Software Engineer - Backend

Research & Design Org

Pave's R&D pillar includes our data science, engineering, information technology, product design, product management, and security teams. This organization builds, maintains, and secures a platform used by more than 8,500+ client organizations.

Our engineering team moves between ideation, scoping, and execution in a matter of days while closely iterating with cross-functional partners on requirements. At Pave, we use TypeScript, Node.js, and React, hosted on GCP.

Compensation strategy is broken down into 3 pillars - compensation bands, planning workflows, and total rewards communication. We build products that make these processes seamless for customers.

Over the next year, our roadmap is focused on enhancing the entire compensation lifecycle: from philosophy definition to market trend analysis, band adjustments, merit cycles, and employee communication. We're seeking passionate engineers who are excited about building robust, data-rich systems that simplify complex compensation processes at scale.

What You'll Bring

• 2+ years of full-time backend engineering experience, ideally using modern web technologies such as TypeScript and Node.js, with at least some experience building data-intensive applications.
• Growing understanding of secure data architecture: You are able to design and work with relational and/or NoSQL databases. You optimize queries with guidance and are learning to handle large datasets securely and efficiently.
• Growing product intuition: You understand the value of building for user impact. You seek context from product partners and balance speed with thoughtful technical decisions.
• Execution-driven mindset: You thrive in fast-paced environments, bias toward action, and ship thoughtful solutions without overengineering.

• Collaborative working style: You work well with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers, and care deeply about delivering value to users.
• Nice to have: Experience at B2B SaaS companies, especially during periods of rapid growth or platform expansion
