San Francisco, California, United States Complete Full time

Complete is on a mission to make compensation a winning advantage for the world's highest-impact companies. We are breaking compensation workflows out from spreadsheets and bringing them into the 21st century — think leveling and compensation cycle planning, total rewards statements for employees, interactive candidate offers [sample], and much more
Why Complete?

We realize that Compensation is a key determinant to a company's success (and their biggest spend). Yet, enterprises lack the expertise to build and operate a defensible compensation strategy, making it one of the most costly mistakes to their financial and operational efficiency.

We believe that companies with creative compensation strategies do and will continue to win. Our customers include highly impactful startups like Render, Vercel, Brex, Linear, and Cortex, all the way to world-class enterprises like Roblox.

Complete is backed by Accel and YC. We're also lucky to count technology leaders and operators like Will Larson (CTO of Carta), Eric Sagar (COO of Plaid), ****Mathilde Collin (CEO of Front) as our angels and/or advisors.

Who we are?
We're exceptionally product minded builders. We obsess over quality and believe that software built in the 21st century should not require product trainings.
Our culture is best described as low ego and painstakingly fast. Companies do not need big teams to prove PMF — they need focus.
We're a small team of 5 with exceptional product and business acumen. It's allowed us to compete and consistently win against competitors.
Our customers include the likes of startups like Linear and Brex to public companies like Roblox, and we're adding amazing logos to this list every day... with NO sales team (yet)
We work in person in SF, 4-5 days/week. We believe that bringing the most talented folks together in one room is the fastest way to win as a startup.

What are we looking for?
Complete is at an exciting inflection point and we're looking for a Senior/Staff Engineers to help scale us to a $XXM+ in ARR. You'll be a great fit if you like to move with urgency and high agency. We're engineers and builders obsessed with customer outcomes and love challenging the status quo. At a high level, there are three areas you can expect to lean on at Complete:
Ownership: We need experienced engineers who can own and grow entire lines of businesses end-to-end.
Autonomy: We value autonomy and believe that a small team of highly experienced product engineers can come together to create magic
Scale: We're scaling To new countries, to X0,000+ users, and to high-profile logos. We're actively winning in the enterprise segment, which means working on deep and interesting problems like revamping our authorization, customizability, observability, security, and so on.

Tech stack

We believe that engineering productivity has shot up in the past 3-4 years, thanks to excellent platforms that not only support weekend projects, but have the caliber to scale:
Hosted on Render (Services, Workers) and Vercel (Frontend)

Clerk for authentication
for integrations with ATS and HRIS systems
React frontend
Python backend (primarily Django) with Postgres
Unified GraphQL API
GitHub, Graphite, Slack, Notion, Linear

Above all, we're defining our tech stack as we go, and believe we're still early enough to be too rigid about certain choices. We want YOU to come and help us set our technical vision.
