Software Engineer (Developer Platform)

• The Developer Platform team owns the foundation that powers Pave - from the infrastructure that keeps our product reliable and scalable to the development systems that help our product, data, and engineering teams move fast with confidence. As coding agents take on more meaningful work alongside engineers, we’re extending that same platform to help both humans and agents build, verify, ship, operate, and improve software reliably in production
• Agentic engineering: Build shared infrastructure for agent environments, repository context, event-driven workflows, verification, runtimes, automated merge flows, and measurement
• CI/CD and monorepo tooling: Improve dependency boundaries, differential builds and tests, CI performance, test reliability, merge speed, and deployment reliability and speed
• Developer environments and platform abstractions: Make local and remote development fast and reproducible, and improve systems like background jobs and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) so engineers and agents can use them safely with less platform expertise
• Infrastructure, scale, and reliability: Build, operate, and evolve the underlying infrastructure that powers Pave. Improve scalability, performance, reliability, cost efficiency, and operational health as product usage and technical complexity grow

Benefits

• Commute: Commuter pre-tax benefit accounts + employer contribution for full-time employees
• WFH Wednesday: A dedicated work from home day each week + additional flexibility by team!
• Food: All meals while working, plus snacks. We take our snacking seriously
• Tech: Choose your laptop and accessories of choice
• Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need - we encourage our team to unplug with unlimited PTO
• Compensation: Startup equity for full-time employees
• Team: Retreats, happy hours, and events for our team, friends, and family
• Wellness: Top tier health insurance along for full-time employees

• Have 3+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in backend systems, infrastructure, developer tooling, or developer experience
• Take pride in owning systems over time, not just shipping them: measuring how they perform in production, diagnosing issues, and continuously making them faster, safer, more scalable, and more reliable
• Some of the technologies we work with include TypeScript, Node.js, MySQL, OrbStack, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog, GitHub Actions, E2B, ClickHouse, and Incident.io
• We’re hiring across a range of experience levels and optimize for slope over intercept. You might already be comfortable leading ambiguous, cross-team initiatives, or you might be earlier in that journey and eager to grow into broader ownership quickly
• Are pragmatic, collaborative, and excited to take on increasing scope and ownership over time
• Are excited about building the infrastructure that makes coding agents reliable participants in the software development lifecycle
• You’ll likely thrive here if you:
• Have experience with areas like CI/CD, build systems, monorepos, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, testing, or observability - we don’t expect expertise in all of them
• Care deeply about developer productivity, fast feedback loops, reliable systems, and thoughtful abstractions
• Are a strong debugger and systems thinker who learns unfamiliar systems quickly
