The Data Platform team owns the data infrastructure that makes Pave work — connecting Pave's platform to the HRIS, EMS, ATS, and partner systems that power our customers' compensation workflows. Without reliable, high-quality integrations, none of Pave's products can deliver their full value. This is a high-leverage role at the core of Pave's platform strategy. This is also a rare opportunity to join as a founding engineer on the team - meaning you won't just be executing on a defined roadmap, but actively shaping how the platform evolves, what gets prioritized, and what engineering culture looks like from day one. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Data Platform team, you will design and build the connectors, pipelines, and platform capabilities that enable Pave to serve enterprise customers at scale. You'll have significant influence over the architecture and reliability of a system that touches every Pave customer. ### What You'll Do
At Pave, we believe compensation should be as thoughtful as the people we hire. This role is structured as a B2B contract engagement — and your total rewards package includes meaningful equity, flexible 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. ### Benefits @ Pave
At Pave, growth isn't a perk — it's the point. As you develop, your role expands, your responsibilities deepen, and your compensation reflects the impact you're making. We offer a monthly stipend to cover:
Private Health Coverage: Comprehensive private healthcare to keep you and your wellbeing a priority — because great work starts with taking care of yourself. - Sports & Wellness: A monthly wellness stipend to fuel your active lifestyle — whether that's a MultiSport membership or whatever keeps you moving. - Life & Disability Protection: Life, AD&D, and permanent disability coverage so you and your family are protected when it matters most. - Room to Keep Growing: A quarterly education stipend to invest in the skills and knowledge that matter most to you. - Retirement Program: Monthly retirement contributions to help you build the kind of long-term financial security that lets you focus on the work in front of you. What comes with working at Pave:
Time That's Actually Yours: Flexible PTO to rest, recharge, and show up as your best self — no counting days, no guilt. - Work From Anywhere: The freedom to work from anywhere in the world for a full month each year, because life doesn't pause and neither should you. - Equipment: Top-of-the-line Pave hardware waiting for you on day one — no setup anxiety, just hit the ground running. ### Life @ Pave
Founded in 2019 with a clear purpose and a team that has never wavered from it, Pave has grown into a global force in compensation management — giving thousands of companies the tools to take control, build confidence, and earn credibility in every pay decision they make. And we're just getting started. Headquartered in San Francisco's Financial District, with regional hubs in New York City's Flatiron District, Salt Lake City, Kraków (Poland), and the United Kingdom — wherever you're based, you'll find the same thing: people who genuinely care about the work, each other, and the customers that rely on Pave. We run a hybrid culture that brings teams together in person 3 to 4 days a week — and every Friday, the whole company gathers for our Team Sync: breakfast, new hire welcomes, product updates, fireside chats, and yes, the occasional Kahoot. It's one of the things people notice when they join us — that we truly enjoy spending time together.
