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 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.

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.
