, top-notch medical, dental, and vision coverage, an unlimited PTO policy, and many other region-specific benefits. Your level is based on our assessment of your interview performance and experience, which you can always ask the hiring manager about to understand in more detail. This salary range may include multiple levels.
The targeted cash compensation for this position is (level depends on experience and performance in the interview process)
$195,500 - $264,500
Benefits @ Pave
At Pave, growth isn't a perk — it's the point. As you develop, your role expands, your responsibilities deepen, and your compensation reflects the impact you're making.
What we offer
Your Health, Fully Covered: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family, with a range of options designed to meet you where you are.
Time That's Actually Yours: Flexible PTO and the freedom to work from anywhere in the world for up to a month — because life doesn't pause, and neither should you.
Fuel for the Work: Lunch and dinner stipends plus fully stocked kitchens, so you can stay energized without thinking twice about it.
Room to Keep Growing: A quarterly education stipend to invest in the skills and knowledge that matter most to you.
Support When It Matters Most: Robust parental leave so you can be fully present for the moments that count.
Getting Here, Made Easier: A commuter stipend to support the in-person collaboration that makes great work happen.
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.

The Engineering Team @ Pave
This role will be working on Pave's AI compensation analyst - an agentic system that sits on top of the world's largest proprietary compensation dataset and Pave's existing workflow engine. Think: autonomous agents that can reason over structured compensation data and execute multi-step workflows (market pricing, cycle planning, attrition analysis) across Pave's platform. In this role, you'll shape the technical vision and execution, working with a team of engineers and data scientists to build the product end-to-end and take it to market. This role requires deep AI expertise, strong product intuition, and a founder mentality.
What You'll Bring
7+ years of experience building production systems, with deep hands-on expertise in LLMs, agentic architectures, retrieval systems, and evaluation frameworks
Strong product intuition. You identify customer problems that AI can uniquely solve and partner with Product to shape what gets built, not just how
Proven track record leading 0→1 technical initiatives with high ambiguity, driving them from concept to production
Pragmatic engineering judgment: you know when to move fast and when to invest in quality
Ability to drive technical alignment across teams. You'll be defining primitives and patterns that other engineers build on, so you need to bring people along
Founder mentality with bias toward action, ownership, and urgency; you're energized by the challenge of bringing a new AI product to market
Compensation, It's What We Do.
At Pave, we believe compensation should be as thoughtful as the people we hire. Your total rewards package includes meaningful equity, best-in-class medical, dental, and vision coverage, unlimited PTO, and region-specific benefits designed around your life — not just your role. Your level and compensation are determined by your experience and how you show up throughout the interview process. We're always happy to walk you through how we think about leveling — just ask.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029
Why are you being asked to complete this form?
We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

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.
