Founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Francisco, the 170-person company now serves more than 5,700 customer accounts. To expand its software suite and handle real-time compensation data across thousands of employers, the company is opening 20 new positions across software engineering, analytics, marketing, and go-to-market teams. ## Real-Time Compensation Benchmarking Pave integrates directly with company HR systems, payroll software, and capitalization tables to ingest, normalize, and secure internal compensation data. Instead of relying on static annual survey reports, employers access real-time benchmark metrics across tech and corporate roles to evaluate salary ranges, equity packages, and promotion cycles. The company's technology stack relies on responsive web applications built with React, Redux, and TypeScript on the frontend. Its backend infrastructure, currently hosted in Google Cloud Platform with plans to migrate to AWS, uses TypeScript, Google Cloud Functions, and Firestore to process and secure compensation dataset pipelines. ## Founder Backgrounds Pave was founded in 2019 by Chief Executive Officer [Matt Schulman](https://zerogtalent.com/people/matt-schulman), alongside co-founders [Eric Ho](https://zerogtalent.com/people/eric-ho), [JP Patel](https://zerogtalent.com/people/jp-patel), [Justin Mitchell](https://zerogtalent.com/people/justin-mitchell), [Oren Bass](https://zerogtalent.com/people/oren-bass), and [Sal Lahoud](https://zerogtalent.com/people/sal-lahoud).
