The R&D organization encompasses engineering, product, design, data science, and security. We're a high performing team that moves between ideation, scoping, and execution in a matter of days. Everyone on the team has high agency to design, experiment, and build great software in partnership with our pre-sales and post-sales teams, and our clients. We're seeking passionate engineers who are excited about building robust, data-rich systems that simplify complex compensation processes at scale. Our stack is React, TypeScript, Node.js, MySQL, and BigQuery hosted on GCP. The Core Platform team sits at the center of Pave Engineering, bridging product and platform engineering. We build the foundational services, APIs, and abstractions that enable every team to ship enterprise-grade software with speed and confidence. In this role, you'll own critical services like user authentication and authorization, as well as the foundational data infrastructure and models powering Pave's compensation intelligence platform. Success in this role requires strong systems thinking and the ability to drive large, complex initiatives across the organization.
