The Data Platform Team @ Pave

The Data Platform team owns the data infrastructure that makes Pave work — connecting Pave's platform to the HRIS, EMS, ATS, and partner systems that power our customers' compensation workflows. Without reliable, high-quality integrations, none of Pave's products can deliver their full value. This is a high-leverage role at the core of Pave's platform strategy. This is also a rare opportunity to join as a founding engineer on the team - meaning you won't just be executing on a defined roadmap, but actively shaping how the platform evolves, what gets prioritized, and what engineering culture looks like from day one. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Data Platform team, you will design and build the connectors, pipelines, and platform capabilities that enable Pave to serve enterprise customers at scale. You'll have significant influence over the architecture and reliability of a system that touches every Pave customer.  

What You'll Do 

• Design and build new HRIS, EMS, ATS, and partner integrations, with a focus on enterprise-grade systems like Workday, BambooHR, and ADP
• Own integrations end-to-end — from connector design and data mapping through testing, rollout, and ongoing reliability
• Build and improve observability tooling — monitoring, alerting, and debugging infrastructure that gives the team and customers confidence in pipeline health
• Partner closely with product and go-to-market to prioritize connector coverage and unblock key deals
• Identify and address systemic reliability and scalability issues in Pave’s data platform

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience building and shipping production-grade software, with meaningful exposure to integrations, data pipelines, or API platforms
• Strong understanding of integration patterns, API design, and the operational challenges of third-party data dependencies
• Experience working on enterprise B2B products and an understanding of the reliability and data quality standards they require
• Ability to lead technical projects with ambiguity — third-party APIs are rarely well-documented and requirements shift
• Execution oriented — eager to not only design solutions but dive into implementation and see them through to a reliable, monitored production state
• Experience with our tech stack: TypeScript, Node.js, React, GCP

Compensation, It's What We Do.

At Pave, we believe compensation should be as thoughtful as the people we hire. This role is structured as a B2B contract engagement — and your total rewards package includes meaningful equity, flexible 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.

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.

We offer a monthly stipend to cover:

• Private Health Coverage: Comprehensive private healthcare to keep you and your wellbeing a priority — because great work starts with taking care of yourself.
• Sports & Wellness: A monthly wellness stipend to fuel your active lifestyle — whether that's a MultiSport membership or whatever keeps you moving.
• Life & Disability Protection: Life, AD&D, and permanent disability coverage so you and your family are protected when it matters most.
• Room to Keep Growing: A quarterly education stipend to invest in the skills and knowledge that matter most to you.
• Retirement Program: Monthly retirement contributions to help you build the kind of long-term financial security that lets you focus on the work in front of you.

What comes with working at Pave:

• Time That's Actually Yours: Flexible PTO to rest, recharge, and show up as your best self — no counting days, no guilt.
• Work From Anywhere: The freedom to work from anywhere in the world for a full month each year, because life doesn't pause and neither should you.
• Equipment: Top-of-the-line Pave hardware waiting for you on day one — no setup anxiety, just hit the ground running. 

The Communicate Team @ Pave

The Communicate team builds the products that help companies communicate compensation with clarity, transparency, and trust.

You will help define not just what gets built, but how the team operates, shaping the roadmap, influencing technical direction, and helping establish the engineering culture from the ground up. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in building elegant, enterprise-grade product experiences for some of the world’s leading companies. The team’s immediate focus is on expanding enterprise capabilities and building AI-powered compensation intelligence features that help companies make better pay decisions and give employees a clearer understanding of their compensation. 

What You'll Do

• Solve enterprise-scale challenges, designing products that perform reliably for organizations with 150,000+ employees
• Develop AI-powered compensation intelligence features that help leaders make better pay decisions and surface issues before they become retention risks
• Play a foundational role in shaping the team and product. As a founding engineer, you will help define the technical architecture, engineering patterns, testing practices, and quality standards the team will build on as it grows. You’ll partner closely with Product and Design to shape the roadmap, influence priorities, and help determine what gets built

The Recruiting Team @ Pave

Pave is opening its first engineering office outside of the US, and we're looking for a recruiter to help us build it. This is a founding role in the truest sense — you will be the first dedicated recruiter on the ground in Krakow, shaping how we show up as an employer in the Polish market and helping us hire the engineers who will define the office's culture and trajectory. You won't be working from a fully established playbook; you'll be helping write it. If you want to own a recruiting function rather than execute within one, this is the role.

Day-to-day, you'll run full-cycle recruiting for engineering roles and support hiring across other functions as we scale. You'll partner closely with hiring managers in Krakow and the US, manage candidate pipelines, and make sure every candidate has a great experience — whether or not they get an offer.

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting for engineering and non-engineering roles in the Krakow office
• Source and engage passive candidates through LinkedIn, local networks, and other creative channels
• Partner with hiring managers to define role requirements, calibrate on candidates, and move quickly on strong profiles
• Manage candidate experience end-to-end — clear communication, timely feedback, and a process that reflects well on Pave
• Help build and document recruiting processes, tooling, and workflows as the office scales
• Work alongside or manage relationships with external agencies where needed
• Occasionally support office and event coordination as the Krakow team grows — helping organize team gatherings, offsites, or office logistics on an as-needed basis
• Own the closing process for high caliber candidates while selling Pave’s mission

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience
• Strong sourcing skills — comfortable going beyond inbound and finding candidates who aren't actively looking
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Fluent in Polish and English
• Based in or willing to work from Krakow
• Experience with Greenhouse, Gem, LinkedIn Recruiter & Modernloop (bonus!)

The Data Platform team owns the data infrastructure that makes Pave work, connecting Pave's platform to the HRIS, EMS, ATS, and partner systems that power our customers' compensation workflows. Without reliable, high-quality integrations, none of Pave's products can deliver their full value. This is a high-leverage role at the core of Pave's platform strategy. This is also a rare opportunity to join as a founding engineer on the team - meaning you won't just be executing on a defined roadmap, but actively shaping how the platform is architected, what gets prioritized, and what engineering culture looks like from day one. As a Staff Software Engineer on the Data Platform team, you will set the technical direction for how Pave builds, scales, and operates its integrations infrastructure. You'll have a direct line from your architectural decisions to product capabilities and customer outcomes.

What You'll Do

• Assess the existing integrations infrastructure and drive high-impact architectural changes that improve reliability, performance, and developer experience
• Set the technical direction for how Pave builds and operates its connector and pipeline platform at scale
• Design and build new partner integrations and establish patterns that make future integrations faster to deliver
• Own data quality end-to-end, building validation, anomaly detection, and confidence signals that ensure customer data is accurate and up to date
• Build and scale the normalization layer that transforms messy, inconsistent data from thousands of customers into Pave's canonical data model
• Evaluate and apply AI to data normalization challenges, including automated field mapping, entity resolution, and data quality detection to improve data quality and reduce the manual effort of onboarding new customers
• Build and improve observability tooling: monitoring, alerting, and debugging infrastructure that gives the team and customers confidence in pipeline health
• Partner with product, go-to-market, and engineering leadership to shape the integrations roadmap and surface technical tradeoffs and investment needs
• Mentor and uplevel the engineers around you, creating leverage through coaching and the standards you set

What You'll Bring

• 8+ years of experience building and shipping production-grade software, with significant depth in integrations, data pipelines, or platform infrastructure
• Demonstrated ability to assess an existing system, identify structural weaknesses, and deliver architectural improvements that have lasting impact
• Deep understanding of integration patterns, API design, and the operational challenges of third-party data dependencies at enterprise scale
• A track record of working across team boundaries and influencing technical direction without direct authority
• Strong judgment in prioritization - able to sequence a large surface area of work and create as much value through what you simplify or kill as through what you ship
• Execution oriented - equally comfortable defining the architecture and rolling up your sleeves to drive implementation
