The Role:

At Compa, we’re building the future of enterprise compensation. Our platform helps the world’s largest companies make smarter, fairer, and more transparent pay decisions—powered by live data and thoughtful design.

As a Software Engineer, you’ll have significant ownership and autonomy to build the systems and infrastructure that power Compa’s core products. You’ll work across the stack, collaborate closely with product and design, and contribute to features that directly impact enterprise customers.

  • Participate in code reviews, team rituals, and roadmap discussions

  • Solve real problems for enterprise compensation teams—from data pipelines to user experience

Minimum Qualifications
  • 2+ years of experience shipping production software in a collaborative environment

  • Strong proficiency in at least one modern web development language or framework

  • Comfortable working across the stack or specializing in either frontend or backend

  • Proven ability to work autonomously and follow through on commitments

  • Pragmatic and thoughtful about trade-offs—focus on outcomes over tools

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in early-stage or high-growth startup environments

  • Familiarity with compensation, HR tech, or enterprise SaaS (not required)

  • Experience working on data-driven products or complex user workflows

  • Interest or experience in AI systems or ML infrastructure (a plus, not a requirement)

  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and working in fast-paced, iterative environments

Tech Stack

You don’t need experience with all of these, but familiarity with any is a plus:
