Software Engineer, AI

The Eng Team @ Pave

Pave's AI compensation analyst - an agentic system that sits on top of the world's largest proprietary compensation dataset and Pave's existing workflow engine. Think: autonomous agents that can reason over structured compensation data and execute multi-step workflows (market pricing, cycle planning, attrition analysis) across Pave's platform. In this role, you'll shape the technical vision and execution, working with a team of engineers and data scientists to build the product end-to-end and take it to market. This role requires deep AI expertise, strong product intuition, and a founder mentality.

What You'll Bring

• 3+ years building production systems, with hands-on experience working with LLMs, agentic architectures, and retrieval systems
• Strong product instincts. You want to understand the customer problem and why it matters
• Experience shipping features end-to-end in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Pragmatic engineering judgment: you know when to move fast and when to invest in quality
• Collaborative by default. You communicate clearly, work well across teams, and leave codebases better than you found them
• High agency with bias toward action and ownership; you're energized by the challenge of bringing a new AI product to market

Compensation, It's What We Do.

At Pave, we believe compensation should be as thoughtful as the people we hire. Your total rewards package includes meaningful equity, best-in-class medical, dental, and vision coverage, unlimited 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.

P3: $166,600 - $225,400
P4: $195,500 - $264,500
