## About the role

Product engineers at Pave build the core workflows and experiences that power how companies plan, execute, and communicate all aspects of compensation. You will be leading projects and building features that are at the forefront of compensation intelligence. You'll work closely with Product and Design to ship features used daily by compensation teams, managers, and employees at companies like OpenAI, Databricks, and Atlassian.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of full-stack, backend, or frontend engineering experience, ideally with modern web technologies such as TypeScript and Node.js, including experience building data-intensive applications
- Strong product intuition: you translate customer needs and feedback into sound technical decisions, and know when to move fast versus invest in robust architecture
- Proven ability to break ambiguous, complex problems into concrete milestones and drive them to completion with minimal oversight
- Technical leadership: you influence design decisions across the team, mentor other engineers, and bring people along through clear reasoning
- Execution-driven mindset: you thrive in fast-paced environments and ship thoughtful solutions without overengineering
- Nice to have: experience at a B2B SaaS company, especially during a period of rapid growth or platform expansion
