Full Job Description
The Market Pricing Team @ Pave

Compensation decisions get made every day with far less data than they deserve. Market Pricing empowers teams to price jobs in hours instead of months, with more data, build competitive pay ranges, and understand exactly how those decisions land across their organization. Getting this right means companies can stay competitive and retain their best talent.
What You'll Do
  • Propose and implement scalable systems for our most sophisticated customers
  • Partner with stakeholders to take ambiguous problems from an idea to a shipped, enterprise-ready feature
  • Own all phases of the development lifecycle, from a conversation with a customer to post-release monitoring
  • Set technical direction across projects, mentor engineers, and raise the bar on how the team build
What You'll Bring
  • 5+ years of backend engineering experience
  • A strong eye for performance, reliability, and robust systems design
  • You have empathy for compensation teams and understand the challenges involved in pricing an employees' pay
  • You have strong judgement when operating in the unknown; weighing all of the tradeoffs when there is no "correct" answer
  • Proven ability to break ambiguous, complex problems into concrete milestones with clear success metrics and drive them to completion with minimal oversight
  • You influence design decisions across the team, mentor other engineers, and bring people along through clear reasoning
  • You thrive in fast-paced environments and ship thoughtful solutions without over-engineering
