At Pave, our vision is simple - Make Compensation Fair.

How are we going to get there? By building the most intelligent compensation platform, powered by the largest real-time compensation dataset on earth.

We partner with our customers to help them build and retain world-class teams through planning, communicating and benchmarking their team’s compensation in real time.

And you don’t have to just hear it from us you can hear it from our customers : Hover, Plaid, Fanduel and more!

We’re growing fast, building an incredible team and product, and having plenty of fun as we do it in our San Francisco and New York City offices.

If operating with intellectual honesty, playing to win, and focusing on upholding a platinum standard sounds exciting - we highly encourage you to reach out.

We’d love to partner on our journey to change the world of compensation!

At the heart of every company’s compensation strategy are the following pillars : compensation bands , compensation planning , and total rewards communication .

Creating and maintaining compensation bands in an ever-changing labor market is equal parts art and science. These bands are then utilized in various compensation planning strategies to reward high performers and retain top talent.

Finally, the output of compensation planning is visualized for employees in their Total Rewards portals where they can continue to simulate how their wealth can grow through refresh programs, promotions, and company growth.

Our Market Pricing and Plan & Execute teams build the products that enable our customers to do so in a frictionless and transparent way.

Over the next year, we have an ambitious roadmap that encompasses the entire compensation strategy lifecycle : how customers define their compensation philosophies, model their jobs in Pave, understand trends in market data, translate trends into their compensation bands, apply band adjustments into merit cycle planning, communicate compensation adjustments to eligible employees, and help employees understand the value of their compensation over time.

Within our agile teams, we value strong ownership and collaboration. Team members move between ideation, scoping, and execution in a matter of days while closely iterating with cross-functional partners on requirements.

We expect you to be comfortable and excited about navigating ambiguity. We’re looking for product-centric engineers to help us embark on this journey together we’re only scratching the surface!

Our Compensation Philosophy

Pave’s compensation philosophy is to target the 75th percentile of the market for both cash and equity at your job level.

This means that the mid point of every band at Pave is the 75th percentile of the broader market.

Pave also has a merit-based philosophy when it comes to compensation increases. We run a performance cycle twice per year to evaluate employees’ performance.

Higher than average performance ratings result in compensation increases to the upper end of the individual’s compensation range for their role.

The result is that high performers at Pave are paid above the 75th percentile of the market at large.

Pave is committed to pay equity. If you get an offer from Pave, it will be based on your level as determined by your interview performance.

And nothing else. We explicitly do not negotiate salary and equity to ensure that we aren’t introducing bias that could lead to pay inequities within the team between candidates who have different negotiation tactics.
