DevOps @ Pave

We are a team of collaborative and creative problem solvers passionate about revolutionizing compensation tech with data-driven product solutions and enduring infrastructure. We are looking for mission-driven engineers eager to share ideas, take ownership, and get things done.

You will have the opportunity to be an active partner in championing business initiatives and shaping culture alongside an experienced team from the likes of Meta, Uber, Palantir, and Google.

The DevOps team at Pave manages the infrastructure and facilities development velocity for our Software Engineers. We are looking to create scalable, secure, and robust infrastructure architecture using IAC and implementing self-service methodologies wherever we can. As a Senior DevOps Engineer we are looking for you to help engineer our infrastructure stack, enable IaC and Self-Service, and improve our organization’s development velocity.

What we're looking for: 

• 5+ years of experience as a DevOps engineer or site reliability engineer
• Knowledge of public cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, etc) with deep knowledge in GCP preferred
• Experience in system and process scalability
• Experience with at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Go, Bash, Typescript)
• Exposure to architectural patterns for Serverless based applications
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code methodologies and implementation especially using Terraform

What you'll get out of it: 

• Exposure: DevOps sits at the center of engineering. We work with every engineering team on almost every initiative at Pave
• Leadership: You will be directly responsible for setting the tone and nature of best practices going forward
• Impact: You have the opportunity to act as a force multiplier at an exciting, growing company! Pave is still at an early enough stage where you can have a lasting impact on how we do business going forward
• Experience: We are looking to provide solutions to improve our workflows as well as trailblazing new ways of solving problems at the company. This will involve new tools, processes, procedures
• Work in a true DevOps culture. Many shops give lip service to a DevOps culture in engineering, Pave actually implements a DevOps culture throughout engineering

A final note — we highly encourage you to apply for this role, even if you don’t feel entirely qualified, or entirely sure. You never know!

Our Compensation Philosophy

Pave’s compensation philosophy is to target the 75th percentile of the market for both cash and equity at your job level.  This means that the “mid point” of every band at Pave is the 75th percentile of the broader market.

Pave also has a merit-based philosophy when it comes to compensation increases. We run a performance cycle twice per year to evaluate employees’ performance. Higher than average performance ratings result in compensation increases to the upper end of the individual’s compensation range for their role. The result is that high performers at Pave are paid above the 75th percentile
