Full Job Description
The Agent 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 01 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.

P4: $195,500 - $264,500
