We help companies get compensation right.

What we get paid at work has a massive impact on our lives, and it’s one of the biggest factors in hiring and retaining talent - and yet so many companies struggle to get it right. They simply have no choice but to rely on poor data and unsophisticated tools for their pay decisions. That’s why we created Ravio.

We help many of the world’s most innovative and ambitious companies build stronger teams and reach their goals through better compensation. Our real-time data platform brings compensation into the modern age, tracking the market across all compensation types from salary to equity and benefits.

Ravio is growing fast, which means you can too. We’ve established ourselves as the European leader in our space serving more than 1,200 clients, and now have our sights set on becoming the global go to place for compensation data and tools for managing compensation.

Joining a startup and scaling it into a global product is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences a career can offer. If that sounds exciting to you, you’re in the right place.

The role

We're looking for two Staff Software Engineers to join our engineering team. You’ll play a major role in the company's technical leadership.

The Web App engineering team is dedicated to building Ravio's customer-facing web product, which is a data + SaaS platform. You’ll be expected to own many aspects of product architecture and technical design, and lead implementations.

You’ll bring deep expertise in at least one area such as frontend, backend, security, infrastructure or performance. You’ll continue to raise the bar on code quality, reliability, and system design.

Our collective capabilities span many areas, with members specialising in both frontend and backend development, with every team member contributing across the entire stack to some degree.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role - leading technical decision-making and tackling the hardest problems we encounter. There are also upcoming opportunities to move into management as our company continues to grow, if you wish.

The opportunity at Ravio right now

From your perspective, there are three critical things to look for when evaluating this role: a company going places, a strong engineering culture, and a role that gives you a true opportunity to have impact as a technical leader.

Ultimately it’s for you to decide whether that’s true in our two-way street interview process. Here’s a summary of where we are right now and what you can expect as a starting point.

There’s a lot happening at Ravio right now. We’ve just raised our Series A led by tier 1 US investors Spark Capital, and have acquired the benchmarking business of our competitor - Compete. We’ve got new joiners starting almost every week, and we’re rapidly expanding outside of our core markets in Europe. We need you to help us maintain our velocity and continue to build a scalable org and product.

Our core benchmarking product is at product-market fit, and we have a couple of new modules in the 0-1 phase. This means we’re at an exciting stage that involves 0-to-1 building in some areas, and building for scale in others. That’s true across the business, we’re continuing to expand and experiment, while systemising and doubling down on what is already working well from our seed phase.

We’d like to think Ravio is a great place to be a staff level engineer - we have technical co-founders who know first hand the importance of creating space and focus for engineering teams to do their best work. And you’ll be working alongside many accomplished and world class teammates, who are energised by the work they do and have a high bar for themselves and their colleagues.

Why join Ravio?

• Opportunity for fast-tracked professional growth at a scaleup backed by world-class investors alongside a smart, energetic team.

• Blend of IC work and leadership, giving you both hands-on impact and career growth.

• Remote-friendly, flexible work culture with a high degree of ownership.

• While we’re very focused, we also know how to have fun in the process.

• Build a meaningful product that helps people get paid fairly and competitively in their careers.

Compensation & benefits

• £106,000 - £128,000

• Company ownership (everyone gets a meaningful equity stake in Ravio)

• 37 days paid time off (25 days holiday + 4 wellness days + 8 public holidays)

• Up to 6% pension matching scheme

• £60 a month wellness allowance (Invest in your physical wellbeing, on us)

• Private healthcare cover (on a medical history disregarded basis) with AXA

• Personal worldwide travel insurance - just in case

• Income protection insurance (for full peace of mind in case you cannot work because of sickness or disability)

• 16 weeks fully paid birthing parent leave, followed by 4 weeks at 50% pay. For non-birthing parents, we offer 8 weeks fully paid leave.
