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.
Our culture is shaped by five values we live every day:
- Be Intellectually Honest — Truth over comfort. We face reality clearly and speak directly, even when it's hard.
- Play to Win — We're not here to participate. We're here to be the #1 compensation platform in the world, and we act like it.
- Uphold the Pave Platinum Standard — We hold ourselves to the highest bar — for our customers, our data, and each other.
- One Team — We win and lose together. Titles don't drive decisions here — shared goals do.
- Hug of Jawn — Hard to define, impossible to miss. Ask your recruiter.
Our Vision: Unlock a labor market built on trust.
Our Mission: Build confidence in every compensation decision.
We build software that transforms how companies pay their people — and we believe the team behind that software deserves the same thoughtfulness. If you're ready to help shape the future of compensation alongside people who are smart, humble, and genuinely motivated by the problem we're solving, we'd love to meet you.
Still deliberating? Just apply! We're always excited to meet people who are eager to contribute.
Pave uses automated tools, including AI-based fraud detection, to verify applicant identity and protect the integrity of our hiring process.
