Developer Platform @ PaveThe 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 setting CI/CD and observability standards to rethinking local development workflows and incident response - and you'll define 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.
- High developer empathy - you love improving workflows and enabling others to move faster.
- Proven ability to lead large, ambiguous projects with cross-team impact.
- A track record of improving developer velocity with modern AI tooling - agentic coding, AI-assisted review/testing - and strong opinions on where it does and doesn't help.
- Solid understanding of cloud architecture (GCP or similar). A strong instinct for reliability and security - you understand that on a platform handling compensation data, speed cannot come at the cost of trust.
- Strong debugging and systems-thinking skills, with experience scaling production systems.
- Nice to Have: Experience building internal developer platforms in enterprise SaaS environments.
Our stack includes: TypeScript, Node.js, Orbstack, ClickHouse, Kubernetes, Terraform, GCP, Datadog, GitHub Actions, E2B, and Incident.io.
