Product Engineering Teams

Market Data: We enable compensation professionals to access reliable, comprehensive compensation data to make informed decisions.
Market Pricing: We help compensation teams efficiently price jobs against market data and construct appropriate salary ranges.
Comp Planning: We empower compensation teams, leaders, and managers to plan and allocate compensation budgets with confidence.

Over the next year, our roadmap focuses on enhancing the entire compensation lifecycle to help Total Rewards leaders take charge of their organizations' largest expense, confidently make decisions, and earn org-wide trust. From philosophy definition to market trend analysis, range management, merit cycles, and employee communications, we're building solutions for every phase of the compensation calendar. We're seeking passionate engineers who are excited about building robust, data-rich systems that simplify complex compensation processes at scale.
