Pave By The Numbers

• $190+ Billion in Total compensation spend managed in Pave workflows
• 8,500+ Companies using Pave
• 1+ Million Unique employees auto-matched into Pave's real-time dataset
• 135X Increase in equity benchmarks delivered with machine learning

At the heart of every company's compensation strategy are the following pillars: compensation bands, compensation planning, and total rewards communication,. Creating and maintaining compensation bands in an ever-changing labor market is equal parts art and science. These bands are then utilized in various compensation planning strategies to reward high performers and retain top talent. Finally, the output of compensation planning is visualized for employees in their Total Rewards portals where they can continue to simulate how their wealth can grow through refresh programs, promotions, and company growth. Our Market Pricing and Plan & Execute teams build the products that enable our customers do so in a frictionless and transparent way.

Over the next year, we have an ambitious roadmap that encompass the entire compensation strategy lifecycle: how customers define their compensation philosophies, model their jobs in Pave, understand trends in market data, translate trends into their compensation bands, apply band adjustments into merit cycle planning, communicate compensation adjustments to eligible employees, and help employees understand the value of their compensation over time.

Within our agile teams, we value strong ownership and collaboration. Team members move between ideation, scoping, and execution in a matter of days while closely iterating with cross functional partners on requirements. We expect you to be comfortable and excited about navigating ambiguity. We're looking for product-centric engineers to help us embark on this journey together — we're only scratching the surface!
