## 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 contributing to 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

- 2+ 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
- Solid product instincts: you think about the customer's problem first, and use that to guide your technical approach
- Comfort working in ambiguity: you can take a rough problem statement and turn it into a shipped feature
- A collaborative style: you work well with PMs, designers, and other engineers, and communicate clearly about tradeoffs
- Execution-driven mindset: you bias toward shipping and iterating over long design cycles
- Nice to have: experience at a B2B SaaS company, especially during a period of rapid growth
